So I Guess Al Queda's Hiding on Mars Now?

Us Adopts Tough New Space Policy

"The US has adopted a tough new policy aimed at protecting its interests in space and denying "adversaries" access there for hostile purposes.

The document - signed by President Bush - also says "freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power".

The document rejects any proposals to ban space weapons.

But the White House has said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space."

A New Challenger Has Appeared!

I saw Round One of the Apocalypse while stuck in traffic this morning. Full on biblical Armageddon style. Words can't really do it justice. The only way to get it right would be an animated rock opera, sung by Meatloaf. Demons spewing from cracks in the Earth to tear at the pillars of the sky, legions of angels with AK-47s on flying motorcycles, a cacophony of multi-armed Hindu gods on elephants, pantheons of the world let loose to run wild like psychotics on Spring Break.

And of course today was the day I left my digicam at home.
