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.
