AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

RUSH, heads up!
Be sure to watch for the unusual meteorite showers from Comet 209P Linear's old trails, TONIGHT just after 01:21 AM Eastern Time until 04:17 AM Eastern Time.
I think a lot of us will have cloud cover tonight.

We enter that debris trail May 23 through May 25, 2013, for 30 hours, with the peak density forecasted May 24, 2014 at the 7th hour Universal Time,
which should be 1 am Central Daylight Savings TIme.
3 Hours, 52 minutes, and 50 seconds of debris we'll be traveling through, with the center of the peak at 7:21 UT would mean

we would enter the dark area at 11:25 pm Central Daylight Time, May 23, 2014,
and come out of the dark area at 3:17 am Central Daylight Time, May 24, 2014.

A few things to look at and consider:

Comet 209P/LINEAR Earth Flyby Simulation ( 0:26 )

SpaceRef

This simulation was created by Associate Professor Paul Wiegert of Western University's Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration (CPSX). It shows the path of Comet 209P/Linear. The resulting Carmelopardalis meteor shower scheduled to peak overnight on May 23rd could be spectacular for residents of North America.

The Changing Orbit of Comet 209P/LINEAR

An AstroGrav video that shows a simulation of the changing orbit of Comet 209P/LINEAR between the years AD 1700 and AD 2100. The comet's orbit is currently inclined at an angle of approximately 20 degrees to the Earth's orbit, and the omega symbols on its orbit indicate the ascending node and the descending node, which are the points where it crosses the plane of the Earth's orbit. To the left, the comet is above the plane of the Earth's orbit, and to the right, the comet is below the plane of the Earth's orbit. In AD 1700, the points where the comet crossed the plane of the Earth's orbit were very far from the Earth's orbit. As time passes, the comet's orbit is significantly changed due mainly to the gravitational influence of the planet Jupiter, and as a consequence, the points where the comet crosses the plane of the Earth's orbit move significantly. By AD 1787, one of these points (the descending node) had moved very close to the Earth's orbit, and is visible below the Sun in this video. It stayed in this position until AD 1845, when it moved away. In AD 2012, the descending node again moved very close to the Earth's orbit, and is visible below the centre of Monoceros in this video. It will remain in this position until AD 2046. There is no possibility of a collision with the Earth, because the comet and the Earth always arrive at the comet's descending node on different dates. Comet 209P/LINEAR is the comet associated with the Camelopardalid meteor shower of 23rd/24th May 2014.
