Like many individuals around the world, I was horrified to discover that Pluto has been demoted from planet status. This arbitrary decision prompted me to create a petition, which I encourage you to sign immediately. If Pluto can so easily be discarded, how much longer before some governing body decides that Earth is no longer a planet? Then what? I ask. Then what?

UPDATE: Please see my second Pluto post for information about the online coordinated effort to “save Pluto” and the proper website you should be visiting to make your voice heard.

Not that I want to feed the Da Vinci Code machine, but I happened upon what is perhaps the best essay yet on the matter.

I have just witnessed the funniest video(s) I have seen in decades, so I thought I would pass the savings on to you, my loyal fan base. Stephen Colbert appeared at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner as the comic relief, and as you have probably heard on the news, he gave Bush that special brand of “truthiness” that only he can dole out. I am utterly amused by his ability to sarcastically lambaste conservatives and liberals equally, all with that “harmless prig” quality that defies true indignation. So without further ado, check the technique.
