Well Hell, Government Seems to Boil Down to a Raping and Thieving Feeding Frenzy

So instead, here is the Tarantula Nebula.

Our Money on Fire

So 470 Billion is the easy to calculate number.  "The low hanging fruit".  Imagine how much more money is wasted, stolen outright, stolen through vendor overcharging (can you say F-35), laundered, or used for no valuable purpose (since no government agency or department is audited for effective economic performance) if we really put our mind to the task to discover.  Probably closer to a trillion total.

And we have a $4 Trillion budget for 2018.  So, potentially 1/4th of all our tax money is stolen.  Hey, we'll never know will we.   

As an aside, I read a piece today that claimed Bitcoin would destroy the US Dollar when bitcoin reaches 25,000.  It hit 10,000 today and it has been on a tear.  5 grand just last week or maybe it was the week before.

I make no claim to understand bitcoin as I just immediately pegged it as a Ponzi scheme and blocked it out but maybe something to consider.

One Can Only Imagine All That is in Play Here

The Orion Nebula, a very easy target for small telescopes is incredible in itself and just a small fuzzy dot on our night sky.  Within that the Horsehead Nebula could contain 11 trillion Earths all by itself depending on width and depth.

Click the pics but of course Monsieur and Mademoiselle.

Hope It Was A Wonderful Day for You All - Back to Getting It On.

Absent Friends.

I have some.  Don't we all.

Joe Biden Appears to be a Pedophile

Even with his own family members since this is a swearing in ceremony.


No, they don't call you Middle Class Joe, they call you Joe the Groper.  The Pedophile Groper.  At various points in the vid, it is easy to see he is standing way to close to these young girls.  In one case forcing his crotch against her arm, in another body and hand are obviously at work.

Most Galaxies Don't Have Any Rings -- Why Does This Galaxy Have Two?

Click the picture to go to the APOD site and scroll down to read the description.  Once there click the image a couple times to get the huge version to explore.

My personal theory about this galaxy is that it is female.  It has two rings and maybe more hidden away, and it is impossible to understand or describe with any certainty - A Female galaxy.

Veteran's Day

Good Time for Tommy Atkins.



Those who understand why America is the greatest country in the world - Still - will defend her regardless if they feel abused due to racism, sexism, xenophobia or any other absurd social malady.  Those who don't will not defend her and will suffer the consequences when "America" falls.
What happened they will scream !  You happened.
 

Love the Composition and Colors.

An Attractive Galaxy

Modest, yet provocative.  One of the 10 trillion galaxies that are estimated to be floating around out there.  Or is it 20 trillion?  Ah, I'll count them later.
