Hold My Hand, Daddy
Why are the Republicans so afraid of having Bush and Cheney testify separately before the 9/11 Commission? Think about it: it's because they will give different answers and because Bush will provide all the smoking guns anyone could ever hope for. And because Bush is stupid and Cheney is evil. Read about it here, from the Washington Post. Imagine how much time they've spent trying to teach Bush the answers to the questions he'll face. It's probably like trying to teach Greek to your dog. The really fucked up thing is that the White House has insisted that not only do the two villains appear together, but also that no recordings are made, and that they are not under oath. What the fuck is the use then? The Bushies lie like motherfuckers all the time, so if they're not under oath they're just jerking our chain. This is ridiculous. Remember that Clinton had to testify under oath, twice, Hillary had to testify under oath, and all for a blowjob. No one died over Monica's dick-sucking technique. Bush and Cheney have lied and thousands are dead. If this doesn't piss you off, you're not an American, you're a fascist.
Gravity Probe B Launched
On April 20th NASA launched their Gravity Probe B, atop a Boeing Delta II rocket. The probe will go into polar orbit above earth and is designed to test Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. Inside the probe are 4 machined quarts gyroscopes coated in a superconductor and then chilled to near absolute zero with liquid helium. Read about it here, from Space Daily.

The gyroscopes precisely measure two effects predicted by Einstein. One, called frame dragging, posits that the revolving Earth drags time and space around with it like a spinning dancer's body causes her skirt to swirl. The other, the geodetic effect, says the Earth's mass warps local time and space like the weight of a bowling ball would dent a mattress.
Comet Linear And Comet Neat Appear In Night Sky
Two new comets, Linear and Neat, will be visible to North Americans with the aid of binoculars, reaching their grandest glow around May 26th. Read about them here, from Space Daily, and find out where and when to look.
