I get a kick out of the Council Bluffs Cowboy. We grew up in the same town except when I was going into grade 7 he was enjoying the fruits of high school graduation.
Very few Americans know this but there was a landing on the Mars today. Note to liberals: Mars is a planet and in this case not a candy bar company.
The Cowboy had a few thoughts on the landing and forwarded them along to me.
I happened to walk through the living room, on the way upstairs, earlier today. Pat(the spouse) had CNN on (I gave up hoping she might wise up) and it was a couple minutes before touchdown on Mars. The cameras were on the NASA control room staff - 2 or 3 dozen workers. The one thing I could not understand was why weren't the CNN commentators pointing out that there were very few women and no blacks among the NASA workers. And apparently there were no other-gendered folks either as I didn't see any hugging and kissing as the workers congratulated each other. Why CNN failed to report these "problems" is beyond me.
