Rumble, rumble...

Something woke me up from my catnap on the couch this afternoon...

It was the sound of thunder, and it was so close that it woke me up.

I've been following the drinking astronauts story over the last couple of days, and it looks like yet another big story with wobbly legs. One astronaut participated in the officially sanctioned Russian pre-launch rituals, a standard set by Yuri Gagarin over four decades ago, and the other one got sauced after a shuttle mission was scrubbed. In other words, there's no basis in fact for this story that everyone's running with on the Main$tream Media.

Typical of the M$M to sensationalize a rumor, and not bother with the facts.
