CBS: Shuttle Endeavor Blasts Off Into Night Sky
“We’re about to get an extreme home makeover. It’s an exciting day,” space station commander Mike Fincke radioed to Mission Control. “It doesn’t get better than this, my friends.”
Endeavour’s astronauts will double as kitchen and bathroom installers once they arrive at the space station Sunday, hooking up extra cooking and sleeping equipment so the space station’s crew can expand next year. They will deliver a new refrigerator as well, giving station residents much-desired cold drinks for a change.
But what the space station residents don’t know is that the Endeavour “extreme home makeover-ers” are going to take out all their ceiling fans and paint their kitchen a really ugly shade of green. Paige Davis could not be reached for comment.
CBS: Obama Wants Applicants’ Web-Posting Past
(CNET) If you want a job in an Obama administration, be prepared to disclose every blog post or comment you’ve ever written.
A nine-page questionnaire requires applicants to list — and if possible, provide copies of — all “posts or comments on blogs or other Web sites” they have ever made. Also required are “aliases” or nicknames used on those sites.
God non-God, man! Do you realize what you’re asking?! Tracking down everything I’ve ever written on the Intertubes could take years! Still, I guess it’s a step up from McCain, who’s only vaguely aware that this Internet thingy exists.
Yahoo: Obama has more threats than other Presidents-elect
One of the most popular white supremacist Web sites got more than 2,000 new members the day after the election, compared with 91 new members on Election Day, according to an AP count. [...]
It is not surprising that a black president would galvanize the white supremacist movement, said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who studies the white supremacy movement.
“The overwhelming flavor of the white supremacist world is a mix of desperation, confusion and hoping that this will somehow turn into a good thing for them,” Potok said. He said hate groups have been on the rise in the past seven years because of a common concern about immigration.
Yeah, okay.
At least the morans are nice and visible where we want them. They might as well all be wearing signs.
