First she?s going to have to survive the next few weeks. Anonymous sources from within the McCain campaign are popping up everywhere in the media, accusing Palin of throwing tantrums, of not knowing that Africa was a continent, of being a profligate spender. There's always a circular firing squad after a losing campaign, and Palin is standing right in the middle of this one. RNC lawyers are coming to Alaska to hold her to account for some of the more than $150,000 spent on clothing and luggage. The first step in plotting her future is finding...

If Antoni Gaudí had been a hobbit, he might have designed something just like...

I'm hoping to find a cross-section that is sufficient for me to pull that off on the ISS. Most of the areas are too small, but there may be a couple of modules that have gone up that don?...
