So while my mom was standing around in the McPhail lobby waiting for my siblings to come down after they're lessons, she happened to pick up a copy of The Onion. And on the drive home my brother somehow got his hands on it and started reading it out loud. He started with the short descriptions of all the college football teams' prospects for the up coming season. It was hilarious. (in case you don't know what the Onion is, it's a newspaper made up entirely of satire) Also on the front page was an article about how a mountain lion had successfully defended itself from a family of hikers. It escaped with only a few scratches and left one hiker dead and another seriously injured. When we got home I looked up the Onion's website and saw a video predicting the economy will collapse after Bush leaves office because of a decrease in demand for anti-Bush merchandise. Heh.
Just as a note, apparently the start up of the giant atom smasher was successful. However, it will take years to analyze all the data collected so don't hold your breath waiting for the secrets of the universe.
Today is also the 7th anniversary of 9/11 2001. There are various speeches going on around the country and flags are at half staff. Both presidential campaigns have formed a day long 'truce' and both Obama and McCain are speaking at the same event later today.
Hmm. . . I've gotta go. My brother is trying to convince me to go to his soccer practice. Later.
