Keith, Maybe this winter if you have this scope or the 12", you can shoot for the companion of Sirius, if the seeing is good.

I always like the contrast in colors of Antares and it's companion. What magnification were you using and what is your latitude.

Your Monday Morning Smile

David, the only thing that could make that better would be to have Howard Dean's 'scream' at the end. grin

Embarrassed yet?

Posted By Darian Rachal

David, It is 'interesting' that in the minds of some individuals, any negative sentiments regarding Obama are construed as "hate speech" or some type or "racism". Of course the truth is that those individuals are only trying to stifle discourse. They are truly reprehensible. sad

Just how bad can it get for Obama?

Posted By Darian Rachal

Mike, As bad as Carter was, I think LBJ with his "Great Society/War on Poverty", and his Viet Nam debacle, put him in a class by himself. cwy I do not think that Obama is 'capable' of the damage that Johnson did.

Anybody know when the Obscurity Bowl comes on? I should probably watch the Gators lose to Penn State. :S

Easy Prediction

Posted By Darian Rachal

Lee, It should be an interesting game. I guess if I had to bet, I'd go with Auburn. The Ducks are a good team. I just do not know how they'll matchup with an SEC opponent. :S

Obama-Hire more people

Posted By Darian Rachal

Mel Maki said:

Obama told business leaders to hire more people. You know they could. Also, they have to share the wealth.
Mel, When I hear statements like that I wonder if he has any conception of how capitalism or businesses actually function. He does not seem to realize that such statements actually negatively affect the prospect of business growth. Maybe he honestly thinks that 'government drives business'. I don't know, it just strikes me as just a bit odd. :S
