Asking questions about what she reads is unfair, just ask poor Katie Queen of the Universe.
This will give her a world of sympathy and a great theme for her next book. Smart thinking to not read it, them there gotcha questions will be a big seller. My, my, she is so clever (o:

She’s not reading Going Rogue; it’s too long. She’s reading Going Rouge instead. More interesting, larger print, more pictures.

Since this an OT, thought I’d ask about the merchandise that can be purchased via Mudflats. I’m thinking it would be fun to have (1) table flags with either the yellow boots or Brian on it to identify a Mudflats table and (2) a flag that can hung out for the same purpose – ie: party place for local Mudflats
I’d certainly be interested in these items.
Also, I didn’t see any of Brian’s family for purchase on the site – is he, or his clones, available for trips with other Mudpups? I’m thinking for the local Mudstocks that people are putting together.
Just remembered that Shannyn is on – listening in now.
Moose are available at the Mudflats Amazon Shop – http://astore.amazon.com/mudflats-20/detail/B000CDRIX2 Singles and six-packs! AKM

There are a lot of gaps in science in this country it is overwhelming. There are a lot of people scrambling to get research going at full speed.

Thanks to the staff and management at KBYR for getting the streaming up to the high power of Shannyn Moore’s fans. It is working great.

A while back some pups were wishing for fast internet- here’s an article about plans in Finland. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/15/finland.internet.rights/index.html

The best scientists are often kept out of government because they won’t manipulate the facts. They are the very people we need out in the front because they will tell use the truth. They are blocked. Like Ivor van Heerden the professor who told them the levees in New Orleans was not going told hold and exactly why several years before it happened. They fired him.

Haber had the little boy who couldn’t see the emperor’s new clothing syndrome. I know what that is like.

Is there a reason John L. Perry isn’t arrested or at the very least under investigation for sedition? How long are we going to let these whackjobs undermine this nation? If a liberal had printed this about Bush he’d have their head on a platter first and investigate later.

This less than erudite moron has the nerve to genuflect and suggest any sort of camaraderie as if SP and Margaret Thatcher have anything in common aside from being carbon based units?
As if they were personal friends or acquaintances?
This was posted on Sarah Palin’s facebook- and is she kidding?
Why didn’t she call Margaret when she first discovered her clitoris or had her first period?
Birthday Wishes to Margaret Thatcher
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 12:59pm
I would like to extend warm birthday wishes to Margaret Thatcher today. Baroness Thatcher continues to remain a role model to many people, particularly women, around the world. Her career is a collection of “firsts.” She was the youngest female Conservative Party member to stand for election in history, she was the first woman to hold the title Leader of the Opposition, and she was the first woman to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
As Prime Minister, she took an active role in defending economic freedom and democratic ideals. Her push to privatize British industry and lower tax rates led to a substantial economic expansion in the United Kingdom. She was just as influential in foreign policy. Along with President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, Prime Minister Thatcher recognized the evil of Communism and worked tirelessly to erode the power and influence of the Soviet Union.
Her life and career serve as a blueprint for overcoming the odds and challenging the “status quo.” She started life as a grocer’s daughter from Grantham and rose to become Prime Minister – all by her own merit and hard work. I cherish the accomplishments of Margaret Thatcher and will always count her as one of my role models.

Just ‘cross-posting’ that drivel gives her too much credibility….imho.

Why is the queen missing in action, you might ask? Well, my belief is she is working on self. The best guess is she’s a little more into: me, mine, and give me and not so much into you.

#3 Sirenoftitan…loved the picture of the chair and the story of how it is rewarded. Hope I can find out more about the bard’s festival on line. Would love to read some of the poetry.
Plus I really enjoyed chatting with you last night.
Thanks for the link…
