In case you have been following a story of truly cosmic dimensions, the International Astronomical Union seems poised to strip Pluto of its status as a planet. The official reason for this action is that Pluto has never really been a team player along with the eight other members of the Planatary caucus. Its orbit is eccentric, it's smaller than Rhode Island, blah, blah, blah. The real reason for Pluto's sudden plunge in the polls is its support for the war in Iraq. If Pluto does lose the IAU primary next week, we here at SDP urge it to run again in November as an Independent.
