We’re almost ready to fire up the CERN Hadron Collider! They’ve done a few test fires, and — so far as we know — everything has worked out all right. No Earth-eating wormholes, or reality shifts, or universe endings. That we noticed. Right.
You know I’m hoping for a Twilight Zone style reality shift, which no one except maybe one guy notices. Cross your fingers, kids, and let’s hope we shift to a more entertaining reality. Something D&D-styled, perhaps. That might be interesting.
Meanwhile, Big Brother Google is putting in some new privacy measures. Apparently, the Department of Justice has been making noises about suing them for anti-trust concerns, too, which, I believe, means that someone thinks they’re violating the monopoly laws.

This weekend, the government bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I could write a book about what I know about this situation, as long as the book was written on a very small piece of paper in very large handwriting. That is, I don’t know squat other than it would have been bad to let these two banks crash. So, enlighten me. How’d this happen again?
Finally, and most importantly, Stephen Colbert has joined the Immortality Project. This means that even if we can’t get him elected to office on a write-in vote this time around, we can just keep trying and trying until we do. If he dies, we can use his saved DNA to clone him, and keep on trying. Rock on.
