This last day of June finds our soldiers out of Baghdad, and AL FRANKEN IN HIS SENATE SEAT. Still there are questions... Can the comeback post death comeback for Billy Mays rival that of Michael J?

There's what people want to hear; there's what people want to believe; there's everything else.Then, there's the truth and the truth calls for responsibility.A Quote of the Momento from the movie, The International.

Stephen Colbert's WEEK IN IRAQ was pretty amazing if weird in parts...here's a highlight:
Thursday, June 11, 2009
The tragedy at the National Holocaust Museum has got 2nd Lt. FUBAR to thinking. Back in January 2000, I, her FUBARness, and the illustrious Captain Chaos went to Paris. There we went to several museums, including the Jewish Museum, where we had to submit to a number of security measures akin to today's airport routine. The folks in the entryway were behind bulletproof glass. I remember telling the Captain that I didn't have to go through any of that when I visited the Holocaust Museum a couple years earlier. At the time I thought the Parisians were going overboard. Now ... So, it turns out the shooter, James von Brunn (Austrian surname - perfect!) has among his white supremacist ... uh ... accomplishments, the authoring of a book and a website which reveal the "Jew conspiracy to destroy the white gene pool." Well, as a member of the Tribe, I was really disappointed to read this. I mean, I never got the memo. Then again, I'm also half-Aryan, so maybe my parents already did their part and I'm a shining example of impure blood, though I've long passed for white. Among other things, this is an example of how science won't convince people of anything they don't approach with reason. Educating people about evolution will not automatically cause them to reject a literal reading of Genesis, just as everything we now know about the lack of any significant genetic differences among humans won't convince the KKK that so-called miscegenation is A-OK. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of guard Stephen Tyrone Johns.
Periodic table gets heavy: A new "super-heavy" element has been discovered/created by a team of Germans (natürlich), but is as yet unnamed. Here at FreshChaos HQ we like the following: obesium, bigbonedium, aintmybrotherium (think about it ...) Yet another tale of woe regarding paying for health costs, but this time with a note that having health insurance as it stands now may not save you from racking up Medical Debt. Come on health care reform already!

A reader in DC area, writes re:holocaust museum shooting:"So sad, one officer died. He evidently was a hard working guy and this was a 2nd job.

On the radio it is being reported some seperatist groups are cheering."

JUST-in from SpaceWeather.com:->IMPACT ALERT: Japan's Kaguya will crash into the Moon on Wednesday, June 10th, around 1830 UT. The timing favors observers in Asia and Australia, who might be able to see a flash of light or a plume of debris rising from the Moon's southeastern limb. The spacecraft masses 2,600 kg and it will slam into the lunar surface at 6,000 km/hr. No one knows, however, how bright the flash might be or whether it will be visible even through large telescopes.
