Listening to the faint but definite symmetrical blips in the midst of all that static was awesome. Apparently the earth is even shaking a little bit like a ball of jello but much too little for anyone to notice (as someone who lives way too close to the Yellowstone Caldera that kind of stuff makes me nervous. Of course if that puppy goes off we will all live way too close to it.)<br /><br />The experimental physicists have really been rock stars in the scientific world lately with all their particle discoveries, including the boson, and now this. Plan to enjoy it while it lasts if we don't get a Dem president and more Dems in Congress. Funding for this kind of non-creationist crap will go right out the window if we don't win at all levels in November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-53463001073479927662016-02-15T18:21:37.265-06:002016-02-15T18:21:37.265-06:00"Any Republican would undo all of that, and m..."Any Republican would undo all of that, and move sharply in the opposite direction."<br /><br />Anyone really interested in what any Republican President will do, at minimum, if they were elected just look at Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, etc. The actions of those governors are baseline policy. <br /><br />The media (the same people who discussed Nelson Mandela's "terrorism" before his body was even cold and are now 24/7 mourning the loss of our "intellectual giant" justice) will swing back to ca. 2000-2005 "We Won, You Lost. FUCK YOU!" coverage/analysis by reporting the only people complaining about cut services, poisoned water, debt, etc. will be liberals and THOSE people.
