Florida Governator Jeb Bush was happy to have Hurricane Dennis to blame for widespread destruction this weekend. It took the spotlight off the low-key admission by the state AG office that it was dropping it's investigation into the Schiavo case. After looking at the facts the prosecutor's office grudgingly announced that there was "no evidence of wrondoing" in the allegations that Michael Schiavo had participated in his wife's mysterious collapse.
Will this put the matter to rest for the staunch conservatives who want to play God with the constitution? Hardly. These zealots are not much different than the Mullahs and Ayatollahs who want to enforce their brand of "morality" on the world.
Facts that are inconvenient are shunted to the caboose of awareness. So the Die-hards will never believe that the courts are right when they think the majority of judges voted "left".
Politically, those who cannot compromise are doomed. They have always been run out of office by a reasoned and reasonable majority. Even when they appoint judges to the highest courts, the judges are often turned to the "dark side" by the power of reasoned argument -except Scalia and Thomas, of course.
Et tu, Clooney?

Ejaculations
Clooney (see below July 5th) needs to return to this Planet. After six weeks of total silence despite the pithy and substantive issues that have been analyzed on this forum, he betakes himself from his tidy cocoon and renders for us a riddle of piddling importance.
Like we give a fiddlers fart whethera photon is a particle or a glint of God's eye. We here are concerned with things of this earth or at least this astral plane. The big bang is simply the scientist's way of saying "We haven't got a clue what happened, or when or why. We call it the big bang because we seldom get laid, so we think creation sounds like an explosion. "
What the Hubble telescope saw could easily be explained by a refracted reflection from an upstairs lavatory at Buckingham Palace for all we know. Come back to earth, Clooney.
Never mind speculating on how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Get someone to do a lap dance on your Photonic Special Purpose.

Perpetual Motion
Hey Einstein here's a poser: How can a photon traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) … for almost 14 billion years … and oscillating about 10^15 times a second ... not represent perpetual motion? All this is done with the total photon energy of only about 1/10^42 ergs (an erg is 23.9 billionths of a calorie)? (This analysis is taken from the fact that the Hubble telescope has picked up light from a far distant galaxy ... formed about the time of the big bang.)
