ST. LOUIS -- Jordan Moore took the news that his beloved Budweiser could soon fall into foreign hands very personally: He decided he would scrap his plan to get the logo of the King of Beers tattooed on his right rib cage.
"I'll tell you one thing," said the 21-year-old concrete worker during his lunch break at The Brick of St. Louis bar, in the shadow of this city's storied Anheuser-Busch Cos. brewery, "if Budweiser is made by a different country, I don't drink Budweiser anymore. I'll go back to Wild Turkey." (Wild Turkey, a Kentucky bourbon, is owned by French drinks giant Pernod Ricard SA.)
Hey, Jordon. Now you'll have to get some French Turkey tattoo.
I haven't been there in about 20 years, but I'll make a mental note.

The Doomsday Scenario – A Nuclear Iran?
Accuracy in Media ^ | July 10, 2008 | KT McFarland
Throughout the Cold War, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists kept a Doomsday Clock, monitoring how close they thought the world was to catastrophic nuclear destruction, measured as ‘minutes from midnight.' This week Iran tested its first nuclear-capable, long-range missile and moved the hands of the Doomsday Clock a little closer to disaster.
How much closer? And is the Doomsday Clock on GMT?

That's rather spooky.
What amazed me about Snow was his eagerness to keep doing the Goebbels thing even to his dying breath. It's not like he stood to benefit from the criminal enterprise anymore.
He lied till he died.
They don't elect enigmas to the Oval Office.
Proof: El Fucktardo Maximo was installed in office by a 5-4 vote, garnering 50% of the female and 100% of the African-American and Italian-American voters.
That's rather spooky.

If weed'a stuck with derivatives of that model instead of digressing into the inordinately complex problem of the shuttle, we'd have a whole lot more stuff going on in orbit than we do now.
But the Stayshun!

I said along that there would be no Atwater moment for Snow.
He would continue to lie for and enable the Bush Regime till the second he died.
Sadly, I was correct.

True, but if we'd not bastardized the shuttle, or if we'd upgraded it along the way, or if we'd worked on balloon lifts for the first stage, we might have even gone further yet....

Hey, he's an elitist, you know, for saying Americans should know another language besides English.
Then again, the ones who are getting their panties in a twist over what he said are the very ones who find English a challenge.

Not so sure about that. The design constraints imposed by attaching a winged re-entry system to your booster are pretty daunting. I don't know if a balloon lift gets you very much, but I think that a jet ramp assist up the side of Mount Shasta would probably help substantially. Either way, though, ballistic re-entry is just a much lighter thing to design.
Hey, he's an elitist, you know, for saying Americans should know another language besides English.
Watching dou lobbs get all huffy and smarmy and call Obama condescending was almost too much for me - lobbs is the king of condescension! And what in hades is wrong with wanting Americans to improve themselves and their standing in relation to the rest of the freaking planet?
How much closer? And is the Doomsday Clock on GMT?
Accuracy in Media are the worst of right-wing shills, and what you cite is an excellent example.
They suggest, by mentioning the Bulletin and their Doomsday Clock, that Iran's missile test caused the Bulletin to revise the Clock, thus implying that the Bulletin recognized the seriousness of the event.
In fact, the Bulletin did no such thing. The last time the Clock was changed was for several events of substance in 2007, including a nuclear weapons test by North Korea.
AIM are a bunch of devious shits.
T Boone Pickens says that America cannot allow Canada to sell oil to China.
T Boone may not quite grasp the idea of capitalism.
Basically, once it was established that a fully reusable, practically useful single stage to orbit system is a physical impossibility, the idea of the shuttle should have been scrapped.
A lot of dough was spent on JFK's moonshot. Money that could have been put to good use elsewhere.
But by pulling that enormous stunt off, just like at then close of World War Two, we had the rest of the planet's jaw dropping at what this Nation could accomplish.
That's a hell of a lot of goodwill. And we fucking blew it.
Wait till we have our first Asian-American nominee - he or she will be completely inscrutable!

Doug | 07.12.08 - 1:45 pm |
No, Osama's Yemeni. 
Obama's step-dad is/was Indonesian, and his half sister is half-Indonesian.
His extended family tree is fascinating.

This is not something that I've thought about in a long time, so I'm seriously asking: Some of the things that the shuttle has done, like servicing the Hubble, would seem to be difficult with a capsule, so how would those things have been managed? And how will those things be managed when we go back to the capsule?
What's up with Postville? Our government destroying entire american towns again?
T Boone is not half crazy.
Of course, he is also not half sane.
Maybe 45% crazy, 45% greedy, and 10% sane.
"Same diff, propapbly. "
didn't know that, so thanks! i always associated italian 'bacon' with pancetta, and 'speck' as german bacon, not so unlike ours...so i didn't know what to expect when the wife brought home this italian stuff.
this italian stuff was as thin as prosciutto, very lean and dry, amazing complex smoke flavor. i'm hooked.

FReeper has a question for Obama:
When will the press ask the simple question that will lead to a thousand follow-ups: "BARACK OBAMA, WHO ARE YOU?"
Only de Shadow know.
I don't even think the moon landing was necessary for PR purposes. We did after all invent the airplane, motion pictures, mass production, the digital computer, the telephone, television, the transistor, atomic power, and recombinatn DNA technology. But it certainly had penache.
His extended family tree is fascinating.
Just no more cuttings from the shrub family.
"There are those in our own country, too... who today speak of the protection of country...of survival.
A decision must be made
in the life of every nation...at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then it seems that the only way to survive
is to use the means of the enemy...to rest survival upon what is expedient,
to look the other way.
The answer to that is: Survival as what?
A country isn't a rock.
It's not an extension of one's self.
It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult.
Before the people of the world..."

atablarasa
You could always put various utility and habitation modules ala Skylab on orbit, that you could then boost or retro to different orbits as necessary. The capsule is just the part that re-enters the crew. One real loss without the shuttle is that there's no easy way to re-enter bigger stuff than the crew in one piece without it, but it's not like we actually landed the Hublle in order to fix it.

Socialize the risk, privatize the profits, of course. I mean, duh.
The world stood up and took notice at the raw buying power of the US middle class.
We could put fucking enormous money, instantly, into any problem.
Splitting the atom. conquering polio, landing on the Moon.
These weren't trivial problems.

And a little Jimmy Buffett for you.
Were you born an asshole?, Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an asshole tonight.
Yes you're an A S S H O L E..., And don't you try to blame it on me.
You deserve all the credit., You're an asshole tonight.
You were an asshole yesterday., You're an asshole tonight.
And I've got a feelin', you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.
And I was talkin' to your mother
just the other night., I told her I thought you were an asshole.
She said, "Yes. I think you're right."
And all your friends are assholes,
'cause you've known them your whole life.
And somebody told me you've got an asshole for a wife.
