Thank God the Space Shuttle didn't go up today!!!
I hope it doesn't go up on Saturday and frankly I hope it's delayed until NEXT summer.

The last thing we need right now is a distraction.

A distraction that would allow the MSM to shift into overdrive, and drop the coverage of ROVE and the DSM for 7x24 coverage of something that doesn't matter.

I hope and I pray that the Shuttle stays grounded.

I hope and I pray that no other pretty blond white girls go missing. (I always hope that anyway).


I hope and I pray that no little children are suddenly in peril (I always hope that anyway).

We need to have ZERO distractions, ZERO excuses to cut away to breaking news in Arkansas or Florida or Idaho.

The longer the pressure is applied and the longer the discussions are taking place the sooner we can get these lying rat bastards.

STAY grounded PLEASE!

1. Heheh....

...I wonder if they really had a bad fuel sensor, or whether they thought to themselves "You know, with Rove needing a distraction so badly, this might not be such a safe idea..."

(just kidding, of course)

6. Yeah, you never know, but the other reason it would have grounded..
Thunderstorm within 50 miles. At noon, that was also the case.

3. "The last thing we need right now is a distraction."
You choose what distracts you. The wheels of misadministration in D.C. keep rolling, regardless of what else is happening, be it in Fl or elsewhere.

The RW m.o. is to run and do something underhanded while there is a distraction, so just stay focused and you'll be fine. ;)

5. I am scared the administration will blow up the shuttle on purpose.
It wont help *'s ratings, but that wont stop them from trying. They are total morons, and they have filled the WH with loose cannons who lack the most basic human morals. If I was NASA, I would put a halt to all Shuttle launches for a while.
