What - the same Bill Richardson who opened a talk with lab employees by calling us "eggheads"? The same dude that lost his temper when asked about the accuracy of polygraphs, ending up shouting, "Just take the damn test!!!" - that Bill?

Now accused of partying like his boss, the OTHER Bill.

i would not be surprised at all. But let's wait until all the evidence is at hand before we convict and hang the guy. It'd be a much fairer treatment than he gave Lab employees.

I find this so hard to believe. I guy who threw Los Alamos under the bus? By the way everybody knew these stories about Bill even when he was governor.

This is sort of an aside, but a few years ago I was talking to the owner of a local (ABQ) cigar store about Richardson. Said he came in one time and they showed him around. He picked out some cigars and then demanded not to pay for them. Don’t know how they resolved that, but they thought he was a major hole.

Same Bill Richardson who had a huge poster of his face placed in Times Square paid for by the New Mexico dept of tourism. He is as worthless and corrupt as they come.

Even before that, when he was Third District US Representative (Northern NM including Los Alamos). He would speak in three communities in the same day and change his speech to make sure he told each community (for example, Los Alamos vs Espanola) what they wanted to hear, contradicting himself daily.

Now he's in the hospital with COVID-19, closely following Trump. Politics aside, I hope he gets well quickly.

??? I have found nothing about Bill Richardson being in the hospital with Covid. I think you are confusing him with Chris Christie who just checked into a hospital. I guess he looks a bit like Bill Richardson. True both are Governors but one is from New Mexico and the other is from NJ, one is Democrat and one Republican. Even though you got the wrong guy I hope you still want him to get well soon.

Yeah, lots of marginal awareness of the world here on this blog.

What is your point? You say that Bill Richardson is sick when he is not and now you blame the blog? I think self awareness is a bigger issue for you than marginal awareness. Just saying.

It would appear that the driving force for these charges being pressed now is that the statute of limitations of these crimes expires in 2021.

Why do we care about the crimes of Bill Richardson when we have the worlds greatest criminal in the white house. I doubt Bill Richardson personally killed 200k people, drove around a hospital like a 3rd dictator.

Hey Dude, give him a break! Putin's Puppet is just following orders. After all, what could possibly be more important than a few Trump Towers in Russia?

Hey Scooby does this meet the "off-topic" criteria yet?

You are right. Missed. Filtering through reading. Sometimes, this 😩 happens.

As a matter of curiosity, just how many American hostages of foreign dictators did Bill Richardson negotiate the release of?

Evan Hunziker, Eliadah McCord, Paul Salopek and a couple of others might argue with you. Stick to the facts.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
