Moron Wiserbud Interviews Two American Astronauts in Space
— Dave in Texas

Longtime moron Wiserbud interviewed a couple of American astronauts live on the International Space Station today. Pretty cool. H2 Splitter Roamingfirehydrant hooked him up for his radio show today. The Wiserbud part of this video is just under ten minutes, the rest is another radio personality interviewing them.

I like how they hand the mic to each other in zero gravity. Good interview wiserbud, particularly editing out the delay stuff. Moving you to the "kill later" list.

@miriaf, rocket surgeon.
@Wisermeany, dork radio guy
@astroRM Astronaut Rick Mastracchio
@astroillini Astronaut Col. Mike Hopkins, USAF

16 How much money is wasted on the space program? Astronauts are the ultimate less than one percent, and tax money that could be redistributed for social and economic justice is wasted just so a bunch of military test pilots can hang out in space and shoot selfies. The only smart thing Richard Nixon ever did was stop the imperialist planting of our flag on the moon so the money could be spent on Earth where it was needed.

And yeah... he is a real local hero. I was extremely lucky to get him for my show. The other hosts have been trying to get an interview with him from space (they have had him on the station while he was on the ground).

55 ICYMI

The Fed's concern over stoners finance's is a puzzler considering that Ol' "I do what I want" can erase Marijuana from the drug list with the stroke of his pen (or maybe just a phone call to Eric).

Well fear not, it's unmitigated greed motivating them.

They rightly fear that if they do not provide some means for the legalized pot business men and women to bank their funds and secure themselves from robbery or burglary (and the attendant risk of death and dismemberment) they will revert to the current cash only model (something difficult to regulate and thus tax as all cash businesses are) and they will lose revenue.

They still can't seem to find the guts to give the banks guys a safe harbor though in their new improved regulations and thus the bankers are leery about diving in just yet.

Once more the gang who couldn't shoot straight, doesn't.

It gets so hot on the GA coast during summer that I have to shower and change at least twice, sometimes 3 times, to remain "decent." A walk from the air conditioned house to the garage will soak me.

Nice. I like it too.

Snow is sort of 'both a blessing and a curse'...

It's beautiful when it's coming down, with a magical softness that blankets everything...but dealing with getting around after a heavy accumulation can be a big drag.

103 Grammie, I don't take care of my brother except mentally because he is in Maine & I am in Massachusetts. You're right about me not being well this winter, I usually get bursts of energy & start vacuuming late at night. I have barely stayed awake this week to post on ONT. It won't take long to wash floor, it is white & everything shows on it. I will vacuum today & do floor tomorrow. I do work way too late. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, unless we have blizzard Jack Straw is having. My stylist lives in NH & only works at shop on Thursdays, her husband is in SSDI & she has to have full time job for insurance for herself & kids. She didn't work at shop Thursday & does hair 3 hours on Sunday afternoon. It is snowing lightly here. I watched & loved Manchurian Candidate early this afternoon. I never saw it. Thank you, Grammie!

I am at least an Xtian in theory. Also attended every service at the Synagogue here the the late Miss Emily played for- she was their organist and music director.

I don't give a damn what "teh gheys" do as long as it involves consenting adults only and they don't drag kids into it.

My closest neighbors since 1987 until they "downsized" from a huge Victorian behind me to an apartment down Union street?

A pair of women "partners." They were and are very nice people. Not like the creeps you see on TV. Quiet, kept to themselves- but would do anything to help you if you asked.

111 Snow changes the quality of sound. I always enjoy that.

We had clearing yesterday after all the snow Thursday and Thursday night. As I was driving home, the moon rose above the horizon, full and bright and very big. Very nice.

Nothing but cloud cover today so there is no chance of seeing it tonight.

117 16 How much money is wasted on the space program? Astronauts are the ultimate less than one percent, and tax money that could be redistributed for social and economic justice is wasted just so a bunch of military test pilots can hang out in space and shoot selfies. The only smart thing Richard Nixon ever did was stop the imperialist planting of our flag on the moon so the money could be spent on Earth where it was needed.

122 111 Snow changes the quality of sound. I always enjoy that. One of the coolest things I will always remember is walking down the middle of Third Ave and 65th in NYC and seeing no one, no cars, nothing but snow. Utter quiet in the middle of the city. Unreal. Couldn't even find a bar open for 10 blocks.

123 Ok, I got a New England style hot dog bun pan a few weeks ago. I just baked my third batch in the pan, too much dough this time. I'm tweaking the amount of dough to put into the pan. The first two times I didn't put in enough. Does anyone else have a dog that will literally punch them in the shin, she's short, for a piece of bread every morning? She knows what slicing bread sounds like, runs over and starts to "punch" you with her nose, hard, and "tells you" that she wants her piece, and now!

The Border Collie I inherited from my Dead Wife is a "poker," too. And a "leaner"-- when I drive him he stands on the center console ( On a plywood plate I made for him to stand on.... )

...and leans into me. I've been told that is a "dog hug."

Took me a second to figure out you had switched to real dogs.

Sorry, no...my doggeh doesn't get excited over bread.

Auto-correct hates me.

For example:

Whenever I type lower-case "I" for italics tags, it changes it to an upper-case "I"...but at least pixy allows it to still work.

If they haven't started 'waking up' yet...then they should be okay.

We get warm days in Jan. and Feb. here, which causes things to start waking up too early...then we always get more cold temps afterward, which is what has killed some of my rose bushes in the past.

It's not too expensive. http://russianstandardvodka.com/ (You may have to enter a birth year showing that you are over 21, or else you get redirected to some nanny site.) I like my whiskey American (usually Jim Beam or Bulleitt) and my vodka Russian. What a world, where I can have both.
