You gotta love Drudge- where else would you find stuff like this:
NASA’s mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust – it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.
Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday “ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe,” the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July, the paper said.
The probe’s comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed.
Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) – the approximate equivalent of the mission’s cost – for her “moral sufferings,” Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the paper that the experiment would “deform her horoscope.”
What are the normal punitive damage rewards for ‘deformed horoscopes?’

PZ Myers had this up a while back, I think…

What pisses me off most, and what is most damaging to our country, is the fact that support or Rove, as with Clinton, depends on party alone. Dems want Rove’s scalp, Repubs will pull no punches to defend him. The exact same thing could be said of Clinton’s attackers and defenders.
It doesn’t matter to supporters one bit if the individual on “your team” is guilty. Likewise it doen’t matter to the other side if said individual is innocent.
I think deep inside everyone knows that. Hence all the rage thrown back and forth. NOBODY wants to face the realization that they may indeed be a hypocrate and completely full of shit.
For the record, I thought Clinton was tawdry and an embarassment. Likewise I think Bush is a disgrace and cringe every time I hear the buffoon speak.

…the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday “ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe,”…
From the extremely elderly doctor’s comments above, the plaintiff may be onto something.
Cordially…

From the AP wire, the same place that Drudge found it.

LOL- Tell you what, Jefe- you keep your eyes peeled on the AP wire for stuff like that and keep me on top of the game.

You must have forgotten a ton of the Democrats that voted for impeachment, something that you’ll never find in today’s Senate. Its convenient for you to forget all the Dems that were against Clinton, forget all of the cartoons of Clinton with a knife in the back, forget all the talking points from self-hating Democrats.

You forget that Clinton had very high approval numbers, which means both Repubs and Dems supported him.
