Pluto demoted: BLOGOSPHERE AGHAST!!

That's a headline on Technorati right now, and I find it particularly funny. It's true; bloggers have devoted lots of ink pixels to Pluto over the past few days. You can use Technorati to find what bloggers are saying about Pluto here.

A few recent Pluto posts that caught my eye:

• Requiem for a Planet
• Survivor: The Solar System
• An open letter:

  I don't like being lied to. You've been pretending to be something you're not, and now the truth finally comes out. And it hurts.
  
  We've believed in you for generations, and you let us down. Don't blame it on others. Just because other people say you're something, it doesn't change what you know in your heart. Your cold, cold heart. But you didn't speak up. You just remained distant. Extremely distant.
  
  I'm with science. You're dead to me, Pluto.

• Pluto, We Hardly Knew Ye
• Is this how Pluto feels?
• Union of Plutonic States Contests Earthlings' Demotion of its Status
• Pluto Suffers Major Slap Down:

  First it was called tiny, frigid and distant. Now, in a stunning rebuke from the International Astronomical Union, Pluto has received the unkindest cut of all.
