Not after hearing about the overhead projector.

2. Isn't an "overhead projector" what makes a planetarium work?
You know, that thing that projects the stars and stuff overhead?

7. Um...yes...
And they're EXPENSIVE. The Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill is ponying up at LEAST that much for a new one. I'll bet if a planetarium in Arizona had wanted one, John would have been pleased to oblige!:eyes:

B-)

9. Yeah, I was hoping Obama was going to come back on that one. :)
Maybe it'll show up in the MSM somewhere.

19. No actually, McBush hasn't supported any improvements for Arizonans in almsot a decade
There are earmarks and then there is support of the public well being.

He's been so concerned with winning the Presidency that he's NEGLECTED his carpetbagger home state AGREGIOUSLY!

A lot of earmarks and so called "pork barrel spending" supports things like hospitals and schools, highways and trains.

John McBush only cares about his lobbyist friends, but when it comes to helping the people he's supposed to represent: if you don't make over 4 million dollars a year he couldn't care less about you. Sack of human filth that he is.

10. Well, I suppose, if you're using the term very oddly.
I mean, that kind of projector surely has a different name. An overhead projector is the thing pictured above or maybe the VGA projector they have in meeting rooms and classrooms where it projects a computer display.

Actually, my local planetarium did away with the star projector almost 20 years ago when they "upgraded" to a digital projection system. Now it looks fake as hell. I miss the good old realistic sky the projector gave, and I miss when they'd spin it at top speed during laser rock shows. In this instance, fuck progress.

12. Bzzzzt!
Sorry, I said "anymore", not "any more". "Anymore" means "any longer" and is correct in this context.

But thanks for playing.

Sorry if you were offended.

11. Funny thing is that McSame voted for the bear DNA
I wonder if the guys writing his lines tonight made sure to check if McSame voted for the projector. Otherwise I'll be laughing my ass off tomorrow when Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow come on.

18. Looks like the projector was a Zeiss
I am not fortunate enough to own any Zeiss optics, but I'm sure it was a bargain. :P

As far as the bill goes, it will take a sharper Googler than I to figure it out. I hit a bunch of dead ends. :(

17. Yeah... Technical Equipment used for education..
vs. his VP's $3,000,000 for DNA research of seals or something?

Why even bring this up? It makes him look idiotic.
