Sun Produces Strongest Flare Ever Recorded

idontneedanickname writes "The BBC is reporting about the newest flare unleashed by the sun. According to NASA's SOHO website, "Today word came from the SEC that their best estimate was X28. We have a new number 1 X-ray flare for the record books." As usual there are magnificent images to be admired." This one's not headed straight for us...

Democrats blame Bush's environmental policies for

[blogx]

Daschle on the house floor today said obviously this past week's events of four of the strongest solar flares ever recorded are a direct result of the Bush administration's environmental policies and if a Democrat was in the White house this would have never occurred. Daschle went onto to say looking at the long term data clearly shows most of these tragic solar events occur during a Republican administration and that it's damn time that the American people don't allow for a repeat of these events to reoccur under the Bush administration and not be distract by Iraq. When asked for comment, the white house spokesman said, "What's the problem, the president and the first lady are out in the back lawn enjoying the auroras as we speak and that if Daschle wants to use this as an election time issue, I'll have the RNC raise the issue on why there are 5 times as many earthquakes under the Democrat watch".... reports blogx.org

I AM!

The SUV [I prefer ASS-U-V] craze that has hit America and that's now being exported around the world is an unsustainable manifestaion of our arrogant and selfish 'bigger is better/fuck everybody else on the planet 'cause I wanna big honkin' vehicle so I can cart all of my earthly posessions with me to the beach on the weekend and get a whompin' 8 MPG-
