Wordless Wednesday: The Great Projector of Presidential Debates

The Zeiss Mark VI Projector
I visited Adler Planetarium and got a shot of the infamous "overhead projector" Senator McCain mentioned in Presidential Debate #2. Can't wait for tonight's Debate.

  1. That's an interesting shot. I will be watching the debate too although I'm already sure I'll vote for Obama. Sometimes I think I watch both party's conventions and then the debates just to get my blood pressure up.

  3. Looks to me like he could find something a bit more important to fixate on.

    You might want to stop over at Smarmoofus Spot tonight at 9... she's hosting a "debate party" again... the last two were pretty neat.

  6. Happy WW! I imagine that the number of visits and website hits for this science facility went up exponentially after last week's debate...

    Thanx for your earlier visit! I invite your blog readers to see how bi-partisanship could work if we simply had a common purpose.

  7. Happy WW! Frankly, I'm a little nervous about the debate. I've read that McCain is planning to go negative and try to get Obama all flustered.

    I haven't watched any of them yet. Too stressful. I just read about it afterwards.

  8. Great shot. I wasn't aware of the furore over the planetarium. McCain sounded pretty stupid in mmy view.

  10. Not quite the one-bulb, two-mirror thing we're used to in the classroom! That's funny.

    (PS Don't know if that image was of Talib Kweli!)

  13. I'm a little late for WW, but guess what -- McCain DID bring up the projector again in tonight's debate. Hah! Very prescient of you to post this for WW this week. ;-}

  14. Yes, McCain did do the projector thing again, but he probably doesn't understand what these things do anyway.

  16. jams: yeah Mccain is all twisted about it.

    Toia: thanks.

    Stan: I think you're right on. he's really uninformed about the device. He needs better advisers on science matters/funding i think

    lariene: thanks, I've been trying for an appropriate photo for a while. The next challenge is to get a good pic for each season.

    Thanks everyone for visiting. next week's WW photo theme is BLUR. I've got one ready for it.
