It's February.
Snow is racing by the window sideways.
I'm transmogrifying into a psoriatic komodo dragon.


Time for a curmudgeonly crankfest!

Candidates:
Fluoridating public water supplies with industrial waste.
Stuffing fertilizers with industrial waste.
Mandating HPV vaccines for school.
Letting coddled clueless elitists corporatize our public schools.
Spending billions on banks.

And the winner is....

SPACE INVADERS FROM PLANET X!

Now here's something for my students to chew on!

The Hubble Telescope shows us an obvious alien ship, and NASA wants us to believe it's the remnants of a recent asteroid collision.

(It would be a fun exercise to spring in science class--form hypotheses as to just what we're seeing. It wasn't until my grandfather was in his twenties that astronomers accepted that the Andromeda nebula was a separate galaxy.)

AP claims credit for the photo, but they're full of poop--
Hubble took it, I helped pay for Hubble, its our photo.
