In the end, evil konks out
Like a squid simmered in its own ink,
Because evil fails the moment
It overwhelms the good,
Consuming the very energy
To which it owed its duration.

Alien Lore No. 167 - The Tenth Planet On Its Way? Hubble Observes P/2010 A2 traveling at 11,000 miles per hour
Thanks to Jeff Clinton for referring this story. It appeared on Gizmodo originally, but we used mostly the Hubble and NASA sites for info. Photo reproduced courtesy of NASA, and You, the American Taxpayer.
The Hubble recently uncovered a weird X-shaped object traveling through space at around 11,000 mph. NASA says that P/2010-A2 is probably be a comet or the aftermath of a collision between two asteroids. [Editor's note, unless my math is wrong, they could be here in a year or so??]
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope photo below shows a comet-like P/2010 A2, which was first discovered by the LINEAR (Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research program) sky survey on January 6.
The object appears so odd in ground-based telescopic images that NASA decided to book a little time on Hubble to take a closer look. This January 29 picture shows a "bizarre X-pattern of filamentary structures near the point-like nucleus of the object and trailing streamers of dust," according to NASA
The inset picture suggests the object is not a comet but instead the product of a head-on collision between two asteroids. ASA says that astronomers have "long thought that the asteroid belt is being ground down through collisions, but such a smashup has never before been seen."
At the time of the Hubble observations, the object was approximately 180 million miles from the Sun and 90 million from Earth. The bottom line on P/2010 A2 is that no one who is supposed to know has any idea where it came from or where it's going. Naturally, we at All This Is That believe that it is the fabled Tenth Planet, come home to join us, rescue us, or invade us.

The Supermarket
He says, "Do you know me?"
She smiles and says
"I think you're the father of one of my kids."
He is, of course, stunned. His mind reels back to the one time he was unfaithful to his wife.
"You're the stripper from my bachelor party? I remember. We had sex on the pool table while your partner whipped me with wet celery."
She smiles and says,
"No. I'm your son's math teacher."

Dr. Wu by Steely Dan (from Katy Lied), with lyrics
Katy tried
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow
You walked in
And my life began again
Just when I'd spent the last piaster
I could borrow
All night long
We would sing that stupid song
And every word we sang
I knew was true
Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do
Are you with me Doctor
Don't seem right
I've been strung out here all night
I've been waiting for the taste
You said you'd bring to me
Biscayne Bay
Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day
I went searching for the song
You used to sing to me
Katy lies
You could see it in her eyes
But imagine my surprise
When I saw you
Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
She is lovely yes she's sly
And you're an ordinary guy
Has she finally got to you
Can you hear me Doctor

Relativity & Politics by Albert Einstein
"All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field" ~Albert Einstein---o0o---
Justice Alito's mugging for the camera was no better than Joe Wilson's outburst
A quick note from Pablo Fanque,
All This Is That National Affairs Editor
Wasn't Justice Alito's scowl & mouthing "not true" at the camera maybe even worse than Rep. Wilson's "You lie" earlier this year? Step down, you contemptible, windbag and take Scalia with you...preferably feet first.
