Does it all really sound stable to you?

US halts 24-hour Fukushima monitoring

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it has halted 24-hour monitoring of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as conditions are slowly stabilizing there.

The commission announced on Monday that it was adjusting its response as Japan continues to implement its shutdown plan. But it said the US team of experts in Japan will remain in place and it will continue to support them and coordinate response efforts with federal and industry partners.

Meanwhile, the State Department is continuing to recommend that US citizens avoid travel within a 50-mile, or 80-kilometer, radius of the Fukushima plant. But it said based on studies, it believes it is safe to use the railway and expressway to transit through the area.

7. I don't have internet in the barn. Maybe someday

but my horse forgets he is a gelding and he is smart enough he would look up sexy pictures of mares.

9. Ha Ha Ha, that is a really funny vision to feature...

Reminds me of those ETrade commercials with the voice-dubbed baby.

The one I saw this weekend had him kvetching about being sent to his crip because he was caught riding the dog like a horse, and there he was, with a notebook draped over the crib rail, he was day-trading. Then his mother comes and takes it away too.

This campaign is so funny. In another one very much like that one, he pulls out an I-Phone with ETrade apps from under the pillow after having the notebook confiscated.

Really funny.

I could see your horse day trading and watching horsey porn.

Too funny.

Is that in CO or NM? Or both?

8. Of course it's stable

Don't look for George W. Bush and Trent Lott to be sharing a mint julep on the porch of the Fukushima plant anytime soon, but sure it's stable! Trust us. Besides, no monitoring, no cause for alarm. Now, please take off your shoes, your belt, your hat and your underwear for the nice TSA agent before you can be allowed to board this plane. Because that's alarm we can manage and manipulate.

10. Well, a stable meltdown -- a stable chain reaction burning stable holes in Reactor 1.

Stable nuclear contamination of the environment, likely to escalate in a stable upward-accelerating curve.

[Generic Other]

11. We are doing a better job monitoring the situation

than our own government, the scientific community and the mainstream media.

That's messed up.

[Taverner]

12. No. Not in the least.

Whether that will affect us here in the US or not remains to be seen, but clearly they are in meltdown mode LITERALLY
