An Earth-like planet was discovered orbiting a red dwarf star 120 trillion miles from Earth. The planet's temperatures are thought to be between 30 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists working in Portugal discovered this planet.
It is my understanding that Rich Little's performance at the White House Press Correspondents' Dinner was excruciating. I'm glad I didn't have to sit through it.
At the Correspondents' Dinner, the President said that he wasn't going to make jokes, because the Virginia Tech shooting had happened so recently. He joked last year, though, when there was an Iraq War going on (which, by the way, there still is). One possible conclusion that could be drawn from the President's behavior is that he does not value the lives of soldiers as much as he values the lives of Virginia Tech students. That's probably not true. What's likely more true is that the President will use anything he possibly can to prevent having to speak about his Administration, whose Vice President pushed for a war regarded as illegal by the UN, whose Attorney General got caught trying to remove all judicial checks on the Executive Branch, whose former Deputy Secretary of Defense is now being investigated by the World Bank for giving his girlfriend a position, inappropriately.
Studying the Virginia Tech shooting will not give us any insight into anything, so I'm only going to say in reference to it that I'm glad that the students at Virginia Tech are being hostile to the media.

Kucinich wants to Impeach Cheney and has introduced house resolution 333.
Pelosi publicly and succinctly explained to Bush that he is the head of only one branch of the US government, not the king of the country, and that acting counter to this is against the Constitution and the will of Americans.
Even Republicans are openly against at Alberto Gonzales remaining in office.
Even if Bush ignores everything, we finally have some people in high positions that are speaking out against and making major gestures (whether or not they come to fruition) against the current administration's policies.
That is, at least, an improvement.
Cho is a published author. His play, bad as it was, entertained me in a way much modern writing is incapable of entertaining me.
For some reason, it reminded me a little of Kurt Cobain's one-page "Mr. Moustache" comic.
Students at Brigham Young University - in Utah, and flagship University of the Mormon faith - are even protesting Dick Cheney's selection as commencement speaker.
