There's a reason why it happened:


Party discipline goes out the window in Fianna Fáil's very public implosion

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...288009631.html


Which if you ask me, seems to reflect similarly on the Labour Party in the UK, and in the states of New South Wales, South Australia and West Australia. Remember, Fianna Fail, and the Labour parties are all on the center-left and are typically reliant on spending their way to, and while in, power.

Launch of giant rocket in Southern California heard for miles

"With a thunderous roar heard for miles around, the tallest rocket ever launched
from Vandenberg Air Force Base blasted into outer space, hurtling over the Pacific
Ocean as it cut across the afternoon sky.

At 1:10 p.m. Pacific time, the 23-story Delta IV Heavy rocket lifted off from the
base northwest of Santa Barbara. A white plume trailed the massive rocket as it
ascended.

Standing 235 feet tall, the rocket was so large that the blast reportedly was
heard as far away as 50 miles. According to aerospace experts, the booster was
carrying a top-secret spy satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office — the
covert federal umbrella agency that operates spy satellites."

See:

That must have been one BIG SpySat.

Spaceflight Now has some good background on the Delta 4 launch.

The so-called KH-12 imagery sats that Titan IV used to launch from Vandenberg supposedly weighed up to 38,000lb (17,000kg), although you can't trust open sources much with this stuff. Today's payload may well be a new design, but Spaceflight Now's mention of "sending surveillance craft into polar orbits to observe nearly all of the planet's surface" does hint at a similar mission.

Soon we won't need rockets, we'll just mass-drive them.

Mass drivers will probably work for cargo containers and whatnot, but will most likely crush human occupants to jelly.

We should just be glad it happened in the US - if it had happened in Japan then Ishihara would be on TV right now blaming anime.

And second graders of all things! That's really, really sick, not only on the kids.

Two kids engaging in sexual acts, with other kids in the classroom naked? Bet the teacher's a pedophile.

2nd graders!? That is the most ridiculous thing ever. Either this is a blackmail attempt or something is seriously wrong with the state that the US is in. I don't believe for a second that 2nd graders do biology.

In any case, now watch Sarah Palin attack Obama/Pelosi/Reid on this.

In any case, watch Obama/Pelosi/Reid attack video games, music, movies, anime, manga and anything else that offends their delicate sensibilities. Gun control will also probably be mentioned despite having nothing at all to do with this.

It's like any other wolf; when something nips at their butt they bite in retaliation.

US politics is always like that; I wonder why the US hasn't fallen yet.

Right attacks Left and anyone else that hates redneck culture, Left attacks any form of popular culture that offends their namby-pamby bohemian-artsy sensibilities.

That's the sad thing about this: besides from the obvious question of "wtf was that teacher doing?", it sounds like a classic case of kids imitating something they've seen but don't understand. Obvious conclusions to leap to are that at least one of them's been molested or has gotten access to porn, both of which are serious issues but will no doubt be overlooked in the noise.

I'd reference a certain infamous GitS:SAC sub here, but I have no wish to be banned from AnimeSuki.
