Lieberman can be stripped "at any time"?
[…] have the ability to just do whatever he wants. The caucus still has the right to remove him from that position at any time if he starts going off on some kind of tangent. Is this true? There's an awful lot riding on it, isn't there? I'd hate for it not to be true, after he just assured millions of Americans that it was, on national TV. But my reading is that it just isn't so. Remember when Senators Sherrod Brown and Dianne Feinstein told their constituents that this decision wasn't […] read

Waiting (Gravitational) Tables [Built on Facts]
[…] on the left: Now we see that the mass appears on both sides, so it cancels. We also know that the sine of theta is for small angles approximately equal to the tangent of theta. And tangent of theta is the side opposite over the side adjacent. This puts our differential equation in this form: Now it's immediately clear if you've been in the physics business a while that this is the differential equation describing simple harmonic motion. It's the same kind of thing as a pendulum […] read

Sarah's Shiny Science: all you need for this experiment is some sticky tape
I was shocked when my nana rang me the other day to ask what I would like for Christmas, but she quickly pointed out that it is ONLY EIGHT WEEKS ON THURSDAY!!! Yikes. If like me you would rather put that scary thought to the back of your mind and go off on a bit of a tangent, then here's an interesting discovery: scientists have found that X-rays are emitted when a roll of sticky tape is unwound in a vacuum. read

Telling An Orbitz Rep What A Blogger Is [Orbitz]
There was an amusing little tangent in my conversation yesterday with an Orbitz rep when I went to change my ticket. Talking with her was the first time I've ever hinted to a telephone customer... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]] read

re: You Guys Are Nuts
Andy, this is not disagreement with your analysis so much as a tangent from it. I too think McCain has largely failed to make Obama look like the radical his background suggests he is or at least once was. (I mean M has failed both tonight and throughout the campaign.) I did, however, find M's style rather combative tonight. He sounded liked the feisty old codger he is. But the substance of his attacks was relatively trivial: […] read

ABA Says RIAA File Sharing Watchers Shouldn't Need Private Investigators' Licenses
[…] requirements for PI licenses are really just a way to create artificial scarcity in the PI business, not actually a way to ensure safety or quality. The RIAA's efforts to sue music fans have plenty of problems, but focusing on whether or not companies like MediaSentry need a PI license seems like a tangent that takes away from the bigger picture.

TV Recap: Army Wives - Uncharted Territory
Of everything in this episode, I was most intrigued by what was going on with Pamela. Sure, the Carla/Steve story was a total tangent from everything else that was going on but all the same, it was kind of refreshing to have some new drama on the show. And as much as part of me wants everyone to be over Amanda?s death, I think it?s good in a ?real? sort of way […] read
