On Saturday night, the moon will be near its closest distance to earth of this year, getting as close as 221,802 miles. Since it is the closest full moon this year, this event is called a “Supermoon”, which appears 14 percent bigger than when the moon is at its furthest from earth.
Especially when the moon is near the horizon, it will look enormous tonight. Should be a fun thing to show your kids, in addition to being worth any astronomy geek’s time, at least for a minute or two.

I have a friend working the admissions desk at a psychiatric hospital tonight, who is really looking forward to this.

Clint....That was a full and complete sentence.
The Full Moon phenomenon must be reversed in yourself.
That means insanity is your natural state and any incursion into sanity is the exception rather than the rule.
And I was worried that since there was not going to be a brokered Republican convention, it broke your heart as well as your mind.
I am so relieved, as your recent posts indicating a descent to “Post American” type madness are not a symptom of illness but rather a healthful progression to your natural state.
Keep following your doctors proscription and get better soon.
Best of medical luck

We Just Mooned Ya Southern Dwarf.
" TAMPA, April 7, 2012 – GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney continues to win primaries and Ron Paul still won’t go away.
Part of the reason is that the Paul campaign understands the primary process and knows a little history. Romney’s support is lukewarm, while Paul’s actual delegate total is dramatically understated.
As Robert Wenzel points out, Paul is a lot like Warren Harding. Harding went into the brokered 1920 convention with only 6% of the delegates, but emerged as the party’s nominee. Harding won the general election in a landslide and took a very non-interventionist approach to the Depression of 1921.
Free market economists cite Harding’s refusal to intervene in that crisis for the quick recovery that followed. "

??WE...Clint??
You must be referring to the multitude of house-cats which are your only posse.
Just rest and lie back thinking warm fuzzy thoughts about Ron Paul becoming the Republican nominee.
Let Nurse Racket tell Mr Skipperdoo you are not coming out to play as you will be having moments of lucidity and rationality all night because of the Full Moon.
Be kind to the rest of your ward-mates as they are only human and you are a “Master Wizard” of the cut and paste post.
Monday will so come and you will be back to your old self.
So rest well tonight.

It's always some pipedream with Clint and his people...
He finally quit posting about where "THE TEA PARTY IS HEADING"......
Because everything he has said would happen doesn't happen ..... EVER.
Clint is to political senses...
What Joe Biden is to Foreign policy.
NOW...there are a few scrap delegates Clint and the rest of the eggheads are counting on to do something...but It won't amount to anything....
It never does.....

Your An Argument Against Yourself, Dixie Pixie.
" Dixie Pixie| 3.6.12 @ 1:10PM
Why would the Republicans nominate the unwanted and unloved Mittens Romney?
Because the Republican Leadership is openly conspiring with the Democrats through their propaganda arm, the MSM, to contain, thwart, marginalize and expunge the Conservatives.
Face facts, Obama is doing everything the Ruling Class asked for him to do.
He has done a bang-up job of looting the Middle-Class to spend the money on the Ruling Class through the Federal Government accounts.
As co-mangers of Federal Government spending, the Republican Party Leadership has greatly benefited from Obama's outlandish spending.
The Republican Leadership certainly does not want the drastic cutbacks in spending the Conservatives are demanding.
Thus the Republican Leadership is going to nominate a person with identical beliefs to a Democratic Liberal to keep the Federal spending machine going at full throttle.
Both Parties hidden adage and most sacred principal is::::
“Let The Good Times Roll On Forever.”
Mittens the Manager can deliver that.
So He gets the job if Obama fails the Ruling Class.

Nullification....I think not Clint
Just keep thinking those happy thoughts about Ron Paul as the Republican nominee.
But do not freak out after Tampa Florida has come and gone.

"We" means KKKlint and his multiple identities that he uses to post to attempt to create the illusion there are actual persons who agree with him.
Dixie Pixie| 5.7.12 @ 12:37AM
Micky....You may be right.
However I am still going with the multitude of cats theory.
It is far more funny.

Billy the bigot can turn any legitimate conversation into a bigoted display...
--None of this has to do with Amigos...
--Illegal Immigration has been a problem...
So Billy the Bigot sees his opening at turn for and twists the issues to say something about getting rid of another race of people....
The Hispanics got of easy....considering what Billy the Bigot called black people.
