Antisemite and white nationalist donald trump had dinner with antisemite Ye and white nationalist nick fuentes. It was a typical dinner with trump yelling at his guest. The only news worthy items are what did they eat, and who got sick afterwards. Hopefully some dogged journalist is on the story.

Loretta Lynn has passed away.

Anyone else watch NOVA last night? I highly recommend it if you did not.

It was facinating learning about the Apollo 8 mission and how many risks they took, the physics and engineering that went in to make it all happen, and the luck. It was the best possible end to 1968.

I was talking to my son about what could have happened when they ignited the rocket after they went behind the moon to slow the craft and enter a controlled orbit around the moon. We know it worked. It was about 30 minutes I think before they got around the other side and re-established contact with Mission Control.

There is a British band called Public Service Broadcasting with an album called Race for Space where they use original recordings and add some atmospheric music. They used the recording of Mission Control checking in with Apollo 8. The song is called “The Other Side.” I thought I it was really cool, but I didn’t realize what was happening until I watched NOVA last night.

This is a bit morbid, but I got to thinking about what the astronauts would have done if things didn’t work as planned and they ended up slipping off into space. Did they have poison with them to make a quick death, or would they have slowly died after things ran out? Anyone know?

Maybe the thought didn’t enter their minds. The astronauts were brave and they trusted the team that everything would work as planned. Except there was at least one unforseen problem when they mistakenly reset the computer. PROG 01.

Hope! Little League World Series

The Little League World Series (LLWS) is happening in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and is being broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN 2. This year has an MLB game in Williamsport this evening in the 2nd oldest minor league field, Bowman Field. The two MLB teams are the Pirates and the Cardinals and the players are mingling with the kids. LLWS teams are from around the world; Japan, Australia, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, South Korea, Italy and Dominican Republic and 8 teams from US, and the MLB players are from many countries.

The baseball is great, there is a lot of joy, love and fun in Williamsport!

Saw an image of Preibus and the flag pin on his lapel looked like it had a bug on it. Quick Google search and I found the above image of a secret service flag pin.

Does anyone else feel this is strange?

David Ignatius was on the News Hour tonight and he mentioned something very surprising. He was talking about the Russian hacking and why Obama didn't do more before the election.

I've heard one thing that kept them from doing more, and going public was they wanted to prevent the appearance of interfering with the election.

But Ignatius said they felt doing something would make the Russians interfere more, including interfering with counting ballots! Holy smokes! So that was a threat?

What is going to happen To future elections?

It's Monday, have you written your Senators and Representative?

I just wrote mine about Russian hacking and investigating this. I have to do something instead of feeling despair when reading DailyKos.

I'll try to write them everyday. I live in New York, so Schumer and Gillibrand are my best hope on the inside. My Representative is Tom Reed. He was one of trumps earliest endorsers, so not much hope there. But he needs to hear from his loyal opposing constituents too.

Dismissing Russia?!?!? Really?

I wrote my NY Senators asking them both to pull their co-sponsorships of the bill S. 968 (PI Protect) and vote against the bill if it came to the floor. I don't know if it is possible to pull sponsorship of a bill. This morning I received a response from Senator Schumer about my concerns. He is still supporting the bill by "monitoring it" but this is the first time I have received a response that wasn't a "Thank you for contacting me."

Don't know if what he says is true, but the numbers are suspect.

Below is his response.

A big news day, what with President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize and wingnuts' heads exploding. But never one to disappoint in the OMG WTF is she talking about now, Rep. Bachmann creates an entire story attributed to a 20-year-old woman named Jamie living in Minnesota.

I live in New York and I strongly support Single payer health coverage. I just finished writing to Senators Schumer and Gillibrand and also to my Representative, Maurice Hinchey.

Usually Congress members don't accept emails from non constituents, but I also wrote to Senator Baucus and the email seemed to have gone through.

I have been living in Ithaca New York since 2002. I never imagined living in New York before 2002. Naturally being a curious liberal, I have been learning about my current home. I may end up making this into a series of dairy postings as there is just so much interesting stuff going on here both past and present. Like I just learned from our local newspaper, The Ithaca Journal, that house assessments will be going up again, bucking the trend of most of the rest of the nation. But that is not what I am writing about today.

In 1980 I turned 18 on election day. That day I voted for John Anderson. I knew I didn't like Reagan and I thought there was a chance for a third party candidate to win. Well, I learned that lesson before Nader came to along in 2000. I wish now I had voted for the other loser that day, President Jimmy Carter.

I plan to ramble for a while. If you have nothing else to do you can follow me over the rainbow and read more. Otherwise, all I want for my birthday is a huge, landslide Obama win!
