Move over Hubble Space Telescope, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is on orbit and providing humanity views of our Sun that have never been seen before. SDO is one of the Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC’s) premiere missions, following in the foot step’s of GSFC’s famous Hubble Space Telescope. SDO cost nearly a billion dollars, […]

You know, as a premier Democrat candidate, that you have really stepped in a smoking pile when Chris Mathews comes out and tells the entire world your not worth wasting a vote on: As I said before, Blumenthal has destroyed himself both through the years of misrepresenting his Vietnam experience, the years of not correcting […]

The one election I hoped would be the exclamation point on this year’s election fell short. This is not going to be a sure thing for November, but the tsunami rising against the Dems is not as high as one would hope. With 74% of the precincts reporting Critz is over Burns by 54% to […]

Fox News calls it – Specter loses! In what has to be the exclamation point on why dinosaurs should retire we see the young Democrat Sestak ending the long time over career of Arlen Specter, who had to run to the opposition party to try and stay in office. It was an embarrassing night for […]

As many may have noted my blogging has dropped off a bit recently. Mostly this is due to an increased cadence at work and trying to survive the Obama economic mess. But it also has to do with a realization that this country and planet are going to be suffering through months of tough times […]

The Bush administration was raked over the coals, unfairly in my opinion, for recognizing how our national security guidelines allowed terrorists free reign once inside our borders prior to 9-11, and for taking steps to correct this deadly problem.
