This video was made with no CGI and no animation. It is composed of a series of images captured by the Cassini space probe as it approached and passed the planet Saturn. It is pure awesomeness.

That a way, Repubs!
Seems that Dear Leader has been having some difficulty drumming up commencement speaking gigs this spring, so he held a little “jack ’em up” press conference today to try to generate a few more applications (to go with the 14 he has already received after extending the deadline for 2 more weeks). Iowahawk was there:

I just wish I didn’t feel like it was needed.

I have said before and I’m saying again, I admire your spunk in laying out the rules for people who just don’t know how to behave when they’re out in public.
#111 Timber
Oh you men. It is not “Win-Some”. Winsome is an adjective meaning “sweetly or innocently charming”. I never heard of it used as a first name before, but it is a nice name.
#109 crazy aunt I went to the early liturgy today (6:30 – ick; had an all-day meeting, so lunch was out) to get my forehead splodge of ashes applied. Turns out Fr. Horrigan has a very light touch with the ashes and I wound up with a tiny splodge. Others got the full forehead where they looked like they did… Read more »
Gotta be a way to work winning in there somehow……I’ll be back.
When Jesus comes again for His millenial reign will bob call Him a dominionist? Come to think of it, will there be any libertarians during that time?
I just got back from church, having been ashed. Of course, those lightly practicing Catholics showed up tonight in force. One of them sat there and watched as her young son CHEWED ON THE PEW in front of him. Scraping his top and bottom teeth, and then feeling the scratch marks he was making. I finally got up and walked… Read more »
“Sarge, my agenda is freedom and small/limited government.”
And a judicial system to keep the people in line when they vote wrong.

It’s easy to find pictures of Ms. Winsome Packer on Google, and she is attractive. But I wonder why she waited so long to bring charges for offenses alleged “from January 2008 to February 2010.”
I believe him when Bob says he has a prior engagement. But I’ll never understand why he so enjoys arguing here. Virtually no one agrees with him about much of anything, or even cares what he thinks or says. And yet he is back day after day for another round of it.
#98 Yes, I can. And I will. But that will have to wait until tomorrow. It’s time for pre choir practice ‘milk and cookies’ at a local watering hole. In the mean time, perhaps you could find some real evidence to support your irrational rantings. So far, you have failed to do so. Translation: I can’t unless I spend hours… Read more »
The Pride of the Democrat Party, Alcee Hastings, who is an impeached Federal Judge elected to Congress continues to make everybody proud. A former aide has sued a Florida congressman — claiming he touched her, made unwelcome sexual advances and asked her about her underwear. The lawsuit against Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) was announced Monday by the conservative legal group,… Read more »
Someone refresh my memory…..who was it that acquired the nickname Bobo in the Oiler’s organization? Was it Lad or one of his coaches?
#99 I see the point you attempt to make, and I point out that civilizations existed for many thousands of years before such narrow definitions of them came into existence and later became tools of authoritarians who wished to use governments to control everyone based on their particular supernatural beliefs. #98 Yes, I can. And I will. But that will… Read more »

I just knew Newt’s comments were directed specifically at Bobo.
Thanks for the clarification.
99 Hamous says: March 9, 2011 at 4:17 pm Let me interject with a more detailed description of Bobo’s modus operandi: Bobo (and his loose associations of like-minded individuals) want to destroy civilization as we know it. Well; As usual Bobby painted himself into a corner today. First, he says Newt is engaging in the politics of fear swhen he… Read more »
Let me interject with a more detailed description of Bobo’s modus operandi:

#92 That is correct. I’ll add that while being a minority, the dominionists enjoy political power in excess of their numbers. Yet its the secularists in the UK who actually got a law changed that denies adoption rights to devoutly religious people. Can you point us all to any laws domionists have passed in Western countries that set us on… Read more »
ABSOLUTELY RACIST AND DEMEANING – IN EVERY MEASURE
Try to imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth for an all white spelling B.
He (Berry) just had a skit where they are going to broadcast it on ESPityN, the all loser network. 🙂
No prejudice here.
Micheal Berry is talking about the first national Black spelling bee to be held in Houston.
He is ranting that it is a loser’s league because the participants are being taught they can’t compete with other kids.
I have a tendency to agree with him.
87 Bob
What Newt sayeth is no more true than what Bob sayeth.
(Lucky for us)
#92 That is correct. I’ll add that while being a minority, the dominionists enjoy political power in excess of their numbers.
Have you done the google searches I suggested? You might find them interesting.
So let me get this straight, Bobby.
You disagree with what was done in the UK, but you don’t think its as big a threat as right wing dominionists who are, as you admit, in a minority?
That right?
#89 shannon
I’m too busy crying.
#80 Simple, sometimes its interesting (and entertaining) to see who springs up to support opportunistic professional politicians. Newt may not stand a chance in 2012, but he is far from alone in his tactics.
Must be losing my touch….can’t get a laugh out of wagon man no mo.
Arrrrgh is out and OK. More tomorrow.
#86 Newt failed to substantiate that point in any way, and so did you. He boldly claimed that atheists and secularists have the goal of destroying civilization. Those are his own words.
He made that irrational, fear mongering claim to a targeted religious audience. He purposefully lied in hopes of gaining their support. He is a liar.
No, you didn’t.
Because if you did, you’d have to admit that Newt had a point.

Pyro is somewhat delicate and needed to be shielded from criticism.
#83 I think it is wrong to deny religious fundies the opportunity to help a child in need if they are otherwise qualified. I also think it is wrong to deny single people or gay/lesbian couples that opportunity. I answered your question and I did so honestly. Now, why don’t you open a google tab in your browser and look… Read more »
If a person has the means and the intent to provide for a child’s needs, their religious beliefs (or lack thereof) or their sexual orientation/marital status should not be used as a reason to deny them the opportunity. You DO have a problem with reading comprehension. Here’s the question again: Who’s more dangerous to our civilization: the folks you just… Read more »
Sarge, I answered your silly xenophobic question before you asked it. Duh. So I guess we’re not going to get an answer to the question I asked in #63. Since you seemed to have missed it, this is from my #57: If a person has the means and the intent to provide for a child’s needs, their religious beliefs (or… Read more »
Bob, Why are you getting in such a lather about Newt? That’s easily answered. Sarge, my agenda is freedom and small/limited government. Compare that to the agenda of the religious right wing dominionists (thankfully, they’re a minority) that want a large and powerful government to impose their beliefs on everyone via force of law, and mixing God with government. Its… Read more »
Bob, Why are you getting in such a lather about Newt? Do you honestly believe he has a chance of getting elected to anything? The man is becoming the modern day equivalent of Harold Stassen (Sorry Harry!!). I think it is much better to listen to Newt contradict himself into oblivion. Let Newt exercise his right to free speech and… Read more »

Sorry MHarper, misread your question. I’m on my IPhone.
So I guess we’re not going to get an answer to the question I asked in #63.
Nice playing with ya.
Middle son is in surgery, I’m in waiting room. All of y’all are way better than 2 year old magazines or daytime tv.

Oh goody, an excuse for yet another Talk Like a Pirate Day! 😀 I hope your son is soon out & about with his eyepatch.
BTW, what device are you on the internet with while sitting in a hospital?
Sarge, you are wasting my time. Newt talked about secular atheist elitists who want to destroy our civilization. You said it was a preposterous lie. Shannon provided an example. I don’t agree with the U.K. court, and I stated such. I don’t think their bad decision is proof that atheists or secularists are out to destroy civilization. You are free… Read more »
British dude is trying to set a land speed record of over 1,000mph. The car he planning to use has three engines: a 750hp Cosworth CA2010 V-8 F1 racing engine, a 13,500 (non-afterburning) Eurojet EJ200 turbofan engine , and a Falcon rocket engine. The turbofan is there to get the car up to 350mph. The rocket is intended to get… Read more »
