I saw it last night. On the TN-AL line. Wasn't all that bright, but noticeable. Lasted maybe 10 minutes. A dullish red....

You ever notice that the name for our sun -- Sol -- is the same as the acronym for S**t Outta Luck?

Second "Y-Class" Mega FlareHouston TX - As NASA scintists puzzled over how to best protect the global telecommunications network, former presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan blamed the entire crisis on the plethora of immigrants from Mexico and the Third World, claiming that such things weren't a bother until they came along. Ron Paul, a congressman from Texas, was asked for corroboration to Buchanan's remarks.
"I can't speak to Mr. Buchanan's worldview, we try not to judge extremes as much as those evil radical centrists do. I can say that if it weren't for this president's shameful record of empire building, there would be no need for a top class worldwide communication network." Lew Rockwell was quietly listening in to the interview, and suddenly interjected "[i]ts all Lincoln's fault".
