Monday Morning Smile

I used to watch Brian Williams when I watched the national news, a long time ago. As the replacement for Tom Brokaw, he seemed like a good, honest newscaster.

Over the weekend it was apparent that he wasn't as honest as he appeared.

He is currently on hiatus or "the next several days".

An NBC source claims that "Brokaw wants Williams' head on a platter. He is making a lot of noise at NBC that a lesser journalist or producer would have been immediately fired or suspended for a false report."

This came about when Williams admitted to being 'not so accurate' in telling on NBC that while he was in Iraq in 2003, he was flying in a helicopter that "was forced down after being hit by an RPG." Lie.

Then came the lie he told about what he saw during Hurricane Katrina

As you might expect, the internet exploded when these lies aired. Memes are sprouting up everywhere. Here are some of my favorites:

Apologies for the late post. I was caught up in absolutely nothing and just forgot to post.

I have a dark sense of humor and find this vine funny. If it offends you, I'm sorry

Serious History Our Kids need to know

29 Years

January 28, 1986 around 10:40 AM CST?

Do you know where you were? I do, the exact spot I was standing.

Working at the Michoud Assembly Facility supporting the Space Shuttle Program, It was a habit to go to the nearest television monitor and watch the launches. We all held our breath until the Shuttle was inserted into orbit, then returned to our desks to resume our work.

Launches were "textbook" by 1986, everyone knowing what came when the bird blasted off.

Here's a script of the communications between the astronauts and command center.

When the words "go with throttle up" everything for the Space Shuttle Program changed.

In this photo from Jan. 9, 1986, the Challenger crew takes a break during countdown training at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Left to right are Teacher-in-Space payload specialist Sharon Christa McAuliffe; payload specialist Gregory Jarvis; and astronauts Judith A. Resnik, mission specialist; Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, mission commander; Ronald E. McNair, mission specialist; Mike J. Smith, pilot; and Ellison S. Onizuka, mission specialist.

The Program went through so many changes from January 1986 until September 1988, when the redesigned system launched again.

After we started launching again, I cringed every time the "go for throttle up" command was given, right down to the last launch in 2011.

The Space Shuttle Program history, with new programs gearing up for launches to Mars and beyond.

A huge thank you to ALL of us who were part of this awesome, exciting 30 year ride.
