I’m not sure how to post pictures here, but I’m hoping to direct you to a screen shot from the Tokyo power company responsible for the now melting-down mess in Japan. This obviously pre-quake page reminds me of the spin we’re getting from VY these days. Enjoy.
This, http://waspot.tumblr.com/ , will certainly get you there. This, http://waspot.tumblr.com/post/… , might get you there more quickly.
Friends, In these trying times, sometimes we need to laugh:

Has anyone else noticed that his ads are a ripoff of the UPS ads?
Like most people, I found it incomprehensible that Vermont Yankee employees did not know that underground, radiation-carrying pipes exist at Vermont Yankee. A glance at the simplest of blueprints would have revealed the pipes. More to the point: for safety, plant operators must know where radioactive material is going at all times. To believe that the lies concerning the pipes were an “oversight,” one must accept that the employees are hopelessly inept. Perhaps I am naïve, but I cannot believe that Vermont Yankee employees are this hopeless. So, why did management lie when the odds were good they would get caught?
I suspect Entergy knew about the leak before they testified. I believe they took a calculated risk in playing dumb about the pipes with hopes that the leak would not be discovered until after the relicensing process is complete-and in their favor. I’m not an engineer, but the contaminated area is large by anyone’s standards; this leak did not begin recently.
Of course, I know of no proof of this, but my theory goes a long way in explaining the laughable lies that were attempted. I can think of no other rationale.
I don’t have the legal wherewithal to pursue this, but I wish someone would file a suit (if that is what one does in this case) to see when Entergy knew about the leaks. I also wish they would close the plant now. A “little” radiation is too much.
I am happy and proud to report that I was just kicked off the new “twitter for christians” website, http://www.christianchirp.com. I suspect this was due in part to my user name being “GodsRightNut.” Perhaps it was a question I posted: “Can I be saved on the internet or does it only work on TV?” No sense of humor over there, I guess.
Interesting to note that the owner of the site is no stranger to making bucks off of believers. James L. Paris appears to have a number of fronts. He runs a financial advice page at http://www.christianmoney.com/. Here’s a website explaining how he became a believer; you can also buy his books there–http://www.whathappenedtojimparis.com/. Get some christian financial tips at http://www.jameslparis.net/. Attend one of Jim’s “Christian Financial Boot Camps” at http://www.christianinternetin… And if you just can’t get enough, go to Jimbo’s christian news and politics blog at http://jameslparis.typepad.com…

April 13, 2009 Urban Word of the Day
the insertion of one man’s sack into another person’s mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual act.
At the frat house last night, when Tim was wasted an down on the floor, he got teabagged by, like, ten guys!
Me and Jen were teabagging last night when her mom walked in. Awkward.

I hope the crudeness of this post doesn’t offend anyone. It seemed strangely apropos for Friday night.
Today is Odum’s! Happy Birthday, old man.
If this weren’t so sad, it would be funny.
OK, it’s funny.
Apparently James Simpson, candidate for Mayor running as a Green, suffers from that same syndrome as men who drive Hummers (see http://www.urbandictionary.com…

Everyone, from your family and friends to our First Family and their guests, needs to know who grew their food and how it was grown. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND VOTE! This would be great for the State of Vermont…
There is a Vermonter in the running to be the White House farmer. Please visit the website and vote for Professor John Hayden. Below the fold there’s a note from Professor Hayden.
Dear friends,
I have been nominated to be The White House Farmer. I think this is a great campaign to bring awareness to the local organic food and self-reliance movement. Take a look at the website;
http://www.whitehousefarmer.com.
I am a dark horse candidate as I was just added to the list.
This is the extent of my campaign, but I would love your vote. The polls close tomorrow, Jan 31 at midnight. Please tell your friends about this push to get an organic garden in our new president’s backyard. Yes we can… on to a victory garden in The White House!
Warm wishes,
John
