NASA’s calling it a comet but admit the “filamentary appearance is different from anything seen in normal comets. i only took “PH151: Intro to the Universe,” but it sure looks like a spaceship to me.

just walked around this neighborhood a couple weeks ago (heading to Willie Mae’s Scotch House for my favorite meal in all of new orleans) and it’s still pretty beat up. folks down there are pumped for this show, though. me too.

“ Politics is a strong and slow boring of hard boards. It takes both passion and perspective. Certainly all historical experience confirms the truth—that man would not have attained the possible unless time and again he had reached out for the impossible. But to do that a man must be a leader, and not only a leader but a hero as well, in a very sober sense of the word. And even those who are neither leaders nor heroes must arm themselves with that steadfastness of heart which can brave even the crumbling of all hopes. This is necessary right now, or else men will not be able to attain even that which is possible today. Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he shall not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or too base for what he wants to offer. Only he who in the face of all this can say ‘In spite of all!’ has the calling for politics. ” - Weber - Politics as a Vocation

“like a cat, like a puma, like a leopard.”

color me excited for the Adrian Beltre era. (only took me 8 minutes and 53 seconds of defensive highlights to come around.) to my mind, there’s nothing better in baseball than a master of the hot corner. and this dude’s the second coming of Brooks Robinson (or Ray Dandridge). anything at all we get from him on offense is straight gravy.
