Kepler 36b, or Jerry Sandusky’s next stop?

This week, a lot hap­pened in Jerry Sandusky’s child molesta­tion trial. Democ­rats and California’s Gov­er­nor Jerry Brown announced a bud­get deal. NASA announced a very strange plan­e­tary sys­tem. China had an under-​​reported tri­umph in space. Egypt­ian elec­tions are begin­ning to look like Florida in 2000. Grover Norquist, who may be the de facto boss of the Repub­li­can Party, laid down the law.

But it’s your turn at the mic. What do you want to talk about?

Don’t see an arti­cle on a par­tic­u­lar topic, but want to talk about it some­where? This is Open Mic. Talk about what­ever you want, but stay respectful.

We cre­ate a new Open Mic every week to give a clean slate, but feel free to add to this topic at any time.
