On Tuesday, the esteemed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/news\/technology\/0,72927-0.html?tw=rss.index\">legislative body will vote on a bill<\/a> to make Pluto a planet once again while it is passing over New Mexican territory &#8211; but only at night.  As Davy Barry would say, I am not making this up.<\/p>\n<p>This is undoubtedly good news for  my my youngest son, who asserts emphatically that he&#8217;s on a student visa from Pluto.  And based on his delightfully quirky behavior, I haven&#8217;t ruled it out.  And my Sweetness will probably want to move to New Mexico now because in addition to a lack of cold weather, they have good planetary instincts.  Inexplicably, she&#8217;s never quite gotten over the rock&#8217;s demotion last year.<\/p>\n<p>But the real question is Bill Richardson&#8217;s position.  His Presidential aspirations could hinge on this crucial issue.  How big of a pandering patsy is he?  And how many countless hours and dollars will be wasted trying to figure out the timetable for exactly when Pluto is a planet?  That could take years of deliberation all by itself.  I can&#8217;t help but think that the New Mexico state legislature might be using their constituents&#8217; money better by buying themselves flashlights and forming a citizen&#8217;s border patrol.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently the state of New Mexico, not content with the alien problem it already has, is prepared to address the<\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/2007\/03\/texmex-pluto.html\" title=\"Read TexMex Pluto\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
