(Why isn't this "Goodbye..." Part 2C or "...atmospherics..." Part 3 ? Damn it!!!

 "Why such Great Anger in those Heavenly Minds"? Most of what is

 composed by Citizen Journalist need not by read sequentially, including,

 multi-part articles and "Action Chain Letters."

 Speaking of "Action Chain Letters" - they are updated when necessary - -

 meant to be used during 2011; not out-of-date - we swear to NASA!

(This creation will be extremely offensive to the 20% of 'Americans' who identify

themselves as liberals; if not, we haven't done our job. Bonus: it might upset

on Mondays and/or Wednesdays. Disabled and homebound; the workload

is becoming too heavy"...Richard DePersio: I don't think that I have a choice

words:

               Your profession is what you are put here on earth to do

                                                -Vincent van Gogh

 

As is our wont, we start off with the cosmos (which means world) and, then, we

address ourselves to the world...

 

NASA has discerned that there is 100X more water in the moon's mantle than

previously thought and that the water-ice in craters around the north and south poles

are the result of eruptions billions of years ago and not deposited by meteors and

comets as previously thought. This subjects to question the consensus view of

scientists that a Mars-sized objecte hit earth knocking of material - the debris

which coalesced to form a nearly dry moon (virtually all water disappearing as a

result of evaporation caused by the heat generated by the impact). These conclusions

were drawn from re-examining rocks brought back by Apollo 17 - the last moon landing

and the only one to have a scientist-astronaut, geologist Harrison Schmitt (All the

Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts were test pilots and engineers - the term

scientist-astronaut was also employed for the three SkyLab Space Station missions

which followed Apollo; the term was changed to mission specialist for space shuttle,

and later, International Space Station missions).

       Speaking of Harrison, he recently suggested that most of NASA's responsibilities

be turned over to a new agency which he calls "National Space Exploration Agency" in

order to reinvigorate to the level of the 1960's. His proposal isn't necessary now that

Obama's efforts to destroy NASA have been defeated (this isn't the part of the article

that will offend; if it does - great!). NASA will build on Constellation Program R & D and

construct a heavy-lifter, a super-heavy lifter and Orion-like craft for missions well beyond

earth-orbit.

       Speaking of moon water, there are a growing number of republicans and democrats

too who want to over rule Obama and reinstate the Return-to-the-Moon Project that he

canceled. Water might be used to drink. We could spit it into H & O: H as a fuel to go

beyond the moon and O to breath; a lot of money saved if we didn't have to carry a lot

of water to the moon and beyond from the high gravitational field of the earth. NASA

and the moon can play a vital role in solving our energy crisis in a cost-effective manner -

See: "ATBTC," Action Chain Letters 4, 5, 9, 10.

 

On the lighter side: "I must reluctantly observe that two causes, the

abbreviation of time, and the failure of hope, will always tinge with a

browner shade the evening of life." -Edward Gibbon

 

Take aim and fire... Let's offend by speaking the truth and using the facts...There are

18 liberal and moderate-liberal states - all in the NE and on the west coast, including,

N.Y. and California; 28 conservative and moderate-conservative states; four - Florida,

Ohio, Michigan and New Mexico - moderate or swing states. Other than the little

states of Vermont and Massachusetts, New York and California are the most

liberal states in the union. Most Americans can't relate to the people, the structures

and the behavior of New York City and Los Angeles, including, Hollywood; they

wonder if these strange places are part of the same country as theirs. Yet, it is the

thoughts and images generated in these places that produce the picture of (Be patient;

will offend when the mood is right; where were we?)

America that most people in foreign countries have: a greedy form of capitalism,

immorality and a blatant disregard of the needy. Further, liberals control the major

T.V. networks, all the major movie studios and record companies, most of the major

newspapers, public elementary and high schools, public and private colleges.  As

strange kind of liberalism when it comes to the entertainment industry: liberals on

foreign policy and defense, lib on social issues, lib on domestic issues but what about

the domestic area known as economics? They are capitalists who decry and deplore

capitalism while they reap its rewards: hypocrites! Most democrats in congress are

libs while most grass-roots dems are mod-libs. Only 20% of Americans identify

themselves as libs but they control virtually everything, don't truly represent their

constituents, produce the image that the world has of us.

       Recently, Mayor Bloomberg of N.Y. (registered Independent) offered to endorse

and contribute $$$s to the campaigns of republicans in the State Legislature who

voted in favor of gay marriage. Isn't it a crime to offer to buy votes? (Couldn't he have

the decency to do it surreptitiously like others and not as many as you think).

Momentarily, we will tell the truth about homos: moderates and undecided will

read with on open mind; libs never - even when facts are staring them in the face!

 

We interrupt this article for an A.D.D. Moment sponsored by Adderall and Maxwell House

Coffee: "Bureaucracy...One must bear in mind that the expansion of federal

            activity is a form of eating for politicians."

            "Capitalism...'The trouble with socialism,' a European observer once

            remarked, is socialism. The trouble with capitalism is capitalists.'"

            "The salient economic assumptions of liberalism are socialist."

Were these remarks made over the past few years?...Some things never change...

"Quotations from Chairman Bill by the late Bill Buckley (he was alive when he made them;

Pocket Book, 1966). The statements were uttered, 1964-66...The more things change,

the more them remain the same is an ol' saw this is still valid.

 

Recently, in Oakland (California, naturally), guest speakers addressed fourth

graders telling them that gender is in your head and heart; it is alright for a boy

to pretend to be a girl as often as he chooses or to choose to be of no gender;

ditto, girls. Boys can want to kiss and want to marry boys and dress like girls; the

converse for girls. It all likely hood these immoral lies will be taught throughout

the state. There's a saying: So goes California, so goes the rest of the country!
Libs claim that they're doing it to reduce bullying. Children never had a

problem with gender-identification until libs created one. Conservatives

maintain that they are trying to indoctrinate young minds into liberalism.

Liberal social experimentation is a dangerous thing, especially, when it

come to impressionable minds. It makes us want to upchuck!

      We ask you: Does what happens in New York and California reflect

your views and beliefs? We classified states. When individuals are only

given three options, they choose: 40% identify themselves as conservatives;

30% moderates; 20% liberals; 10% out-to-lunch.

      Homosexuality is immoral according to the Bible and the Dalai Lama

(RD: Don't do it. CJ: We got to tell it like it is. RD: Must we do it again?

Think of the repercussions. BB: Go for it!). Do the research. The koran

promotes killing infidels: Jews, Christians, including, gays. Evil consequences

should befall those who don't moon the moon-god! (The 'muslim brotherhood'

aiding and abetted the nazis during WW2, they give financial support to

hamas and hezbollah {lower-case letters intentional} and so-called

moderate mosques in the U.S. {moderate muslim myth - nice alliteration,

if we do say so ourselves}. Perhaps, there is change afoot: the Muslim youth;

we shall see).

       By the way, they are bad mutations in evolutionary terms. The field of

sociobiology is a relatively new field having had its genesis in the 1950's.

You can be born with a strong nasty gene or criminal gene or home gene

and your likely to grow up to be nasty or criminal or homo. Most

psychologists, sociologists and evolutionary biologists want to make

excuses for bad behavior: they shouldn't be punished or condemned

for they can't help being what they are. Others harbor the view that

genes generate dispositions: if you're born with a strong greedy gene,

nurture and environment will determine if it will fully manifest itself.

What utter nonsense. Why not just say that it is environment/upbringing

which determines: everything that we learned in the order that we

learned it; everything that we experienced in the order that we

experienced it; everyone we knew, especially, parents. Some

homos choose to be such; others are homos because of the damaging

parental-style of one or both parents; others, as a result of, a

traumatic experience early in life. The limp-of-wrist can be cured if that

consciously and subconsciously so wish it.

      Tell us that you like boys instead of girls; that you like to wear

girl's clothes; that you like to be spanked or tied-up - and, we will

tease you - - you asked for it. Get back in the closet with your

perversions and don't flaunt it in front of us and our children! Do

whatever you damn please in your genes behind closed doors. Only

5% of the population is freak!!!

          'But the longer I live on this Crumpetty Tree

           The plainer than ever it seems to me

           That very few people come this way

           And that life on the whole is far from gay!'

                                -Edward Lear

Gay as in abnormal, immoral and unnatural! Please check out "Action

Chain Letter 6" at groups.google.com/group/newfederalism - as valid

as ever.

In the right; not in the behind!

                                  Abbreviated title: "GOODBYE*..."

                                       by Richard DePersio

 

RD: "We're back"...Citizen Journalist: "We sure are"...RD: "Let's get to it"...

CJ: "It's nearly impossible for me to disagree with you."

Where were we?...We remember: As always, it is our wont to commence with

cosmos (meaning world) and then cover the world.

 

Back to the Future...Futurists come from many disciplines, especially,

sociology, science-fiction, physics. The genesis of the field can be traced

back to the late 1960's and one of its pioneers was sociologist Alvin Toffler.

He stated in "Future Shock" (1970, Bantam Book), "...In stagnant societies

there is a deep psychological need for novelty and stimulation. In a

accelerative society, the need may well be for the preservation of

certain continuities...ritual...surrounding birth, death, puberty, marriage,

and so on-helped individuals in primitive societies  to re-establish

equilibrium after some major adaptive event had taken place."

Even in our secularized urban society ritual continues in the "...

appearances of our heads of state, in religion, in business." The

exchange of Christmas cards "...is an economic monument to the

society's continuing need for some semblance of ritual."

     Your asking: "What does this have to do with cosmos?" CJ: "Be patient.

We're getting to it."

     "In the future, we can anticipate greater variety in the kinds of

rituals adhered to in family life." He talks about a nutty family who

does a secular grace thanking John Sebastian Bach, husbands and

waves speak of "our song" (soon husband and husband; we type while

limp of wrist). "...we need to mark off certain regularities for

preservation...we may even need to manufacture ritual." Less we lose

our heads.

     "In the United States, the arrival of spring is marked for most urban

dwellers not by the sudden greenness-but by the opening of the

baseball season...What ever happens in the stock market, or to

world politics, or to family life, the American League and

National League run through their expected motions."

     "As leisure increases, we have the opportunity to introduce

additional stability points and rituals into the society, such as

new holidays, pageants, and games...could...provide a backdrop

of continuity in everyday life, but serve to integrate societies,

and cushion them somewhat against the fragmenting impact

of super-industrialization...holidays to honor Galileo or Mozart,

Einstein or Ce'zanne." There is a method to our apparent madness.

You've been waiting with bated breath:

     "We might create a global pageantry based on man's conquest

of space...Even now the succession of space launches and capsule

retrievals is beginning to take on a kind of ritual dramatic pattern...

transfixed as the countdown begins...for a fleeting instant, they

share a realization of the oneness of humanity and its potential

competence in the face of the universe...by regulating such events

and by greatly adding to the pageantry that surrounds them, we

can weave them into the ritual framework of the new society and

use them as sanity-preserving points of temporal reference.

Certainly, July 20, the day Astronaut Armstrong took "one small

step for man" and "one giant leap for mankind," ought to be made

into an annual global celebration of the unity of man." (Due to an

editorial-demon the end of this section appears at the end!).

 

An A.D.D.ed Aside sponsored by Carnation Evaporated Milk:

Frontal Lobe: Controls many functions, including, movement,

MEMORY, language, SOCIAL BEHAVIOR, DECISION MAKING,

emotion and PERSONALITY.

 

Where were we? What distracted us? What? Our brain! Bad brain! And,

 Baloney - that our personality is in the genes. It's environment not

preprogramming. Damn it! And, go to hell!

Not many people exchange Christmas cards anymore, do they?

Back to the recent past: "...atmospheric..." Part One of this article, we

discussed the role of the fed gov and the limits thereof - "Enumerated

Powers" and "Amendment 10" in the Bill of Rights - at www.rickcmtsite.

blogspot.com and, if you had a technical problem with it, /group/

rickcosmos-eclectic. While our Founding Fathers didn't specify aeronautics

and astronautics, not even Ben, clearly NASA is a function that can

only be done, and only be done well, at the federal level and would

receive the blessing of George, John, Tom, Jim and the rest of the

Revolutionary gang.

       President Nixon called it the "Greatest day since the Creation."

humans working on a heavenly/celestial body for the first time. And, all

it merits is one of those semi-official national holidays called "Space Day"!

No wonder, we've lost our sanity! It should be a real full-fledged national

holiday observed and celebrated in home, bars and public places like

parks. Flags should be waving coupled with fireworks displays. We can go

with one of two options: 1) Celebrate the day of the moon landing: Apollo 11

Day or 2) with can pull out all the stops and go with Apollos' Day: Independence

from the bound of earth's gravity and Lee Independence Day (the day that the Lee

resolution was approved by the Second Continental Congress declaring our

 independence; it was on this day that John Adams wrote to his wife and

said that it - July 3 - should be celebrated every year with parties and

fireworks. July 3: Two Independence's and July 4: Verbal approval of the

Declaration of Independence ratified with a few members signing, including,

the President of the Second Continental Congress, John Hancock. Two

days of super-sized PATRIOTISM!!!

 

It's time for a pleasant break:

                           "I praised the myrtle and the rose at sunrise

                            in their beauty lyings,

                            I praised them at the start of the short day's close,

                            And both were dying."

                                               -Christina Rosetti, Age 7

 

As our regular readers know, we have compiled a list of 17 Constitutional

Crimes against Obama (and 3 borderline charges against President Bush).

New readers, please check out "A Bad Case of Treason" located at /group/

newfederalism, we believe - which contains most of the infractions. It

will give the House a leg up should they choose to inp....investigate.

We are confidant that moderates, not libs, will grant our list a fair hearing.

     There are allegations that Obama has violated the "War Powers Act."

It doesn't make our list. Virtually all presidents since and including

Nixon have considered it unconstitutional - as do we.

     We believe that our Founding Daddy's meant for the President as

Commander-in-Chief to initiate war or respond to an attack or provocation

or a potential threat immediately and not have to secure a "Declaration of

War" from congress unless, the president, in his judgement felt that

time permitted. Check-and-balances: The president has funds to

conduct war for a limited period of time; congress can cut off funds

after the war has commenced due to their power of the purse. It

isn't likely that it would undermine the president but it reserves

that right.

 

We supported the war in Afghanistan. We have 100,000 troops there,

we should reduce that number to 45,000 over the next three years

(not ironclad; subject to change). Such a plan shouldn't be released

publicly as the enemy would make use of such knowledge. Efforts

to help Afghanistan create a homegrown democracy, built its

infrastructure, train its security forces and humanitarian aid should

stop in three - if possible, two - years - at which time the useless

U.N. can be of minimum value to that country. We need three U.S. bases

to continue to capture and kill the member of al-Qauda and Taliban

and more. One base in the south, one base at the border with Iran

(we might have to surgically remove their nuclear facilities or

aid those seeking freedom in Iran - based on past performance

these are two things Obama is unlikely to do), one near NW Pakistan

(the enemy is located there and in the south).

     Cut off funds immediately to Pakistan. We hear you: "You can't

do that, Pakistan is our main entrance and exit points of troops

and supplies to Afghanistan."

     Our best friends in the world: 1) U.K.; 2) Israel (U.K. and Israel

have been offended and mistreated by the little 'o'); 3) Australia;

4) Japan; 5) India; 6) Canada; 7) Columbia; 8) Poland; 9) Czech

Republic; 10) Brazil.

     Pakistan is terrified of a nuclear attack from India (both are

nuke nations) - they're just being paranoid. We should capitalize on

it. We asked a Pakistani about Kashmir which is occupied by

Pakistan (50%), India (40%), China (10%) and he told us that he

didn't understand dispute because the area has no oil, natural

gas, coal, gold, silver, etc. The farmland is very poor in this

mountainous region. Let India have it. The U.S. should occupy a

portion of NW Pakistan along with India. Our third base would be

in NE Afghanistan/NW Pakistan; India would establish a base in NW
Pakistan. So what if Afghanistan and Pakistan object. We are

waging a war against terror; we must do everything within our power

to protect the U.S. and our true friends from evil muslims. We

would have access to Afghanistan from these bases plus over flights

of Pakistan from India. Muslim Pakistan is our enemy. We are

better with Indian intelligence on Southern Asia, including,

Afghanistan. We can trust India. Sometimes Pakistan assists us;

sometimes, it assists the enemy - duplicitous.

      What about the U.N.'s World Court and international laws?
We are the only super-power in the world, therefore, we must be

cut slack. Big bullies? We've rescued the world many times,

nurtured home-grown democracies, our gov and citizens have

done more humanitarian aid than virtually all other nations

combined, we protect most of the cosmos.

      Extremist? As the late senator Barry Goldwater

said (yes, he was indeed alive when he said it), "Extremism in

 the name of liberty is no vice." We've been reducing the number

of nuclear-tipped ICBMs in compliance with arms agreements, we

should replace those tips with conventional ones so that we

can act from a distance. Pakistan and other nations will pee

their national pants. President Bush removed bin laden's HQ and

training camps from Afghanistan and prevented them from

setting up shop in Sudan and Iraq. Over the past two years, they

have been establishing themselves in NW Africa and, more recently,

have been moving eastward. What is Obama doing about it!?!

 

What's old is new again or some things never change:

        "The Constitution was once an instrument by which the

          objective rights of individuals to use or abuse was

          generally secured. Now it is only an interesting

          intellectual challenge for bigthink sociologists who

          wrest from its Miltonic sweep and directness

          byzantine little sophisms that permit them to have

          their way in pioneering new civil rights, new

          prohibitions against school prayer, new electoral

          metaphysics (one man-one vote)....the Constitution is,

          at least temporarily, gone...."

Was this written during the past ten ears? Surprise!:

                   -Quotations from Chairman Bill (Bill Buckley), Sept. 20,1966

How the following two paragraphs got here when they belong

up there is one of the mysteries of the cosmos...

      It (Apollo 11) will barely, if at all, be mentioned by the media this

year as in most past years. Recently, we pointed out that the media and

 teachers had forgotten the 50th on the 5th at Facebook: NASA_Ares and

 in "The Devil Made Me Do It" Parts One and Two. The fiftieth anniversary

 on May 5th of the late (he was alive at the time) Alan B. Shepard

 becoming the first American to fly in space.

     By the Bye: Not many people know this but Neil actually said, "One

small step for A man, One giant leap for mankind." We didn't hear 'a'

because of static. The message got across though, And, we here, shall

always remember and be grateful that we are Americans.

 We forgot how do do Word Perfect. See you in the Funnies.

To be continued....

(We hope that Citizen Journalist didn't overhear our telephone conversation with

his doctor, Doctor Henry H. Harley. Last year, CR was treated for his addiction

to alliterations at the "Riley Rehab Right of Raleigh {N.C.}." We fear that

he is experiencing a relapse).

 

Preface: This constitutes our Swan Song. AddThis and Google Analytics tell us

that we enjoy a respectable number of readers for which we are extremely

grateful...Thank you, readers/cyber-friends...Regrettably, there has

been a paucity of feedback: We want Compliments...alright...Constructive Criticism

too! (Oops! 3Cs). Regrets, we have a few but than again to few to mention.

Through it all, we stood tall and did it our way. There were times, we're

sure you knew, when we bit off more than we could chew but through it

all, we stood tall and did it our way.

 

Normally, we start off with the cosmos (which means world) and then deal

with the world. Voltaire's attitude was: Oh God, if there is one,

save my soul, if I have one. And, after creation, God laid back and with

free will allowed humans to make a mess of things. We concur but

wouldn't blame all humans but that group which considers itself

intellectual and sophisticated and looks down at the majority: lousy

little lying liberals! (Pardon).

       Recently, Mike Huckabee announced that he would not seek the

presidency. He ruined things for us. While it is premature to endorse

anyone, we were tentatively going to endorse (subject to change):

Huckabee for President and Cain for Vice-President.

 

Huckabee held up the stars. We spoke about the military's DARPA

Program (some of its projects are top secret) in the past. Recently,

a joint DARPA/NASA project was initiated called "The 100 Year

Starship Project" (did we mention this project before?). In

January, they conducted a workshop for strategic planning. Now, they

are taking suggestions during this study phase on creating a

business-style model which is multi-disciplinary in nature that will

make long distance space travel practicable and feasible which,

hopefully, will encourage private investment.

      It makes sense when NASA awards contracts to private companies

for products and services. NASA has its own programs, as well as,

those it does jointly with private companies or with NASA monitoring.

We are vehemently opposed to all subsidies on constitutional and

financial grounds. The fed gov is issuing $$$s to private companies

like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic to develop cargo and manned crafts

and rockets to go to and from space station. This should be done by those

who invest in risky projects - they are good at picking the right

projects - and generally make a profit. This shouldn't be the role of fed

gov (nor investing in green technologies) with taxpayer money. We

won't be paid back nor will we enjoy future dividends! Further, they

will charge NASA for trips to and from space station! This money

should be used to develop NASA Ares 1 heavy-lifter and Ares 5 super-

heavy-lifter or lifters based on the $9 billion invested in Constellation,

including, Ares R & D and testing. Obama wants to start a heavy-lifter

program from scratch! Wasting taxpayer money.

       Isn't this refreshing, original and converse: private sector investment

in a gov project - NASA/DARPA!!!

      (We need NASA, please see "Space Shuttle Spin-offs" (3Ss, please

pardon CR, he knows not what he does) and "Action Chain Letters,"

including, "Action Chain Letter 10" and "ATBTC..." at groups.google.com/

group/rickcosmos-eclectic, /group/newfederalism).

 

Let's take a break for a light and pleasant moment...

                "As every man must die, so every man may see that

                 he must die; as it cannot be avoided, so it may be

                 understood."

                                                  -John Donne

 

Here's a novel idea: Return to Constitution, more specifically, "The

Declaration of Independence", "U.S. Constitution, including, Bill of Rights"

and "Federalist Papers." Liberals, formerly known as progressives, have

insidiously and progressively abused the "Commerce Clause,"
"Enumerated Powers" and the following line in the Constitution: "...the

general welfare of the people."

       One of the enumerated powers granted fed gov is regulating trade

between U.S. and foreign nations and between the states. Dem-controlled

congresses over the past 100 years have invoked it for non-trade matters

and intra-trade. A year ago, Obama seized control of all water within

the U.S., including, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams intra-state, water not

shared by more than one state, including, the puddle in front of your

house! by invoking "Commerce Clause." Such actions have reduced

state powers and individual liberties.

       Some of the other "Enumerated Powers" are: manage a national

military; coin money; grant copyrights; manage a post office; make

treaties; establish fed courts below the U.S. Supreme Court; you get the

idea... areas best handled at the federal level and matters that demonstrate

our unity as one nation under God (Libs hate that!; our Founding Fathers

felt otherwise).

        Amendment 10 in the "Bill of Rights" makes it clear that any powers

not enumerated shall be considered state or people powers. Sadly, about

a century ago and most notably FDR's New Deal in the 1930's and LBJ's

Great Society in the '60's, liberals took note of "the general welfare." They

concluded that, in spite of, the Federalist Papers and the first 100 years

of our nation that it meant things like fed involvement with Social

Security for the elderly, Welfare for the poor, SS-disability for disabled,

etc. (Citizen Journalist is a cripple. He was hospitalized in 1990 for a

fractured rib. A nurse said, "You must be so excited that the "National

Disability Act" was just passed. He responded, "WE opposed it." She was

nearly shocked out of her nurse's uniform!).

       Look at the Enumerated Powers, Amendment 10 and Federalist Papers:

Fed gov should do those things best done at national level and those

things that are for all Americans (general welfare) and not specific groups

of people. Further, they mismanage, waste billions, billions in fraud when

they get involved with areas beyond their proper purvue. Liberal Supreme

Courts have condoned or have looked the other way while state and

people powers were slowly  reduced in breath and scope. Soon we

will need a microscope. Before you know it, fed gov will be taking porno

pics and molesting. ("ATBTC: A New Beginning" Proposal 17).

               What is the difference between the degrees Doctor of

               Dental Surgery (DDS) and Doctor of Medical Dentistry

               (DMD)?

               The title depends entirely on the school's preference

              in terminology. The degrees are equivalent.

Economics...The truth about Federal Income Taxes: 50% of Americans

don't pay them; 25% get a return; the wealthiest Americans, the top 1%

pay 30% of them - they pay more than their fair share and don't mind

during good economic times: they pay less %-wise but more dollar-wise

but are collecting a lot more green due to Reagan/Bush cutting tax rates

and eliminating loopholes and deductions.

       What FDR and Obama taught us: Big $s in the form of stimulus

packages due little or nothing during bad economic times; What we

learned from R & W: Cutting tax rates does the trick. Non-lib JFK knew

this as well.

       Oil companies are stealing us blind: Think on this the next  time that

you go to the pump - 7 cents of the dollar that you pay goes to big bad

oil while 41 cents goes to the state (tax) and the rest goes to refineries, the

transporters of oil, the gas station, FOREIGN COUNTRIES, (TERRORISTS),

etc.

 

*The first part of quote comes from "M*A*S*H* Goes to Paris" (by Richard

Hooker, 1975, Pocket Books) and the second part from "M*A*S*H*" by

Richard Hooker, 1968, Perennial Books). Few people know that it was a

novel before it was a motion picture (1969) and a T.V. series (1972-83). Even

fewer know about MASH Goes to New Orleans/Maine/Paris.

Your going to miss Citizen Journalist after he boards his starship for

destinations unknown. His ability to discern unusual connections, his

special outside sources, his extensive traditional library and his tools for

generating original ideas and proposals.

Preface: The Long Goodbye...This represents part two of a three part

series - the finale.' Citizen Journalist may appear sporadically in the

future and regularly if he can secure an associate or two.

       Tammy Gordin's has eclectic interests, including, astronautics

and poetry. She has kindly contributed this creative piece to our

swan song.

Sonnet XXXII by Tammy Gordin,

 

The Space Station's golden solar arrays
squeeze the last morsel of energy
from each orbit. An instrument surveys
all dosages of power at every
diurnal spin as they revolve around
the planet. Large measures of power will
be sucked into the batteries. Compound
silicon solar cells dominate. Still,
it is the rotary joint that lets
the panels track the sun and seize
the rays. ISS spins until it sets
into shadow. It performs this with ease
just like a geometry, zipping all through
limited plasma fields of cobalt blue.

We win; Obama loses. We encouraged our readers to phone or leave message at

websites of members of congress in our "Action Chain Letters" on

 a number of issues, especially, NASA. Recently, the Senate "Committee

on Science, Commerce, Transportation," headed by www.bolde.senate.gov/public/,

scolded our NASA, rightfully so, for failing to make progress on developing

a plan regarding NASA's primary directive: manned space flight. In a letter,

the committee expressed its concern that the U.S. would lose its

preeminent position in space exploration with all the technological/

economic ramifications thereof. It further stated, the Authorization Act of 2010,

"also requires NASA to leverage previous investments in the Shuttle

and the now-canceled 'Constellation' Program to develop a Space

Launch System (SLS) capable of carrying multi-purpose crew vehicle

(CJ: Orion)...which requires NASA to use existing contracts,

workforce, and capabilities to the extent practicable to develop the

new system.'

     This constitutes a victory for us. Obama wanted to start from

scratch in developing a heavy-lifter and super-heavy-lifter which would have

meant that the $9 billion investment in CONSTELLATION would have

gone down the same presidential black hole as stimulus funds and

cash-for-clunkers. He so enjoys wasting taxpayer money! Note bene':

All the member of the Committee - bipartisan - agreed! A 21-rocket

salute to common sense!!!!
