Far, far above. A co-worker of mine is long time friends with Dan Tani , an astronaut who currently calls the International Space Station his home. The other day he snapped pictures of the D/FW area and I thought I would share them. Thanks to Dan for...
EthicsDaily.com writer Robert Parham tosses out this little gem of an article about how those of us who don't feel that global warming is as big of a threat as it is being made out to be are "deniers" and should be called out for it. I've got problems...
Via Michelle Malkin , by way of Weasel Zippers and with commentary from the Asia Times , this article from the National Catholic Reporter makes a profound statement about the size of China's growing Christian population. Perhaps the most remarkable burst...
This slideshow is simply amazing to see. Popular Mechanics does a phenomenal job with this. I'll be buying their August issue.
From the looks of this image, Greensburg was toast no matter what that night. If the storms had formed about 10 miles south and a couple miles west, we would have been talking about two towns wiped out. Click the image to enlarge. Source: NWS Wichita
Some good information on this page from the Wichita Eagle. I thought this by Phyllis Jacobs Greikspoor was especially moving. I almost made it through the first 24 hours after a storm without sobbing. Almost. Greensburg is one of my favorite small Kansas...
Instapundit has a good post up this morning about weather radios. A couple excerpts: SO IN THE WAKE OF THE KANSAS TORNADO TRAGEDY, I finally got around to unboxing and setting up the all hazards weather alert radio that I ordered a while back. ... More...
This is unbelievable. We drove through this town last July. It's 133 miles from where I grew up. The town is/was roughly the same size as my hometown, in rural Kansas. It's a small farming community. Everything about Greensburg reminds me of Caldwell...
I'm watching Law & Order, and Fred Thompson's character just said "I don't judge what others believe." Kind of ironic, considering the flap of a couple weeks ago.
UPDATE : Welcome Instapundit readers! And thanks for the link Glenn. UPDATE 2 : Scroll to the bottom for some further thoughts. UPDATE 3 : Thanks to everyone who has commented. Also, thanks to ElephantBiz.com for the link as well, though if you don't...
Just look at the picture .
Super Bowl - Congratulations to Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy and the Colts on last night's Super Bowl victory. I've been a fan of Tony Dungy's since he was the head coach in Tampa Bay, mainly because of his faith and his understated way of displaying...
As only a lawyer can, Glenn Reynolds points out many of the same things that I believe about global warming, but in a much better way. My favorite part: Does this matter? Probably not. Regardless of what you think of the above, burning carbon is a lousy...
I'm sure most of you have never heard of Dr. Heidi Cullen. She hosts a show on The Weather Channel called The Climate Code which basically talks about how horrible we are to the planet and how bad global warming is. She made a comment on her blog...
This summer looks to be a big one at the movies. I was reading on another site about how the competition is going to be pretty thick this year, and looking at this list I think it will be. Here are the movies and what I think might result. Spiderman 3...
