Where, oh where...

Where, oh where ... shall we look for the next Democratic presidential candidate?  Via my mogul brother Mark, who has the misfortune to live in New Jersey, where this particular candidate search procedure is one of the more refined in use...

Politically incorrect joke of the day...

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the barman, 'Isn't that Trump and Cruz sitting over there?'

The bartender says, 'Yep, that's them.'

So the guy walks over and says, 'Wow, this is a real honor! What are you guys doing in here?'

Cruz says, 'We're planning WW III.'

The guy says, 'Really? What's going to happen?'

Trump says, 'Well, we're going to kill 140 million Muslims and one blonde with a big chest.'

The guy exclaimed, 'A blonde with a big chest? Why kill her?'

Trump turns to Cruz and says, 'See, I told you, no one gives a crap about the 140 million Muslims.'

Paradise ponders...

Paradise ponders...  It's early morning on a white Paradise.  I took the photo at right a few minutes ago from our (second floor) TV room window, facing north.  The temperature is about 25°F, and there's no wind.  Last night we had about a half inch of new snowfall – not quite enough to plow out of the driveway, but just enough to make ice under the truck wheels.  It's a Communist plot!

Pluto...

Pluto ... is a very weird place, as evidenced by this recently downlinked photo from New Horizon's flyby a few months ago.  What the heck made those dents in its surface?

The moons of Saturn...

The moons of Saturn ... all lined up for Cassini to photograph...

Potential advance in Alzheimer's treatment...  This sounds very hopeful!
