The Salt Lake Tribune, with its tongue at least touching its cheek, if not firmly planted in it, polled Utah’s congressional delegation to see if anyone would be willing to take action in Congress in defense of ex-planet Pluto. “Alas,” the paper reported Sunday, “none of our delegation bit on our suggestion for the Pluto Restoration Act of 2006 or the Resolution to Re-Designate Pluto as a Planet.” The best response, though, came from Scott Parker, chief of staff for Rep. Rob Parker: “Since most members of Congress believe the universe revolves around them individually, I doubt most of them would be too concerned about losing a competing planet.”
