All I want for Christmas ...
A black hole blasting an immense jet of energy into a neighbouring galaxy has been observed by astronomers for the first time.
In a burst of galactic violence recorded by astronomers in the US space agency's ground and space-based observatories, the black hole of a "death star" is seen shooting the jet of radiation into the adjacent galaxy, NASA said.
The jet is so powerful that it wipes out any life in its path.
"We've seen many jets produced by black holes, but this is the first time we've seen one punch into another galaxy like we're seeing here," said Dan Evans, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and leader of the study.
"This jet could be causing all sorts of problems for the smaller galaxy it is pummeling," said Mr Evans, who led the research team making the discovery.
And they thought global warming was bad.

then again it's probably best to go back in hibernation. When you have Nabsucov and Laime welcoming you back you know something's rotten in Denmark.
Homer is now supporting Nazi economics by the way. He's been furiously putting up a sterling defense in support of Da Fuhrer's " economic" plan over at Catallaxy.

I'll have a go at those comments. The software that drives this website is still undergoing development and bug-fixing, so if I can't fix it I'll talk to the webmaster.

EP, it's great your back!
I found it very hard to delete you off my blogroll when I discovered your old blog had died. I always considered you to be one of the more logical of conservative pundits - able to argue without engaging personal attacks, death threats or saying that Hitler was really a Lefty* as so many RWDB are prone to do.
I will now take great pleasure in adding you back to my blogroll.
Now keep on blogging!!
* No is side of politics has a monopoly on evil or Hitler for that matter!
