If Madame Mayor wants to stop TXU from building 11 new coal plants, she, or anyone else in Austin this morning, shouldn’t read this story. A new study by MIT faculty members says it’s unclear which technology, the gasification kind Miller wants to see, or the pulverized kind TXU has proposed, will better capture carbon emissions at coal plants.
Aside from the Wha? it induces, I read the aforementioned story and I wonder how Trey will respond. The nut-case, global-warming-is-bunk Trey will surely bug out and say, See? See? Conversely, that same Trey must be confused by the news, since it comes from the bastion of all things eco-friendly and left-leaning, the New York Times.
Trey, your thoughts.
Fingers of Fury has been all over the release of the new JFK video. He and everyone else have said it’s kinda boring–just shows the president passing by in his motorcade about 90 seconds before the shooting. But turns out, at least for this JFK author, the video proves the single bullet theory.
[T]o assassination researchers, the footage definitively resolves one of the case’s enduring controversies: that the bullet wound on Kennedy’s back, as documented and photographed during the autopsy, did not match up with the location of the bullet hole on the back of his suit jacket and shirt. The discrepancy has given conspiracy theorists fodder to argue that the autopsy photos had been retouched and the report fabricated.
Kennedy’s suit is clearly bunched in the video. This means, ballistically speaking (and how often do we get to speak ballistically?), that the wound in Kennedy’s back aligned with the bullet’s entry point in Kennedy’s suit. Hence, single bullet.
Then again, the guy writing the Op-Ed is the author of Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of J.F.K.

Here you go, Rod. This sexy picture of Tammy Dombeck should help. Did you hear that, Google? This post contains the words “sexy” and “Tammy Dombeck.” Not to mention Alexa Conomos. Oops, just did mention Alexa Conomos. (And here’s the original post whence it came.)
No, I’m not confusing you with Roger Daltrey. I just pray that given the Blogkiller, I mean redesign, the only thing I can think of to bring back our short-attention-span (or long-suffering) FB Nation is the one proven hit-maker–you. So if you have any jpegs of yourself, in or out of the studio, please forward to Uncle Ernie (Tim) asap. Even this post will draw hits. Hey, I don’t make up the rules.
(As backup, we will also accept any photos of council hotties Angela Hunt or Elba Garcia).
(As desperation, anything depicting Laura Miller or Mike Snyder, but not together).
I don’t know what to say. I don’t know where the boxes came from. Maybe our Bangladeshi programmers got bored while we were sleeping. Thank you for your continued patience.
Update: The boxes have left us. Hallelujah. One more note: to those who’ve asked about the speed with which the page loads, we’re also in the process of upgrading our server(s). So that should remedy itself soon, too.
