To Seek New Life and ....,

Amazingly detailed photos of Saturn, it's rings and surrounding moons, have been released to the press by NASA. Taken by the Cassini explorer spacecraft, the craft has exceeded expectations of it's original 4 years mission and may last through to 2010. NASA has hopes for in depth photos of Uranus that should arrive from the spacecraft Proctology 3 in late September. *** Scary looking governor Bobby Jindal has contracted to write a book. If he goes with an autobiography, it should be called "Stop Staring, I'm Not a Cadaver." *** A 53 year old former schooteacher is raising eyebrows as she runs for political office in India. Even before Indira Ghandi became a politician, women have held leadership roles but what is controversial, even today, is that she hails from the Dalits, a group formerly known as the "Untouchables" class. Before I looked it up, I thought it meant that Elliot Ness was her father. Americans are often shocked by news of a country with such archaic class systems but seem to forget that we have the same thing in the good ol US of A. It's called "Place of Birth: West Virgina."
