Dirty-tricks once more, this time against Rubio!

Perhaps the reason why evangelicals didn't vote for Cruz is because he lies?

The Cruz campaign tweeted links to a story that was about a video that shows Rubio walking into a hotel lobby past Cruz's father Rafael and a staffer reading the Bible, and subtitles in the video misquote Rubio as saying, "Got a good book there, not many answers in it."

In a corrected version of the video tweeted by Rubio's communications director, Alex Conant, the subtitles quote Rubio saying, "Got a good book there, all the answers are in there."

I've been wanting to improve my imaging mount. I had a Celestron CGEM and sold it on here two weeks ago. I still have an Ioptron ZEQ25 that I like because of the portability of it. I have been looking at the Ioptron CEM60 without the encoders. Someone said ES is coming out with a new one in April. New mounts seem to have their problems during first run. The $2500 is my max. I have a Williams GTF81 and a 6 inch acro from AstroZap. Some time later I would like to get a refractor in the 112 to 120 range. My camera is an Sbig STT8300 non guided filter wheel.

"This week, in the Utah nominating caucus, I will vote for Senator Ted Cruz.

Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence. I am repulsed by each and every one of these.

The only path that remains to nominate a Republican rather than Mr. Trump is to have an open convention. At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Senator Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible.

I like Governor John Kasich. I have campaigned with him. He has a solid record as governor. I would have voted for him in Ohio. But a vote for Governor Kasich in future contests makes it extremely likely that Trumpism would prevail.

I will vote for Senator Cruz and I encourage others to do so as well, so that we can have an open convention and nominate a Republican."

After all the assurances from the conservatives that the pipeline was safe, the thing leaks out in S. Dakota:
http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/04/news/keystone-pipeline-oil-spill-south-dakota/index.html
Now a 187 gallons might not seem like much, but you wouldn't want it in your living room, or in your backyard. The source of the leak has yet to be identified, so let's consider one possibility. Perhaps one hunter, exercising his CONSTITUTIONAL right to bear arms, goes hunting for prairie dogs with a .50 cal sniper rifle and misses the varmint but hits the pipeline instead! Greg, have you been active?

It's an ancient message about life in general. Ted Cruz rose to prominence by lying and slandering his fellow Republican colleagues in his own party to the parties detriment. He is now getting thumped in his own parties primary by a Republican who is lying and slandering him to the parties detriment.

It's known as what goes around comes around. Buddhists call it Karma. Germans celebrate it as Schadenfreude. The Bible describes it perfectly: What you sow you reap.

I noticed that Rush, Hannity, and Levin were all absent from their radio programs Friday. AFAIK, it was an unannounced absence. Any thoughts on this? :S I just thought it was somewhat odd.
