Re: BBC Horizon: The Hawking Paradox
Hawkins didn't make a mistake here... he just can't come up a logical explanation for this scenario...
As per the post above... he pulled it out of his ass.

Re: BBC Horizon: The Hawking Paradox
This officially made me lose any future respect for Hawking...
He's been brilliant up until this. Basically he is presented with a problem of where matter goes once it enters a black hole. He can't come up with any real explanation and essentially makes up an explanation with not much backing it up.
It's worth a viewing, but you might not feel convinced of his idea afterwords.

Re: Barack Obama: Presidential Acceptance Speech 2008
Once the infatuation with Obama fades he will need to prove himself. He certainly can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk? You know that there are countries that are not friendly with the US that will want to test this inexperienced leader.

You could probably take this scene out and put it into any other Jack Nicholson movie and it would fit. Classic Jack.

Re: Obama Speech: 'A More Perfect Union'
1) Point taken, but something of that nature should have been dealt with ealier b/c now it looks like he was trying to hide something, or at least that's how the media will position this. And that's how many in the public will feel.
2b) The issue is not Canada or Mexico.. it's the doubletalk and denials... just like every other politician.
3) You've got a great analogy, and Obama could very well be vastly gifted more than we all know. Let's look at another example.. If you had to invest money, would you go to a financial analyst who has 2 years of experience, or would you go to the person who has 30 years experience and had made a few mistakes? I think most logical people would probably trust their money to someone who has the track record... why would it be any different for the foreign policy country?
4a) Obama can keep whoever he wants as his preacher. But this guy is clearly radical, anti-American, or at the very least separatist. It doesn't look look very good for a presidential candidate to be associated with this type of character and especially not for 20 years. Why would Hillary defend anyone she is running against? Or any candidate defend anyone they are running against. It's a tight race and it's gonna get tighter.
4b) All else being equal, if he was a different race, there wouldn't be any hype. We can argue this all you want... but this is difficult to deny.
5) I mentioned b/c that's what I feel and I want to make it clear that I am taking a logical and rational approach to this election. Whether or not you agree with me is a different story however. And I don't just say things b/s it is the popular thing to say... never have, never will. That's an inane and immature way to think/act.
Hey if you like the guy, more power to you. It's a great country and we have the right to choose our own political leaders and voice our opinions. As it is your opinion to be optimistic and supportive of this candidate, it is also mine. He's run a great campaign, but that doesn't mean everything is going to change if/when he gets into office.
Sure let's meet up in 4.5 years... I don't think we will see any significant improvements in office. Actually, I think there will be a lot of disappointed people out there. Not because of his lack of inaction or intention, but not living up to this hype that he has created around himself and his inability to live up the the grandiose and overly optimistic expectations. At least with the other candidates, we will know what to expect.
May the best candidate win.
And you're right I did not listen to the speech... I read the text of it..

Re: Obama Speech: 'A More Perfect Union'
Granted his speeches are well written and he has a charismatic delivery. But just because someone has a frank discussion about racism does not necessarily qualify them to be commander-in-chief.
My questions are:
1) Why did it take him so long to address the issue of the preacher? 20 years is a very long time to know someone. And he's been on the campaign trail for sometime... all of the sudden he disagrees with what the guys says... doesn't make any sense to me.
2) What's all this talk about change anyway? Wasn't one of his biggest campaign contributors a slumlord who is in a legal mess now? Didn't Obama also invest in those properties and only gave away the $ he made after this came to light? Didn't his campaign tell the Canadian gov't that his public views on NAFTA just political rhetoric? Looks like no change here... same old hamburger, different rapper.
3) Although I'm not crazy about any of the candidates, Obama by far has the least foreign policy experience out of the three. Hence, wouldn't he be the least likely to trust in those matters? Isn't our foreign policy a mess now? Do we need anymore of that?
4) Is Geraldine Ferrara so wrong in stating that Obama is where he is because he's black? By Obama's own way of thinking, if his preacher is just being honest (albeit very twisted), can't Ferrara's view be honest? Doesn't she speak for people who might be afraid to be called the 'R' word (racist)? If his name were Tom Ritazzi and he was a white Italian guy with the same approach, platform, etc... would there be all the hype? What if he was a Jason Chen or Hector Carlos Ramirez? You get the point.
Again, I really don't like any of the candidates and I could care less what color or gender the president is. But let's be real and not get swept up in some fantasy that everything will magically 'change' if this guys gets elected.

Re: The Decemberists: The mariner's Revenge Song (Live)
I saw these guys live w few years back in Brooklyn. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the music it was certainly one of the best live shows I have ever seen.
FYI - The band hung out after the show. Petra the violin player was so hammered she could not speak. She walked up to me on the street, said something, and I could not make any sense of it. Then she just walked away.
