Just as Discovery passed straight overhead, a plume of white, faintly colorful reflections appeared right around it, and expanded for about ten [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stevespeeves.wordpress.com&blog=1250096&post=568&subd=stevespeeves&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

For those who avoid the news, David Letterman told a joke involving one of Ms. Palin&#8217;s daughters, an unwed, 18-year-old mother.  This joke was also about baseball&#8217;s Alex Rodriguez.
