Hey, now that Pluto is no longer a planet, it needs minority protection. Let’s put all leftists there to build a perfect socialist utopia and defend the downtrodden “dwarf” planet from the evil capitalist imperialists republicans from Saturn. Then we can send all muslims there and sit back and watch the fun ensue!

“planetarily challenged” HA! Good one!

Does this mean I have to edit my Gustav Holst CD?

No need – Gustav’s work didn’t include Pluto, as it was composed before 1930.

How prescient is that?

Although 2,500 astronomers from 75 nations attended the conference, only about 300 showed up to vote.

See what happens when you don’t vote? You end up with a liberal consensus.

As the founding member of the Solar System Legal Defense Fund I hereby request that you donate to the cause of saving the solar enviroment from radical reductions by the uncaring liberal junk scientists. Let’s keep Pluto pure for our kids!

Is this decision academically retroactive because I might actually have passed science class?

[...] Pluto’s no longer a planet but we still have the Pluto who really matters. [...]

And yet Hawkins says man made global warming is FOR SURE.

Are you sure which globes he was talking about, 'cause he kind of slurs his words sometimes. Just sayin'.

Isn’t this a sign of the coming apocalypse? Did it change on the 22nd?

Dammit, liberals do what liberals do.
They now created a victim “dwarf” planet that will be under the umbrella of the other planets.
They’re always creating victims they’ll claim to protect.
Damn libs!!!

What is their conclusion about Uranus?

How ’bout Orbital Challenged Planet?

Not very PC – it’s pure discrimination and intolerance. How dare we at Earth, the civilized planet, come to such conclusions? All those poor third world, err…”dwarf” world microorganisms – where’s the sensitivity???

By: NTWR

NTWR — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 18:09:11 +0000

How rude is that? Calling it dwarfplanet? Isn’t there a more sensitive term like, little planet or planetarily disadvantaged???

Scientists reclassify Pluto as “Dwarf Planet”.

In other news, scientists reclassify Earth as “Doomed Planet”, suffering from stupid human infestation.

Sorry, but I can’t buy it. I went to school when teachers were honest, and my teacher told me that Pluto is a planet. Just because a bunch of eggheads take a vote doesn’t make it true. Pluto IS a planet! So, there….. pffffft.

And yet Hawkins says man made global warming is FOR SURE. Hmmm, this is why science is so great, it's always uncertain. Unless you're Algore or, I guess, John McCain. In that case you are omnipotent. *sigh*

The astronomer who discovered Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh, grew up here in Kansas, which has earned a reputation as hating science, what with all of us redneck Christers holding back knowledge. So this is a way for the scientists to slap us down. I bet half the voters thought it was Limbaugh!

Pluto is not insulted, nor indignant…no, not at all, carries on as usual…said that Mr. Rove called last night, with best wishes.

Pluto Gets Thrown In Front Of The Bus…

The International Astronomical Union has revoked Pluto’s status as a planet: Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight. After a tumult…

That bites, but I guess it’s better than their alternative, “when the group’s leaders floated a proposal that would have reaffirmed Pluto’s planetary status and made planets of its largest moon and two other objects.” Equivalence would’ve gone solar.

Actually, Bush is responsible for the loss of an entire planet. Can’t quite explain how, but he must be somehow.

Pluto gets a demotion (UPDATED)…

And the universe weeps …
Just because Pluto doesn’t meet all the qualifications for “planet status” doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a planet. I think Pluto is being discriminated against by the overly-agressive Interna…
