Very cool, Don!  We'll be 'lining up' for autographed copies of the book!

That's great, Don! It's good that you are getting some recognition for your hard work.

It gets worse: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14786868/

Amusing that NBC fiddled with the wording in Leonard's article and broke most of my quotes.  They also deleted the phrase "glad to see socialism decline".  Hehe.  I'm sure whoever wrote that copy had absolutely no idea what the story was about.  But Leonard on space.com was very good (he saw the image in my blog and contacted me yesterday).

Damn!  Ain't it great to be in the presence of greatness?

One day, I'll do something like that.  One day.....

Onya Don!
