I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

I laugh like hell every time I see it.  Surprised it hasn't gone viral.  I loved that guy who stayed behind and gave it a couple of little extra pushes to make sure it got going.

Probably the project engineer.

I didn't know this, but it was part of Thailand's Bun Bang Fai, or rocket festival.

There are times when I think some other countries are a lot more free than the U.S.
