In an unsigned editorial (reproduced here for your convienence) the The New York Times says that Pluto should be downgraded to the status of a random ice ball. Sorry guys, that ain't gonna happen. It comes up over and over at astronomical and planetary science gatherings, and the consensus is that once a celestial body has reached planetary status, it gets to keep it.

I'm not sure why the Times is even interested in this. Slow news day, I suppose. Hey guys, That Rove guy is still at large, they're even praising his political savvy and labeling him a "real nice guy" over on NPR (the other Peoples Media) So howz about some reporting???
