Quadrantids Source Discovered

linuxwrangler writes "Man has observed the annual Quadrantid meteor shower since antiquity but its source has remained unknown. Astronomer Peter Jenniskens of the SETI Institute predicted that the source would turn out to be the burnt-out core of an ancient star. Now, just in time for this year's display, the source has been discovered right where Jenniskens predicted."

He's also a Democrat.

Democrat is spelled with a 'D'. Liberal is spelled with an 'L'. The words do not look alike, nor do they mean alike. I spend a lot of time pointing that out politely to most, and viciously to some. One of my favorite things to do is get a right-winger frothing at the mouth, then ask him if he likes anything at all that is liberal. When he says no, I point out that the US Constitution is pure liberalism. That usually makes them furious, but there's a real point there. When right-wingers rant about evil liberalism, it's clear that they don't know what liberalism is, and their political spectrum was handed to them. The definition of liberalism is being re-written by those who have their own purposes.

you've already admitted that logic and reason is not the purpose of the "Uma Thurman" posts. ;)

Yep, I think you've got it surrounded.

Also, nothing personal. My service is given cheerfully to all on my freaks list. So don't take it badly if I happen to mention that you're on the side of the JACK BOOTED THUGS.
