All the news that's fit to point and laugh at.

I was going to talk about the new dwarf planet Eris. But everyone else did already, and really, what's to add? Except that this is the most bad-ass thing ever to happen to astrology. Now, there will be more attention paid to lengthy cycles of High Weirdness in the world, because, hey, now we know which planet to blame it on. So that's pretty good.

Then, it came out that the poor Wiccan bastard who got himself blown up in Iraq was going to get his pentacle. The VA is still debating about whether they can put it on his headstone, but the state of Nevada had no such problems carving a big ol' pentacle on their Veteran's Memorial Wall for him. And that's pretty good, too.

But then, I saw this: Lysistrata: it'll be required reading in Colombia soon. And that was all the news I could manage to read today.

I did miss that. Good for them! For fuck's sake, an omniscient and loving God is not going to give you bits that S/He intends for you to avoid using at all costs and then feel bad about it when you do use them. Hallelujah, and all.
