First, because the landing on the comet was not accomplished by the US, the US lame-stream-media saw no point in giving credit where it was due ... taking glory away from the US space program that's unfortunately all tied up in knots because funding by Congress is so meager ... I'll bet republicans would prefer to out-source scientific research to the business community so as to save a few bucks.

More importantly, you've forgotten the old marketing principle ... location, location, location. The comet is nothing more that a huge frozen ice cube, the size of Manhattan, millions of miles from Earth, while the big, fat buttocks lady in just a few keystrokes away.

So there you have it ... a once in a life time thrill to satisfy one's intellect, or an every day cheap thrill so satisfy people selfish behavior.

I liked Obama probably more than I should have, but Al Gore was my favorite candidate ever. He seemed the perfect mix of intelligence and liberalism. I could imagine him struggling like I do with how cool it would be to send someone to Mars on one hand with the environmental cost of doing so on the other hand.

I like that, we could definitely make some money with www.GiantButt2016.com. We could ride around Westchester County and upstate N.Y in a sound truck like I did for Stevenson and "Kiehoffer".

I guess there's a long, sad history of anti-intellectualism in popular elections. I don't really know much about "egghead" Adlai Stevenson but darn did people just seem annoyed that Al Gore was smart and of course Obama's enemies angrily reacted to his undeniable smarts by claiming he was a "C student," and "affirmative action beneficiary" even though these same critics had just twice elected somebody who really was a C student and legacy Yale admission,

Yeah, it might be my four year old talking but maybe we should run a giant butt in 2016.

Jim Webb just announced an exploratory committee for 2016.

I see him as a man needing little additional manufacturing, maybe a little projecting is all that is necessary, I am beside myself, and declaring that this is what I meant all along---a man with some god dammed character and interest, not someone droning on and on about policy and progressivism. He's a marine, a novelist, chews tobacco, carries a pistol in his briefcase and just damn well looks the part of a man's man.

When General Clark was out there fund raising and Webb was in the last days of his campaign for Senator I lobbed in a donation far in excess of what I could afford and I'm pretty proud of it right now.

Goodbye, Hillary. My money's on Webb. I predict he will, except for the faux pas, repeat the online fundraising and upsetting of the apple cart that Dean once created.
