Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I wouldn't doubt that the "overhead projector" is a planetarium IMAX projector. For the Chicago Science Museum. Don't know for certain, but with that pricetag... And it is pissing me off, because those sorts of things bring bodies and exposure and education and outreach.

Wanna know how much we spend producing pretty peectures that end up gracing the front page of the NYTimes and featured in your favorite scifi backdrops? Yeah, more than that. It's in NASA's budget. And hell, more than that annually on PEECTURES of space. And it employs me and a ton of other people. Those pictures help rally the public to pay my salary. Want to call me worthless?

Sorry. Issue over a cheap shot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Obama's so handsome when he smiles.

Sorry. Issue over a cheap shot.

Every time they start talking about earmarks, I get annoyed again that the place I work only got a quarter of what we were looking for last year. Although it was our first earmark, so in short: yay earmarks!

Average $1.3 billion per shuttle launch. That doesn't count the cost of the instruments and staffing to create those instrument . Nor support staff who work for years prior to launch. What the public sees? Pretty pictures and a MacArthur or Nobel fellow now and then if we're lucky.

Sorry. Again.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Same director insisted on two wolfhounds and a hawk in the first scene of King Lear.

o.O. I would like to suggest that these directors learn about the magic of this awesome little thing called "suspension of disbelief".

(animals on stage storytime!)

For one production of Annie, not only did we have Sandy (who was a big flat-coated retriever and AWESOME), but we had two other dogs for street scenes. Wrangling 3 dogs and 15 pre-teen orphans was a bitch - no pun intended. Then we used one of those dogs for Wizard of Oz (a Sheltie), but he had been traumatized enough by Annie that he would run away from the Munchkins, which led to the phrase "Toto has left the building" being uttered over the headsets on more than one occasion.

Drink everytime McCain says American workers are the best innovators.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

McCain's done. People simply aren't listening to him anymore. The audience reaction is only ever mildly positive. Obama hits the ceiling on a regular basis.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ooh! He says "NUCLEAR"!!!

Is McCain calling Brokaw "Tommy"?
