— Gabriel Malor Happy Tuesday, 'rons.
After a failed attempt in August 2008, SpaceX finally succeeded at launching the ashes of James Doohan and 306 others into orbit this morning. SpaceX is trying to make it as a contractor for NASA, but it's also making a little cash on the side---about $1 million for 306 folks' ashes.
By about 2-1, Americans say their financial situation is worse under Obama. Sadly, Americans also still blame Bush 43 over Obama by 49-34 percent for the current economy. *As is usual practice for an ABC/WaPo poll, they haven't listed the partisan breakdown of the poll.

Irish government has passed a "household tax" which is about $200 per year. People don't want to pay it because it requires giving the government all sorts of information about their property. So far about half of the population has refused to pay it.
Interviews with Irish people included a guy who sounded like a tea party ype, a woman who said she wasn't paying any more money just because the Germans said so, and another woman who said she would go to prison before she paid it.

I also heard this morning that Newt is quoted as saying he was really surprised that Obama is attacking Mitt on Bain capital.
The hypocrisy of that statement is jaw-dropping.

Things like:
Elon Musk just tweeted: "Dragon spaceship opens the navigation pod bay door without hesitation. So much nicer than HAL9000
"
Elon Musk just tweeted: "Navigation bay pointing to deep space and star map being generated by star tracker one. Yes!"
"We've never actually had solar arrays deploy in space, so it's the first time we've done solar arrays. A number of things could have gone wrong, but everything went right."

That way it becomes someone else's fault, and then they don't have to feel so stupid. I am speaking as a former democrat, so I know what I am talking about.
Whenever people start in about the Catholics and Obamacare, I just ask them to explain why Muslims get an exemption and Catholics do not. That sends them into a tailspin. I always point out that the media isn't covering that detail.

On last night's ONT they talked about man candles.
An Ohio teenager came up with the cool idea. He called them mancans.
his site is here: http://man-cans.com/
He buys soup, donates the soup and keeps the can, and then makes candles in the can.
win. win.

I did not realize he had been released, but apparently he has served his time. Why he is not in violation of some sort of law for what he has been doing, I do not know. I am from the Indianapolis area and well remember the fear his bombings caused (as well as the injuries and the probable murder of a cop, which was never proved).
The DOJ will never go after him as long as Obama is in the White House. McCain needs to go to a state which has an active, conservative attorney general who would prosecute.

Founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, an Internet mogul who helped start PayPal, SpaceX has spent $1.2 billion designing and building rockets and spacecraft intended to cut the costs and boost the reliability of space travel.
NASA has paid $381 million to go toward developing the company's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo spacecraft. The public-private partnership allows SpaceX to work with public financing and private capital.

"Why invent a new religion? Robert SpencerÂ’s excellent new book DID MOHAMMED EXIST? collates recent historical research questioning the existence of the historical Mohammed, much of it previously not accessible to a lay American audience. This is a dangerous thing to do, and a courageous one."
" '1) Mohammed may never have existed, and 2) If he existed, he may have had nothing to do with the Koran, which well might be an 8th- or 9th-century compilation.' SpencerÂ’s present book will be translated into major Muslim languages and published on the Internet, ... an important and welcome development."

Young Barack’s best pal just after he left Harvard Yard was a Pakistani, and if young Barack nursed ambitions to one day run for president of the United States, he probably didn’t know that the Constitution requires the president to be a “natural-born” citizen. He was a graduate of Harvard Law, after all, and it’s unfair to assume that he had been exposed to the Constitution by his professors there. For whatever reason, he did not correct his agent’s literary confection and as late as 2007 his biographical sketch still boasted of a Kenyan birth.

I think Spencer is a Christian himself. I can't recall ever reading that he denied the historicity of Jesus, though I may have missed it. However, his Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades does betray a tendency to cherry-pick information and make invalid comparisons which does make him a poor scholar at times.

A plethora of contemporary mentions, the Works of Josephus, and even a few "offical" documents.
Whether or not the man historically known to exist was God's Messiah is a different question- but we can be at least as sure that Jesus of Nazareth existed as we can that Julius Caesar did.

"Why Invent Mohammed?" By Goldman
[conclusion:]
Why is theological clarity so important?
For several reasons.
First, the question of what Islam seeks to accomplish is of first importance. The definitive claim of the religion, if we follow Prof. Kalisch, is the Election of the Arabs to replace the Jews. Any manifest sign of Jewish election (for example, a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael) challenges the founding premise of Islam and constitutes an existential threat to the religion itself.
Second, the mechanism by which the new religion recasts the figures of Moses and Jesus is Gnostic, that is, the belief that an esoteric knowledge enables the adepts to see past the surface: underneath the Hebrew Bible and Christian Gospels lies the “true” revelation of Islam. But that is not a revelation at all, not, at least, in the sense that the giving of the Torah or the ministry of Jesus were understood to be revelations, namely, a human engagement with an infinite God. There really is no revelation at all, because Allah always remains infinitely remote and unrevealed: there is merely Gnosis, a new esoteric knowledge, a re-reading of earlier sources that transforms Moses and Jesus into Mohammed.
This makes Islam far more fragile than Judaism or Christianity. If the West chose to exploit its fragility rather than attempt to appease, engage, or reform Islam, the outcome would surprise everyone.

Much as you would with leftards, a simple examination of the goals of islam is all that's needed. Just simple quotes. Look at the societies that have embraced it, how are they doing compared to Christian nations like ours. Tally up a list of accomplishments for both, it's just a tad one-sided.
There is absolutely nothing in islam that makes you a better person. It is the exact polar-opposite of Christianity.

Yes, he did. He was also a court historian who did very thorough research. In the height of the "The New Testament was written as much as 200 years after Jesus' Death" craze, some people believed that Josephus wrote the books of Luke and Acts. No one to take seriously, mind you, but still.
I don't have my index of stuff here, but I guess I can go dig it up if you want. The point is we don't actually have very many documents at all which definitively refer to Julius Caesar (from contemporary sources, of course), but we don't doubt that he existed.

[From Live Doppler (quoted) and others. If this was previously referenced at AoSHQ, read it again.]
"In a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, Jr., 50 NASA scientists, astronauts, and engineers are speaking out against man-made global warming alarmism. NASA has pushed a pro-global warming agenda for years, perhaps because of money. According to the NASA website, “In 2004, NASA’s spending on climate science exceeded all other Federal agencies, combined. NASA spent $1.3 billion on climate science that year, out of a $1.9 billion total.” A good way to keep the money flowing over the years is to keep publishing reports that man is causing catastrophic damage."
"Dear Charlie [Mooselum Outreach Bolden, ed.],
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) refrain from including unproven remarks in public releases and websites. We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.

I still wonder why this couldn't have happened a long time ago. Killing the Shuttle with 75% percent of their useful flight time remaining was a bad thing, IMO, but if it generates the private space industry faster, then I'm all for it. It still sucks that we have to rely on the Russians for our access to space. That need not be.

Nothing like traumatizing an entire family on your way out.
An insurance adjuster for a company with whom my company did a fair amount of business committed suicide. She decided to do this by walking directly in front of a tractor trailer. There was no question it was intentional either, she left a note and there was video from a couple businesses along the street showing that she consciously stepped directly into the path of the truck. You know, it's bad enough to destroy your own family by killing yourself, but she made someone else kill her. That made me understanding the whole considering it a mortal sin thing.

Quote below from an article linked at Insty. Maybe it's "how he came to beat Hillary" but I have a slight suspicion that personality, or lack thereof, might have something to do with it.
>>Former Pensylvania Governor Ed Rendell said it would be unfair to compare ObamaÂ’s aides to ClintonÂ’s operation.
“You’re comparing them to the gold standard,” Rendell told BuzzFeed. “They’ve done a good job.”
He added, however, that he hasnÂ’t heard of officials getting Clinton-style calls from Obama at 11:30 at night to ask about local issues. That, said a former Clinton aide, is simply a product of how Obama rose to power.
“He’s not as engaged in building Democratic institutions in different states,” the consultant said. “If you think about how he came to beat Hillary and become president, he did not go through typical Democratic institutions — he ceded that to Hillary. Eventually some started to come his way. I don’t know if there’s as much of a reliance on building these operations state by state.”

puts water in kettle after gazing into it for any items but water, grabs tea bag turns off the tap, grabs now supposedly spider free cup. throws it in the trash. just.to.be.sure. makes tea in spiderless cup, adds a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of milk.

She tooted the WH line that Romney knows nothing about job creation, having been engaged only in wealth creation, and that the JEF's experience as preezy far outshines Romney's when it comes to economic sense and job creation.
That is their line and they are sticking to it. Their problem is that it does not sell. Look at the slick ads both campaigns are running and decide.

7 Reasons Why Facebook IPO Was A Bust
But they missed the most obvious reason .. the P/E.
Companies like Apple(AAPL), Intel(INTC) and Microsoft(MFST) have a P/E of 13.86, 11.10 and 10.84, while Facebook (FB) has a P/E of 72.98 @32.02. It had a P/E of 88 at the IPO offering price.
No investor in his right mind would buy anything (except perhaps a company proven to be able to convert lead to gold) with a P/E of 88.

"I could have sworn it had retractable landing gear. The whole idea was for the vehicle to be reusable."
Eventually the 1st and 2nd stages are to be recoverable by parachute like the Space Shuttle SRBs. For now the capsule lands in water and is recovered by Spacex - saw some pictures of a previous recovery last night. Eventually it will have the ability to land on land on landing gear like a flying saucer.
I loved watching the reaction of the Spacex TV babe after the capsule attained orbit. I do recall hearing that she was an actual engineer, not just a spokesbabe. She looks like a live one IYKWIMAITYD.

Apple was falling for no reason in the weeks before the FB open. I think people were dumping Apple to get a stack of cash ready to get into FB in case it took off. Tards.

My brother's best friend was in 4th grade when his father called him and his younger brother into the living room, "Kids, come in here, I have something to show you."
He then proceeded to put a shotgun in his mouth.
They turned out okay in the end (I still see D. regularly as he's a good family friend), but both struggled with substance abuse.

Damn, gun safety. You say a first grader (emotionally distraught) had open access?
Unlike adults and older children, kids in first grade are only just LEARNING responsibilities, and adjusting to school if they weren't raised in daycare.
Sad. True enough, it's not fair to make someone find your suicidal remains. But first graders don't really "get" what's fair to others being consumed with themselves at that age, just starting to "go figure".
There's a theory that to get over a trauma, forgiveness gets you over the worst. Harder done than said. Especially when it comes to forgiving yourself for perceived inadequacies to "cure" someone else's problems that lead to suicide.

Didn't I see a photo of Obama putting a medal around Buffett's neck? Didn't Buffett do what Obama accuses Bain Capital of doing? Only a whole lot more of it? And more ruthlessly? So Obama only thinks that type of business is bad when his political opponent does it. Otherwise, he'll give you a medal for it.

As plain as I beheld it then,
All silver-like and calm and bright-
We've not had stars like that again!
"And she was such a gentle thing
To birth a baby in the cold.
The barn was dark and frightening-
This new one's better than the old.
"I mind my eyes were full of tears,
For I was young, and quick distressed,
But she was less than me in years
That held a son against her breast.
"I never saw a sweeter child-
The little one, the darling one!-
I mind I told her, when he smiled
You'd know he was his mother's son.
"It's queer that I should see them so-
The time they came to Bethlehem
Was more than thirty years ago;
I've prayed that all is well with them."

Sorry, that was in poor taste given what immediately preceded it.
I have often thought that suicide is an incredibly hostile act: I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget. I will concede that most people who kill themselves are not right in the head, but if there was ever proof that depression is anger turned inward, the hostility of suicide, when you finally turn it outward, is it.

This is the fault of the republican party. It's their responsibility. Not romney's. It would be unseemly for romney to criticize buxh. If it is bush's fault, then accept responsibility. If it isn't, then prove to the American people that it isn't. Either way, the ever lazy republican party has its work cut out for it. If they don't try to explain it, when the president gets up and says "I need another term to finish what I started, look at this, this was bush's fault, look at this, this was bush's fault and look at this, this was bush's fault too. So America, you always give people a second chance, give me mine and I promise I'll fix this to your satisfaction. I'll make sure that every American is helped and has opportunity, you'll see".....Americans are pretty nice people, there is a good chance this strategy will work, incumbents always have the edge, my dad says even carter looked like he was winning until the bitter end. My dad has been saying that all these polls showing romney leading will creae a false sense of security for the republicans. He thinks this is teh democratic strategy, to make BO seem like he's losing, appear to be the incumbent underdog, then woosh, like Reagan swoop in and win....leaving the republicans to wonder with "egg on their face".
