Once thought to be the smallest, coldest, and most
distant Citizen Journalist circling the Center of the
Political System, Pluto had now been been demoted
to being a Blogger, something like a Dwarf Planet,
more like an Asteroid, but even smaller.

Angela Braly, CEO of WellPoint, the largest health

insurer in the United States, made almost $10

million in 2008. Such outlandish compensation

doesn't materialize out of thin air. So, in 2009,

she has announced that she is reducing the health

benefits of her own employees. Ah, how full the Earth

is of blasphemies, monstrosities, and other

perversions!

"How did I grow these giant pumpkins? Well, son,

have you ever heard of 'Enriched Uranium'?"

A confidential analysis by staff of the UN nuclear

watchdog has concluded that Iran has acquired
'sufficient information to be able to design and produce'

an atom bomb, only 64 years after the United States

did the same thing. Impartial observers are wondering

why it took Iran more than a half-century to try to equal

the United States' ability to kill hundreds of thousands

of people with just a couple of bombs, like it did in

Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
