End of world averted once again, one Connor wins, and one loses

CERN launches world’s largest particle collider As SSW mentioned, there was some hysterics that a mistake could cause a mini black hole and end civilization as we know it. But thankfully that did not come to pass – it only made two dots on a CRT screen.

Season opener of Sarah Connor Chronicles – AWESOME! Usual EW major spoilers here.  Fantastic Terminator action in this first episode, where Camaron turns on John. Wrecked more vehicles in one episode than they do in most movies. And the first appearance of a T-1001 – look out!

Primary results: Daniel Squadron defeats incumbant Martin Connor. For someone who has been in office since the ’70’s, and is actually my state senator, I have almost zero knowledge about Connor.  I’ve never met him in person or seen him at public events or anything, and I have met or seen most of my other elected officials at one point or another. But for crying out loud, Squadron’s clipboarding posse was really annoying. They were worse than the canvassers described in the recent issue of the Village Voice. They even had people come up to my apartment twice to ask if I was voting, and that kind of turned me off. But at least he’s trying. The clincher is that Squadron had Chinese on his banners, and Connor didn’t. That might seem to be a small thing, but it’s often the small things that count.
