Last Chance Until 2007:

Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight!: “Skywatchers on half the planet are gearing up to watch Earth’s shadow consume a blood-red Moon tonight in the last total lunar eclipse until 2007.

Weather permitting, the easy-to-watch event will be visible across most of North and South America, Western Europe and Africa. It will be webcasted live from several locations, and glimpses might be televised during Game 4 of the World Series.

The eclipse begins at shortly after 8 p.m. ET (5 PT), but the first hour or so won’t be noticeable as the Moon becomes lightly shaded by Earth’s outer shadow, called the penumbra. Things get real interesting at 9:14 p.m. ET (6:14 PT, when the Moon begins sliding into Earth’s full shadow, or umbra.” (Yahoo! News)

‘Monster Mash’ Revived As Anti-Bush Song

‘Just in time for Halloween comes a new version of the 1960s hit “Monster Mash” — this time an Internet critique of the Bush administration’s environmental policies.

The new version, a flash video called “Monster Slash,” features the original singer, Bobby “Boris” Pickett, taking President Bush to task for policies to promote logging and mining.

…In less than a week since its release, the song has already generated more than 100,000 unique visitors to a special Web site, www.monsterslash.org, according to its sponsors, the Campaign to Protect America’s Lands and Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

Pickett, who hit Number 1 on the charts with “Monster Mash” in 1962, said he agreed to record the new version “because, like millions of people, I think this president has the worst environmental record in the history of our great nation.” ‘ (Yahoo! News )
