Now, it could be just me, but when I saw this headline -- Spitzer sees far-off planet light -- I immediately thought it referred to Elliot Spitzer, New York's Attorney General and potential nominee for US President in 2008. In fact, it refers to light having been detected from other solar systems. That's right. Other solar systems. This is pretty astonishing news...and I thought it was about the NYAG's political foresight. So it's official: I take the world far too seriously.
