Just happened to watch a doco about The Party Of Reagan yesterday.And happened to see a doco on the history of advertising the week before, where they featured his re-election TV ad, voiced by the guy who wrote the ad, brilliant. First time I had seen it, I am not an American.What a namby liberal he was compared to today’s scenario. He wouldn’t get a Democrat nomination nowadays.
Sitting a long time well-nigh motionless on a cold, frozen roof in mid-winter can do that to a young scholar. —Nice penmanship for a freezing chap, though….
@vw … That might be why “the western sky is looking particularly empty.” That third moon would be Ganymede. And I don’t think he could see any activity on any of Jupiter’s moons with that telescope—especially in the city. Ha.
At this time of year, Cygnus is setting at sunset, and is difficult in the haze along the horizon. Even with a small telescope 3 miles from Downtown Boston, you can see Jupiter’s 4 largest moons. Can’t tell if there’s any activity on them, but they change from night to night.
Only economics-challenged leftists – but I repeat myself – think there is anything called “trickle-down economics.” It is uncontrolled government spending that trickles on us all.

Actually, John F. Kennedy was a strong proponent for “trickle down” economics.
