Beam me up, K3!

One of the K3 tunes that seems to come across particularly well live is “Tele-Romeo,” where they sing “Hello, Hello.” Here’s the very amusing (well, I think so) studio video, with the girls mooning over some astronaut — wearing a motorcycle helmet! — who’s not on the Moon, but…. Mars, maybe? It even opens with Star Trek sound effects.

Campaign Trains of Thought

This was sent around at work today…

Campaign Trains

… but this news item isn’t funny.

A sense of grievance spilling into rage has gripped some GOP events this week as McCain supporters see his presidential campaign lag against Obama. Some in the audience are making it personal, against the Democrat. Shouts of “traitor,” “terrorist,” “treason,” “liar,” and even “off with his head” have rung from the crowd at McCain and Sarah Palin rallies, and gone unchallenged by them.

These people are coming from the same trains of thought that created Timothy McVey. Fox News and Rush Limbaugh can blame themselves for helping to fan these flames of hatred.

Titanic News

Sarah Palin Newsweek coverThe Fox News folks are upset over the unflattering photo of Sarah Palin on the cover of Newsweek. But what interested me the most in this week’s issue is the story of why the Titanic sank faster than McCain’s campaign is sinking now.

“It was negligence: the ship’s builders suspected that the ship’s hull was too flimsy, but they overrode the concerns of their engineer in a bid to get the Titanic on the seas in time.”
