Rod, since you know so much about the Tea Party folk, maybe you can help me out.

Reports say the Washington attendance was in the ballpark of 100,000 or more, but I can't find any reports of weekend arrests of all those violent anarchist rightwing protestors. Surely such a dangerous crowd would have seen numerous arrests? I can't find any reports of broken windows, overturned cars, or massive post-demonstration litter either.

Help me out here! Such dangerous folk must have made quite a mess, but all I can find is anecdotal reports by capital police and park service that there were no arrests and a well-behaved crowd!

Congrats to you and yer wife Tony. Great news!

"Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.

The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but also doctors' own lobby — the powerful American Medical Association — both of which suggest the medical profession is behind the proposed overhaul."

"The AMA, in fact, represents approximately 18% of physicians and has been hit with a number of defections by members opposed to the AMA's support of Democrats' proposed health care overhaul.

Four of nine doctors, or 45%, said they "would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement" if Congress passes the plan the Democratic majority and White House have in mind.

More than 800,000 doctors were practicing in 2006, the government says. Projecting the poll's finding onto that population, 360,000 doctors would consider quitting."

"Obama, in an appearance on ABC, said he backed an investigation into the community organizing group after some of its employees were videotaped offering tax advice to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute."

So much for dancing with those that brung ya.

Fast forward to 3:20 if you have a short attention span.

Both ACORN and SEIU were founded by the Rathke brothers. They are 'joined at the hip' organizations.

This one is interesting--

Will BHO eventually have to throw SEIU under the bus also?

If so, what new community organizing group shall arise in the next three years to function as a conduit for Soros' money in the 2012 election? They better get busy!

When a knife-ban does not eliminate violence, the next step is to ban all pipes, sticks, walking canes, lumber, firewood, cricket bats, and hammers. Also pens and pencils, because those are deadly weapons when expertly used as daggars.

Also need to ban paper weights, rocks, bricks, loose pieces of asphalt, and frozen legs of mutton. Actually, furniture makes too good a weapon when crashed over a noggin, so all furniture has to go except pieces too heavy to lift, or furniture that is bolted down with adult-resistant locked bolts.

I guess all implements and furniture eventually need to be made of NERF foam, as well as highways, bridges, and autos. Then violence will finally become obsolete except for fists, feet, choke grips, head-butts, etc. Maybe people need to be made of NERF foam as well.

Thanks Ron. He's an impressive fellow.

Can these guys show 'facial expressions' or do you reckon he always looks like that? If on a human, that is a similar expression to old photos of Jim Morrison or Charlie Manson. Have also seen this look on parents and teachers if a child is misbehaving in public .

The latest report found that “the Energy Department failed in many cases to use controls on heating, ventilation and air conditioning that are a primary means of conserving energy during non-working hours,” as Dow Jones Newswires put it. That could have cost the DOE more than $11 million."

A million here, a million there. Chump change! Just make the unruly children behave and we'll be OK.

Eagleburger characterized BHO's foreign policy as Amateur Hour, and expressed pity for Hillary having to put up with such nonsense.

Hi Itz

I only see out of one eye, so it is not a problem with both eyes open.

You can buy comfortable eyepatches at the Walmart pharmacy eyecare rack for $1.79. Might make your 'two eyes open' viewing even less distracting... I wear an eyepatch most days to protect the bad cornea. Such an eyepatch can last weeks even with daily use if one takes care of it, so for occasional astronomy it ought to last a long time.

I spray an eyepatch lightly with alcohol every time I take it off to prevent turning the eyepatch into a bacteria science project. However if you really soak it with alcohol, the eyepatch gets wrinkles and doesn't last long.

Perhaps a unique perception, but I find the 'space window' effect is more impressive, and the AFOV seems wider, if I fold down or remove the eyepiece rubber eyeguard. Unfortunately some eyepieces make it difficult to maintain good eye position without the eyeguard, and is not so practical with such eyepieces.
