    Next November all of you will go to the polls: you'll stand there in the polling place and make a decision. I think when you make that decision. it might be well if you would ask yourself, is Osama bin Laden still dead?

    The CBC article on this has some guy trying to argue that Trojan orbits are impossible in the comments. There really ought to be a "Troll of the Week" award.
