Josh, you do know that Sputnik News is a propaganda outlet of the Russian govt., don't you?

You're getting worse than Al when he had that "Weekly World News" subscription. I was never so glad to see a tabloid go out of business than I was the demise of the WWN. He spent an entire summer back in the 80's going on about talking bears and trying to sell people something called the "Amazing Bigfoot Diet."

I ain't buyin' nothin' Putin is pushin'. Bigfoot's included or not!

Don't ask me how I know this MDK, but that's the best headlines from a single edition of the WWN circa '83/'84. The boys added music, along with that snazzy chorus and the rest is history. Another super smash hit from the Lennon and McCartney of the 80's.

If the youth of today would only follow Mojo's sterling example of polite self-expression and Skid's style in dress and facial hair, this country would be a much better place to live in.

Just remember: an eclipse happens when the sun moves between the earth and the moon. The reflected radiation from the moon is out of phase with the sun, and cancels out most of the sun's radiation. However, not all is canceled, hence the danger of eye injury from the remnant that gets through. Hence, don't look!

Have you decided on which box you'll be observing with tomorrow, Al? Check the wind speed before you go up on the roof. You've got to know it to get the approx. wind load. Wind load is crucial when you're on the roof with a box on your head.

I have a lot of experience with looking at incandescent celestial bodies; I have been watching Belinda for decades. I will be ok, but the sun might suffer from its presumption.

When I see anything on fake news outlets such as cnn, msnbc, cbs, I always verify the story via sputnik. If sputnik says it's legit it's legit, droog moy.
