The new sunspots are here! The new sunspots are here!
This is hugh and series. I've been watching for them from my kitchen with my Edmund Astroscan pointed at the late afternoon sun through the sliding door, and projecting onto the ceiling with the eyepiece.
I'm happy to say that I saw this new pair before I read of its "sudden appearance" on solarcycle24.com . It was quite a thrill, I can tell you.

It's not a sunspot. It's Obama’s shadow.
He is truly the Messiah.

I like warming. It’s global cooling that kills.

There's a tiny blackhead on my nose today.
It's a little less swollen than yesterday.
There's a half-full bottle of Clearasil.
Guess I shouldn't have drunk it, 'cause I'm feeling ill...

Halleluiah, we are saved
another mini ice age avoided. Bring on the Algore propaganda machine. He has yet another chance to bilk the ignorant or their money. ;-)

Good reporting John but you did say Either Obama denounces ACORN or the MSM reports on it....I say neither will happen. Only those of us who dig for the truth actually find it and therefore we have become the real news outlets. We have to watch our own states, mine included here in North Carolina.

Actually, it is the mole from the "chosen one's" face.

Good to see a new one, but we’re gonna need more than one or two to stave off a harsh winter!

I got this funny sensation crawlin' through my flesh
and my breathing is shallow though I'm minty fresh.
Should have perused the label when I could still see
but kidneys are backed up and I have to pee...

Even the sun has been pissed that Obama is leading.
It’s a warning folks. We better heed it. (I’m not sure if I am being flippant or not.)
To: smokingfrog
Ha! you call that a sunspot?

Now, that's a sunspot you can sink your teeth into!

Regia Solis erat sublimibus alta columnis,
clara micante auro flammasque imitante pyropo,
cuius ebur nitidum fastigia summa tegebat,
argenti bifores radiabant lumine valvae.
materiam superabat opus: nam Mulciber illic
aequora caelarat medias cingentia terras
terrarumque orbem caelumque, quod imminet orbi.
- Ovid
The palace of the SUN stood high on lofty columns
bright with glittering gold and bronze that shone
like fire. Gleaming ivory crowned the gables above;
the double folding doors were radiant with burnished
silver. And the workmanship was more beautiful
than the material. For upon the doors Mulciber had
carved in relief the waters that enfold the central
earth, the circle of the lands and the sky that
overhangs the lands.
... just like my kitchen!
