I like open primaries in theory, but what CA just passed actually *reduces* choice on the final ballot: only the top 2 from the primary. How long until the first election where both candidates are the same party?

Sightings line up perfectly with the Falcon 9 launch.
Oh, those Falcon UFOs
Yesterday, a lot of Australians reported seeing a bizarre UFO. Just before 6:00 a.m. local time, numerous reports came in about a spiral of light in the sky with a bright central spot. The light was actually spinning around, like a pinwheel!

Guillermo Del Toro departs “The Hobbit”
Guillermo Del Toro announced today that he is no longer directing the two movies based on J.R.R Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”…
Argh! I totally understand his decision (a 3 year commitment on the other side of the planet has turned into 6 years, and they still can’t start filming due to MGM’s financial problems), but this is one hell of a missed opportunity.
Haven’t seen the #FlashForward finale yet. TV signal was bad, so we put in a Wonderfalls DVD instead. Planning to catch it on Hulu tomorrow.
