LIVE IN THE BUBBLE, WALLOW IN TROUBLE: Your Jawdroppingly Insane Lack of Self-Awareness of the Year.  Variety writes a speculation story of interest to maybe 12 people in the media industry bubble, reporting that Jeff Zucker, formerly Top Dog at CNN may buy the network. Zucker flips out and says though a flack: “It is stunning to read a piece that is so patently and aggressively false.”

Because, hey, it’s Friday and I am betting you’ve never considered this aspect of the debate about the nature of God. Gives you something to think about while cutting your grass tomorrow.

IT’S ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK: A Giant Planet Seems to Be Lurking Unseen in Our Solar System.

When we look at really distant objects, such as dwarf planets beyond Pluto, we find their orbits are a little unexpected. They move on very large elliptical (oval-shaped) orbits, are grouped together, and exist on an incline compared to the rest of the Solar System.

When astronomers use a computer to model what gravitational forces are needed for these objects to move like this, they
