Ask a deeply religious Christian if he’d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don’t seem so bad lately.

Jim Harper:  Who did he mean by "we"?

"[I]f we come together and lift this nation from the depths of this crisis; if we put our people back to work and restart the engine of our prosperity; if we confront without fear the challenges of our time and summon that enduring spirit of an America that does not quit, then someday years from now our children can tell their children that this was the time when we performed, in the words that are carved into this very chamber, 'something worthy to be remembered.'"   

Substitute "politicians" for "we" - which is what  most in that room took him to mean  - and that would be worthy to be remembered.   Thing is, it's the people that do these things themselves, not politicians.

These ones are a bit higher quality than the cell phone pics from the other day. Enjoy!

Not really. Imagine my surprise when I saw it parked out in front of my house. I just had to pretend for a few minutes. It felt good.

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
