Wham Bam Thank You Mam!

Just last week Canada's Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, called for an early election which will take place October 14. No muss, no fuss, no two years of campaigning and the associated cost and name calling.

Still Here!

Well they fired up "Old Sparky" today and we're all still here.

Earth's Last Day?

International physicist will fire up that big Atom Smasher under the French-Swiss border tomorrow. On the Cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are the words "Don't Panic." The Guide came in handy after the Vogons blew up Earth to make way for a hyperspatial express route. Some believe something like that will happen tomorrow when the Big Bang is recreated right under our noses. Just in case...So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. It's been nice blogging you.

Alaska: Coldest State, Hottest Governor!

Below is by Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times
ST. PAUL - A series of disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin, Senator John McCain’s choice as running mate, called into question on Monday how thoroughly Mr. McCain had examined her background before putting her on the Republican presidential ticket.
On Monday morning, Ms. Palin and her husband, Todd, issued a statement saying that their 17-year-old unmarried daughter, Bristol, was five months pregnant and that she intended to marry the father.
Among other less attention-grabbing news of the day: it was learned that Ms. Palin now has a private lawyer in a legislative ethics investigation in Alaska into whether she abused her power in dismissing the state’s public safety commissioner; that she was a member for two years in the 1990s of the Alaska Independence Party, which has at times sought a vote on whether the state should secede; and that Mr. Palin was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge.
