“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas

Palindrome day
Today's date is a rare palindrome...01-11-10. Rarer still is having two palindromes in the same month which we'll have on 01-22-10. It's like a blue moon which, by the way, we will have on Jan 30th....cool!

Ed, good point on the date, but I have to question your on the "blue moon." We had a blue, or 2nd full moon in a month, on Dec 31, 2009. Are you basing this on the moon still being full on Jan 1, 2010? The US Naval Observatory site doesn't say that.
Bill, you may be right. After I posted yesterday, I questioned the accuracy of my source...some website dedicated to blue-moons. Perhaps they were mistaken when they predicted back in the summer, a blue moon in January. I would defer to the USNO over pretty much anybody.
