How Carter Beat ReaganPosted By Darian Rachal |
One of my fondest memories 
of the 1980 Reagan landslide was the 'stunned' expression on Dan Rather's face as the map of the US turned practically all 'red'; it was like he was in a state of shock, and I guess he probably really was. 8O
I'm hoping for an on air "double suicide" with Chris Matthews and Andrea Mitchell, this go round.

Thoughts On Existence From Old TestamentPosted By Darian Rachal |
It seems to me that this passage, written several thousand years ago, describes man's existence accurately:
"What profit has man from all the labor
which he toils at under the sun?
One generation passes and another comes,
but the world forever stays.
The sun rises and the sun goes down;
then it presses on to the place where it rises.
Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north,
the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds.
All rivers go to the sea,
yet never does the sea become full.
To the place where they go,
the rivers keep on going.
All speech is labored;
there is nothing one can say.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing
nor is the ear satisfied with hearing.
What has been, that will be;
what has been done, that will be done.
Nothing is new under the sun.
Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!"
has already existed in the ages that preceded us.
There is no remembrance of the men of old;
nor of those to come will there be any remembrance
among those who come after them."

CG-4 ProblemPosted By Darian Rachal |
I purchased a CG-4 several years ago, but have only used it a few times. Recently, while using it with a short focus 5" achromat, I noticed that the piece on the Dec. shaft where the dovetail bar attaches is just a "tiny" bit loose. This part is apparently attached to the lower section of the declination shaft by a bolt, which itself does not move. Has anyone else run across this problem with their CG-4?

Allen West At Press ConferencePosted By Darian Rachal |
This has nothing to do with last night's debate, but I think it's interesting how West has to "educate" members of the press:

3 a.m. ReflectionsPosted By Darian Rachal |
Not sure if this necessarily belongs in the Religion Forum.
Earlier this week I woke up during the night at a little after 3:00 a.m.; didn't feel like laying in bed, so I got up and sat in the living room with a night light on.
Was "reflecting" on my life and came to the realization that 'there was not one single individual, that I could think of, in the entire world, that I felt any animosity toward.'

The Future Children ProjectPosted By Darian Rachal |
You can draw your own conclusions about this pro-Obama video: http://www.futurechildrenproject.com/
I wonder how many votes this will change? You really have to wonder about people that put out something like this.
