Goodbye Pluto...Least Interesting Planet. Ever.

This is just blowing my mind. I mean Pluto ruined my friendship with Kelly A. in 3rd grade. I used her P encyclopedia to help write my report on the planets and never gave it back. Henceforth, every time I saw her I ran away because her P book was gathering dust in my garage. She stopped asking after 3 years.

And now come to find out this all could have been avoided if these lame-o scientists had figured out sooner that Pluto isn't a planet after all. Botched science ruined my friendship.

It just proves that everything in the universe is connected. So if what my friend Ali says is true, that the "universe provides," what happens when it takes away? Everyone's lost an umbrella here and gotten one back somewhere else right? Will the universe give me a new replacement friend? Damn well better.

Goodbye Pluto. Good riddance!

Things are going South quickly for the Repubs. And southest of all for them is the race for TX 22, where, despite a good ole boy effort to weasel his way off, Delay's name will remain on the ballot giving Lampson an almost assured win. Actually, I shouldn't jinx it...a mighty good chance at a win.

Elsewhere, Republicans are saying and/or doing stupid things right and, well, right, making sure there are some shake-ups during mid-terms. All I can say is 'bout time you guys did something good for America.

OK, now Dems, lean in close, got somethin' important to say to you too! WAKE THE F UP! The time is now! OK, we lost Lieberman, but he was almost a Republican anyway. Let's focus on the ones that are left. Give Casey a chance, get Ford in there, support Duckworth. But most of all, once you get into office, shake things up. Take on the tough stuff. Challenge the military in Iraq, keep addressing immigration problems, and if someone comes in offering you millions of dollars from a casino in TX, close your door and lock it tight.
