I just love this story:
Giant mirrors bring winter sun to Norwegian village (via AFP)
Residents of a remote village nestled in a steep-sided valley in southern Norway are about to enjoy winter sunlight for the first time ever thanks to giant mirrors. The mountains that surround the village of Rjukan are far from Himalayan, but they are…
On a personal note and because the sun shines its light even into the darkest corners. 1) Most of the people who call-in to C-SPAN are as dumb as a bag full of hammers. 2) Bill Maher continues with his racist rants against Islam. 3) Michael O’Hanlon of the Brookings Instutute is the least credible warmonger being booked on cable tv these days. 4) Jim Steinberg, Hillary’s top aide on China and longtime AIPAC supported, has co-authored a new book with fellow interventionist and Zionist O’Hanlon. 5) Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) may be the most dangerous fascist in America today. 6) Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) may be the second most dangerous fascist. 7) Senator Dinne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is certainly the third most dangerous fascist.
Im, many of your posts are really terrific, but there’s no reason to hijack a thread like this.
You do that often.
If you want to control the agenda, start your own blog.
Izquierdo, my apologies. But without an ‘Open Thread’ it’s sometimes difficult to comment about a topic as esoteric as mirrors and the suns reflection without sounding like a mental patient. Consequently, the sound of a different drummer leads to a path less traveled. Please forgive the occasional transgressions.
I’m always buoyed up by the creativity and ingenuity of human beings for good things when they’re not collared with the lead albatross of the 1% and fundamentalist religion. Remember the good old days when America was inventive. Before corporate ‘personhood’ and born again Xtians.
