Space Shuttle Endeavor Lands at Edwards

The Space Shuttle Endeavor Landed at Edwards AFB out in the Antelope Valley north of LA for the next to the last time - ever.  Tomorrow is it schedule to do a "tour of California" like flying to cities up north before returning to LA International.  There after a few weeks it will go by street to the Exposition Park Science Museum.  Of course in that time they'll have time to cut down those two hundred big trees in Inglewood that there is so much contraversy about.  People ask, "why can't they just take the wings off?"  They say they'll plant two new trees for every one they remove, which will be of some conselation - in another fifteen or twenty years.  It's a piece of "space history".

Tomorrow the I Phone V goes on sale at eight o clock in the morning.  I don't see how they can allow lawn chairs and even lamps and generators in these store lines.  Of course Loretta has her little chair thing that she sits in in Money Draw line, before taking forever once she gets inside.  The I Phone V of course will be your eight megabit screen.  But according to Leo Le Port this is no improvement over the latest release out now, which is news to me.  I thought the 8 meg screen was thee major breakthrough of the I Phone V.  Leo only says "The screen will be longer and it will contain one more row of icons".  The funny thing is, though you can walk into any store and buy one tomorrow, those with pre orders have been told they won't get delivery on their I Phones for several weeks.

In the Battle of the Videos, now there is a "contraversial new" Video heralded by FOX news, that is seemingly less than a minute in length- - the whole thing is just a little longer but FOX edited out all the parts where the President seems to modify or contradict the part FOX wants highlighted about a "re-allocation or redistribution of government resource funds".  This photo is just another desperate move on the part of FOX news to set up a "false equivelency" situation.  Meanwhile You tube won their right to keep that anti Islamic video up because the actress who brought a court suit and asked for an injunction to take the video down, was denied on several constitutional grounds.  Now of course there is that sickening new cartoon thing in France that shows the Prophet in various states of undress.  Of course this time the protests throughout the World will be aimed at France and not us.  In terms of the political race itself, Ed Schultz gave a great little pep talk this morning on his show about how poorly Mitt Romney is doing.  However I would feel a whole lot better if President Obama actually opened up a double digit lead on Romney.  As long as Romney is within striking range he is a threat.  There is talk that funds may be reallocated away from Mitt Romney if the Presidential race looks hopeless and instead put into various Senate and House races, which could bode even worse for the Democrats than if that hadn't happened.  Of course with each new week brings another bombshell of a news story.

I'd like to give my own blogs a plug in saying that you should really read old postings and previous months.  In fact most of 2011's blogs are very good, too.  You should read those, but at least try and read all the postings of the past twelve months at least.  Tonight we had meat balls with tomato sauce over tube pasta, and Dora made it around the room with seconds.  We had strawberry ice cream for desert.  Then I had a second meal from Olivia in this room.  She had a hamburger for me where about a third of it had been sliced off, and more than one bag's worth of French fries.  I had a little lemon lime to drink, and later I had one piece of chocolate and a mini cherry tart.  I need to gain all the weight I can, you know.  My muscles are looking- - - shriveled or something.  I don't see why every man shouldn't take a testosterone supplement once he gets over fifty, in this day and age.  It's a cure all for just about everything that ails a man.  I'd like to do it.  The down side is an increased rate of prostate cancer, which could be really bad of course, because your dick could never be any firmer than a wet noodle no matter the stimulation, which would be too horrifying to contemplate.
