Radio Wales Postcards From David Tennant and Russel T Davies.
OH BOY!
Noteworthy:
In Card Two David Talks about auditioning for a Hollywood Movie and Russell asks if they asked him to take his shirt off.
I don’t know what the answer is, I was too busy laughing.

Do you remember what happened to people who did not “respect” the flag, the US Constitution or the status quo back in the day?
Let me refresh your memory:
John Filo's iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Mary Ann Vecchio, a fourteen-year-old runaway, kneeling over the dead body of Jeffrey Miller after he was shot by the National Guard.
Alabama Protest Against Desegregation.
ST. PAUL, MN - SEPTEMBER 2: A woman is taken into custody by police near the Xcel Energy Center, the site of the 2008 Republican National Convention (RNC) September 2, 2008 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The GOP will nominate U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as the Republican choice for U.S. President on the last day of the convention. (Photo by Eric Thayer/Getty Images)
Now days you can get away with showing the same
disrespect….
assuming of course you have an elected offiical
from
The Republican Party at your side like this young woman
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA)
What else can I say besides
That’s Progress…GOP Style.

Very Cool Invitation To You From My Friend
Jade:
Attention writers, bloggers, and artists of all media: if you’re looking for a prompt or a bit of inspiration this month, consider looking for what’s hidden (or lurking) among the trees.
This September Arboreality will host The Festival of the Trees issue 39 on the theme of Secrets, and you’re all invited to join me, Jade Blackwater, and bring your friends too!
The Festival of the Trees is a monthly blog carnival featuring trees and forests. For the September Festival, our theme is Secrets:
“Forests, farms, gardens, urban trees, and ancient-rock-clinging-wind-whipped Bristlecone pine stands can be an escape, a place to hide, a space to rest, a home for buried treasure. This month, I invite you to reveal a small glimpse of a secret among the trees. Consider the quiet spots you go to sit, the trees which have stood in silent observation of the events of your life, the aromatic memory of the garden from a place you have visited. With word, image, sound, or otherwise inspired creation, give us a peek at what you see, or what you can imagine.”
Grab your free-wheeling creative license (and maybe a big, heavy club) and reveal what’s hidden in the dark, mutable forest.
Then post your creations online at your blog, photo album, or other web-based resource, and send me the link:
trees[at]brainripples[dot]com
Deadline for submissions is August 28, 2009.
Questions, comments, suggestions? Drop Jade an
email at
trees[at]brainripples[dot]com
(Don’t forget to drop breadcrumbs along the trail as you go!
…..wouldn’t want to get lost out there.)

more epic win
When I was a kid
my Mom used to buy boxes of Otter Pops
and of course
me and my brother and sister all loved Raspberry the best.
Out of a 75 Pops in a Box there was only six Raspberries in a box, which was not good.
We used to fight over them, and we argued so much my Mom was about to impose
an Otter Pop Embargo on the three of us.
So.
As I watched our supply of Otter Pops dwindling
I came up with a brilliant plan-
I told them the Lime Otter Pops
( of which were more then half of what were in the boxes )
turned your Pee Green
( get it ha ha ha )
and as they predictably fought over the Pee Green Pops
I got the blue ones
all to myself.
Yes.
This is a true story, so don’t ask.

Left to right: Armstrong, Collins, Aldrin
The Apollo 11 Crew ( and damn it, if you don’t know their names just toddle on back to your phone and Twitter or do whatever it is you’ve done to divorce yourself from the world because this post will mean nothing to you ) wants the President ( and that includes the rest of us of course ) to begin to think about returning to the Moon and to Mars.
The thing of it is, I think there is one big obstacle to making this goal and it’s not money.
The big obstacle to reaching Mars is that nobody dreams anymore.
People do not wonder anymore, they don’t imagine anymore because- well, I’m at a loss there because the human brain loves to be fed ideas and only an idiot would starve it to death, right? I mean would you deny yourself food or water because it takes to much effort on your part to open your mouth to chew and swallow?
Still.
Look around you:
Movies are based on Computer Game Characters, music sounds the same ON PURPOSE and people are walking around wired to their cellphones where they are fed ideas by a machine because God help us all if we have to create a thought on our own.
Go back to the Moon? Make it to Mars? Who is going to get us there? A Twitter Addict? A Facebook Group? An American Idol Fan? Enlighten me, because if this is where we spend most of our time I can’t see people making it to their backyard to chat with a neighbor over their fence let alone taking the time to wonder how to get to Mars.
So where does it start?
Here’s an idea, I use it myself before I write:
The next time you are flying on a plane, or sailing on a boat or a Ferry or when you see something strange where nothing strange should be visible-
Wonder about it.
