Malaysian Air 370

Instant loss of cabin pressure knocks everyone out at once. Loss of transponder and communications at the same time? I don't know. But there seem to be a lot of coincidences that hit at the same time. Odds were not good, but not out of the question. But it's way too early (and ALWAYS will be) to jump to the supernatural, or to consider outrageously ridiculous claims of conspiracy theorists.

We don't know. We may never find out. We likely will, but there's a chance that we just won't know.But the leap into woo-woo is not called for. The woo-woo will come, because we have so many people that naturally want to go there. But let's keep our head in the game.

One thing is for sure. Some charlatans are going to make bank out of this.

The Onion already went there. Remember everyone! Before you get your panties in a bunch. This is satire!

Future of Ukraine

I have no idea. But I think Mother Jones does. Therefore, I'm going to turn the responsibility and prediction over to them:

Arizona's Right to Discriminate Law

http://www.stonekettle.com/2014/02/arizona-goddam.html?spref=fb

C'mon. Seriously?
Two possibilities. Brewer vetoes it. Or Brewer signs it, and the courts overturn it. The odds that this becomes the law in Arizona? Nil. Ain't going to happen. No how. No way.

The whole thing is sheer insanity.

Nye/Ham

  Ken Ham wasn't able to finance the completion of his Noah's Ark exhibit in Kentucky. He was fading away into oblivion. While we pat ourselves on the back for the Bill Nye "obvious and overwhelming victory" in the debate, I predict that we're going to be subjected to much more publicity for Ken Ham, his attendance will go up @ his "museum", and he's going to finish his scam of an exhibit. And he almost faded away into obscurity...

Death of the GOP?

They had one very bad, extremely bad, day. Kind of showed all their cards. Were enough of us paying attention to be able to do anything about it? Let's hope. I think not, but I think they were slightly wounded...

Either way, it's a win-win for the richest and most powerful, and a lose-lose for all the rest of us.
