Discovery meets Space Station Still A-OK! http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SPA...EMPLATE=DEFAULT

Dude, its not where/if he spends his money for any specific cause. It's more along the lines of if he received any money from a special interest OR foundation while he was working for the government. At least that's what I'm thinking.

All aboard the Grand Funk Railroad? They were only the second band to sell out Shea Stadium... And did it much faster than the last band to do it... The Beatles.

I don't need to go anywhere to see Rome. I watch ESPN enough.

Brian Wilson > Beatles > Beach Boys. Superband? Eagles. Kiss. Guns N Roses. Nirvana. Foo Fighters. Stone Temple Pilots. REM. Pearl Jam, Jackson 5. Supergroups? Velvet Revolver, Audioslave...

But necessary. We are entrusting this person to a lifetime position of determining what is or isn't acceptable in our society of law. It's not too much to ask that the Senate, who determines whether or not to confirm him, can get access to files from when he worked for the government. Or get to see his tax returns to ensure no conflicts of interest.

In the context of the Skyline, I think it would be a step forward.

You take the good, you take the bad. You take em both and there you have... The Facts of Life... Cause the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you, may not be right for some.... Diff'rent Strokes we got Diff'rent Strokes.

Here's the link to the story. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...2601879_pf.html

I don't know if this is a sign that Roberts has something to hide or what... But... The White House will now withhold Roberts tax records. That's a break from tradition. If this guy is a good guy - which he may very well be - why would you withhold documentation that every other nominee has provided?

I think it would definitely make for a very interesting addition to the Chicago Skyline. It would definitely make it better, not worse.

I find his show quite refreshing. He covers actual news... and not 20 minutes of "It's Hot in July."

That is a high falutin word for her. I say: Ghostwriter.

Weird how that happens, that these super tall buildings always seem to get built just before the occupancy rate in downtown offices collapse? WTC NYC had the same issues.

Slow down... let's take this One Day at a Time.

They noticed that hole early in the mission last time and chose to do nothing. So I thought anyways.

Inappropriate snarking opportunity passed on. Just so you know. Turns out I do have standards. Who knew? Seriously though, glad she got the hell out.

That happened once at a little league baseball game in Illinois when I was 15. It was partly cloudy and the nearest rain or storm was 20 or so miles away and some kid batting at the game got struck by lightning. I remember Carol Marin telling me all about it...

Yeah the Hancock and Sears Spires were built to be able to send radio and TV signals out over the metroland. Hate to be the guy to change the lightbulbs on top though.

I would argue that the most balanced journalists around on Cable TV today - despite any personal biases are: Keith Olbermann, and very sadly - Jon Stewart.

Bad way to start a day. Blowout on the Garden State Parkway.

I can't support that. If they wanna search for bombs, I'm cool for that. Anything else - not cool. I think that's reasonable.

I'm not really sure where I stand on this particular action. I think the random searches aren't that intrusive. It's one thing to randomly search someone on the street. It's another to use a facility. Public transportation IS a facility. The question is, if they find pot - will they let it go? If they're looking for bombs, the search oughta be limited to bombs I think. I'm uncomfortable with them using a random search for any other reason. We live in a free society and that entails an element of risk. Why you don't see the panic in London that you see elsewhere is that this is a risk that they have lived with for decades. If you'd ever been on the Underground - you would have noticed that there were no trashcans. Because they adapted from IRA bombs. They've accepted the fact that if someone wants to kill them, they're probably going to get hit in some way or fashion. They might do all they can to prevent them, but they won't sacrifice their own rights to make sure that it doesn't happen. The same can be said of the Germans, French and Spanish. And its a lesson we should probably learn too.

Sorry to hear about that bud.
