Decisions, Decisions

Today I went to the ultra­market. While I was at the ultra­market, I saw the most appalling thing. I took a picture: They’re from a local company with Polish owners. For those who do not know, Sophie’s Choice is a novel turned film starring Meryl Streep about a Polish woman forced by a Nazi officer to choose one of her two children for death. I’m sure the product is quite tasty. I’m not sure the best of judgment was used in selecting a company name.

STS-​​122 Launch

STS-​​​​122 (finally!) scheduled for launch at 2:45:30, smack in the middle of today’s 10 minute launch window. Official clock: Here is NASA TV, live, with approx. 60 sec. delay. Congratulations, Atlantis, on a splendid liftoff!

Today on CNN​.com

CNN​.com announces that Mitt Romney will be suspending his campaign following a disap­pointing showing on Super Tuesday. To announce this news, CNN​.com places a banner at the top of their page. Click here to see the banner as it appeared at 12:45pm EST. Mercifully, it was only up for about 7 minutes, and has now been replaced with a headline that contains neither apos­trophes nor plurals.
