Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely
Tuxedo Jack writes "CNN and NASA report that the space shuttle Discovery has landed safely at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Concerns for its safe return were raised when spacewalks were necessary to repair the vehicle when external components were damaged; however, the shuttle landed safely with Commander Eileen Collins at the control yoke."
hooray.
WTF you watching Fox News for? What are you a brown shirt fascist asshole!?

...does it run Linux?
While I am the last person I know to ever really complain about this or that. I am rather tired of spending everyday this past week reading about the Space Shuttle Discovery.
Everyday is a new article it seems about this or that. The most pointless to me was the article about how Discovery can't land due to clouds.
I honestly think you can beat a dead horse to death a second time. This was successfully completed by the continuing coverage of Discovery.
I think it would have been better to have reported that Discovery had some issues regarding the tiles and that Discovery landed safely. That would have been all I cared about.

I'd take spending $200 million for a project than a couple of billion a day for killing people in the Middle East.
that has grown u4 since we made the as fittingly another troubled Ofiicial GNAA irc
Wah wah. If everyone in the country stopped eating meat, the amount of biomass saved in the conversion just in this country would be enough for us to 1.) make sure everyone in this country knew where their next meal was coming from, and 2.) take a large dent out of global world hunger.
Sir, I feel seriously offended by that statement.
As chairman of the union for forces without arms I resent your remark.
I can not stress enough that the level of braveness of a individual has nothing to do with the amount or absents of limbs.
Come to think of it, Why is it called a ARMy ?
I understand you can't call it a LEGy, eventhough it seems a bit laggy now and then.

Again I'd have to agree with you.
[women] are underpaid relative to men doing the same job with the same experience
And still people hire men.. how stupid are HR people ? They can hire women doing the same work, with the same experience, and they still hire a man ?
Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.

For those of us who aren't on IM all day... what's "wb" and "ty"?

Right... and how may other pharmacies were within driving distance of that asshole? C'mon, man... One asshole does not a trend make...
Frickin' sweet! Now that medical personnel can deny care "because they feel like it", I can't wait to see... "sorry, kiddo, I know you've just been in an auto accident and a transfusion would save your life, but as a devout Jehovah's Witness, I can't countenance blood transfusions. Better luck in the next world!" Or how about "sorry, toots, but as a devout Scientologist I can't in good conscience give you your antipsychotic meds. See, Scientology teaches us that psychology is really Xenu babble E-meter El Ron blah blah. Would you like to take this free personality test?"
Or, a little more relevantly, "What do you mean, you were just viciously raped, you don't have a car or any other means of transportation, the next pharmacy is six towns over because we're in the middle of Gawd Country, and you'd like a 'morning-after pill'? You slut! You're lucky I don't set you on fire, Pakistan-style!"
But, hey, I guess since things are a lot better than they were, we can't complain. I mean, shutting up and not engaging in activism have worked in the past, hasn't it?
