While looking through a few pictures a friend (thanks, Gail!) sent me from the recent patriotic, anti-big government, anti-tax march on September 12, 2009 in Washington, D.C., I came across the following photo: My curiosity peaked. I contacted the group directly and they said I could re-print anything I wished from their website: http://freedomnuts.org Here's just a small sampling: WALNUT is billed as "the conservative answer to ACORN." WALNUT stands for "WORKERS AGAINST LAZY NON-PRODUCERS UNITED TOGETHER Their motto: "We aren't organizing a community, we're organizing a country."

A giant ridge girdles Saturn's satellite Iapetus - making the moon look like a walnut shell - reveal the latest images from the Cassini-Huygens mission. Scientists are at a loss to explain the feature, which is unique in the solar system. The Cassini spacecraft flew past Iapetus on New Year's Day, approaching to within 123,400 kilometres of the moon's surface. Its camera captured the most detailed images of Iapetus yet, revealing wisps of dark material and two-tone craters. But the ridge is the greatest surprise to scientists. It extends for at least 1300 km, following the equator exactly. In...
