If you were curious as to why New Mexico’s state budget is in such good shape, the tax situation explained here will help you to understand.

Groups detect cesium in area spring. Plutonium’s been detected in the mud along Cochiti Lake, perchlorate in other wells. LANL believes groundwater contamination can’t be happening this swiftly. All I can say is, thank goodness I’m not on a water system pulling from the Rio Grande.

OPML list of spammer IP’s. They take submissions.
Well,
that’s thoroughly put me off weblogging for the day. See ya later.
NY Times Guest Opinon:
Bush’s Reagan Moment. Gag. Look at the numbers, folks. The author also ignores the fact that 18 million jobs in the 80’s doesn’t compare with 24 million created in the inflation-ridden 70’s. More numbers.
Continuing the Reagan-era practice of (as Abe Lincoln put it) having such a high regard for the truth, that one uses it sparingly. A completely worthless piece.

Increasing terrorist attacks in Afghanistan prevent rebuilding: UN official. “As a result, UN missions were temporarily suspended in Nimroz, Helmund, Uruzgan and Zabul provinces, he said.

Scientific American:
Clay may have encouraged first cells to form. “The lightning came down, and hit the mud. And the mud got up.” From old memory, lyrics from a song by a local Princeton band, 80’s, “The Groceries.”
The Register:
People are turning their backs on email, because of spam. “... new data from a national survey suggest that spam is beginning to undermine the integrity of email and to degrade the online experience.” Someone actually paid for a survey, to figure that out?

Behr housepaints have ‘net color pickers. I wonder ... should you flash a “Behr” logo, if you take their suggestions in designing a website?

One of those ‘synchronicity’ days. I mention British sports cars below, and then catch this obit for Peter Morgan. You will probably recognize the Morgan sports car, though you might not have known its marque. Rest in peace, sir.

Mysterious spot on Jupiter. Nobody’s mentioning it, but didn’t we just dump a nuclear-powered spacecraft into the atmosphere? Probably too small to have any observable effects ... but then again, who knows? Via MeFi.
