Breaking News

Did anyone know that space shuttle Discovery was launching this morning? I certainly did not. It's funny how some things lose their news worthiness when there's nothing exciting to report about. For only the second time in the history of shuttle missions STS-120 will be commanded by a woman. I think that would be news worthy but who am I to judge? Oh yeah, and Discovery will be carrying Luke Skywalker's lightsabre to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. Now that's especially news worthy seeing that George Lucas will be on hand to witness the launch this morning. Shouldn't he be working or something? Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
