I'm holding my side. "If you doubt whether a planet can explode - you need to see a witness report of a planetary explosion in our Solar system. Plato (428-348 BC) reported that the explosion of the planet Phaeton had been perceived by our ancestors on Earth to be as bright as lightning...".
Interesting... I did a VERY quick google search and found what is probably the basis for this story: A Press Release put out by Chalko on MarketWire back on the 17th. Here is a link to the release at Yahoo!
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080617/0408064.html
Chalko looks like he should be building mail bombs in a tiny cabin in Montana.
The standard liberal answer to every question of its kookiness is “Because I can”! Applies here just as it does to the 17 kookie HS girls who got pregnant and will raise 17 kids to the same ‘rule’!....gratis our Blue Dress Stain-in-chief!
Watching Rather was like watching a monkey in its cage (doing what a monkey does best)....CBS is just a zoo full of monkeys!
Sounds suspiciously like the same traits that TereTza loved in JFn Kerry! Is he running for office in Australia?
Thomas P. “Boston” Corbett (1832 – presumed dead 1894) was the Union Army soldier who shot and killed Abraham Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth. He disappeared after 1888 and is believed to have died in Minnesota in 1894, but this is unproven.

[edit] Early life
Corbett was born in London, England. His family emigrated to New York City in 1839. He eventually took on the trade of a hatter in Troy, New York. There has been speculation that the use of mercury as part of the hatter’s trade was the cause of Corbett’s later mental problems.
Corbett married, but his wife died in childbirth. Following her death, he moved to Boston, and continued working as a hatter. He became a born-again evangelical Christian and changed his name to Boston. Trying to imitate Jesus[citation needed], he began to wear his hair very long.[citation needed] On July 16, 1858, in order to avoid the temptation of prostitutes, Corbett castrated himself[citation needed] with a pair of scissors.[citation needed] Afterward, he ate a meal and went to a prayer meeting, before going for medical treatment.[citation needed]
[edit] Enlisted in the Union army
Corbett joined the Union army at the outbreak of the American Civil War. He re-enlisted three times and eventually obtained the rank of Sergeant in the 16th New York Cavalry. He was captured by the Confederate Army on June 24, 1864, and was held captive at Andersonville prison. He was eventually exchanged and returned to his unit. He later testified for the prosecution in the trial of the commandant of Andersonville, Captain Henry Wirz.
[edit] Assigned to pursue John Wilkes Booth

On April 24, 1865, Corbett was one of the cavalrymen sent to pursue John Wilkes Booth, who had assassinated Abraham Lincoln and was still at large. On April 26, they surrounded Booth and his accomplice, David Herold, in a tobacco barn on the Virginia farm of Richard Garrett. The barn was set on fire to try to force them out. Herold surrendered, but Booth remained inside. Corbett was positioned by a large crack in the barn wall. He saw Booth moving about inside and shot him with his Colt revolver despite Secretary of War Stanton’s desire that Booth be taken alive. Booth was struck in the neck, the bullet injuring his spinal cord, and he died a few hours later.
Corbett was immediately arrested for disobeying orders, but the charges were later dropped by the Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton. Later, Stanton said, “The rebel is dead. The patriot lives.” Corbett received his share of the reward money, amounting to $1,653.84.
In his official statement, Corbett claimed he shot Booth because he thought Lincoln’s assassin was getting ready to use his weapons. This was denied by other witnesses. When asked later why he did it, he said that “God Almighty directed me.”

[edit] Civilian life after the Union army
Shortly after being discharged from the army, Corbett returned to his trade of being a hatter, first in Boston, and later in Connecticut and New Jersey.
His later life involved increasingly erratic behavior. In 1875, he threatened several men with a pistol at a soldier’s reunion in Caldwell, Ohio. In 1878, he moved to Concordia, Kansas, where he lived in a hole dug into a hillside. In 1887, he was appointed assistant doorkeeper of the Kansas House of Representatives in Topeka, Kansas. Overhearing a conversation in which the legislature’s opening prayer was mocked, he jumped to his feet, pulled out his revolver, and waved his gun. No one was hurt but Corbett was arrested, declared insane, and sent to the Topeka Asylum for the Insane. On May 26, 1888, Corbett escaped from the asylum. He went to Neodesha, Kansas, and stayed briefly with Richard Thatcher, a man he had met during his imprisonment at Andersonville in the Civil War. When he left, he said he was heading for Mexico. Corbett possibly settled in the forests near Hinckley, Minnesota and died in the Great Hinckley Fire that took place there on September 1, 1894. There is no definitive proof of his demise, but the name “Thomas Corbett” appears on the list of the dead and missing.
There is a Boston Corbett roadside monument just outside of Concordia, Kansas.
Be sure to book at least 2 weeks in advance and cough up $15 per bag when you leave this plane of existence.
Quite a guy....
He has a nice web site...another example of why the MSM hates bloggers that capture what they feed to the public...and don’t like copies... prior to their revisions ...available to the masses.
Thanks,...next time I am out that way I’ll look for it.
Congress has the same credibility as the National Enquirer.
We have to stop Continental Drift right now. Down with capitalism!

It’s actually nothing more than a press release that they reworded... What I can’t believe is how in the world they mistook this for an AP article! Something is fishy with that particular story...
Tom Chalko on stage at Mt Best Hall in April 2005 playing Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francesco Tarrega, one of the most influential guitar players and composers of all time. Tom will also play some of his own compositions
Mount Best Hall - This is the main meeting and social gathering place on the mountain and is host to the famous Mount Best Art Show held every Easter. A very popular event which showcases art, photography and craft work from the talented local 'tree-changers' (people who have moved from the city to retire in the peaceful surrounds) as well as the long time local folk.
perhaps he suffers from Altitude Sickness?
