The news in brief 9/10

Throughout this lonely day at home monitoring internet news blogs, I was witness to a monumental struggle between two opposite but capable canidates... for the most popular news story of the day.

In this corner: The Large Hadron Collider. We have news that an international team of super scientists have constructed a series of particle accelerators, so powerful that they force protons to collide at the cataclysmic speeds nearing those of light required to isolate the "god particle," which might be the building block for mass withing all of the universe's matter. The results are intended to recreate the conditions that initiated the theorized big bang. Managing this could shed light on mysteries of dark matter, the creation of the universe and could lead to reinventing the way we view the physical universe. In fact, right now on the Swiss/French boarder scientists could be growing a new universe within our own. This project was conceived almost thirty years ago and has been in the works for 12 years.
Despite it's exciting possibilities some question the use of such a machine, as it has cost 10 Billion, nearly as much as a months worth ammunition for soldiers in Iraq. Some believe that it can create black holes and might cause one that will instantly destroy the world. While, most experts say the machine is perfectly safe. Steven Hawking concedes that there is a one percent chance that it will create small black holes. While Hawking, expects these to disapear into thin air once the elements run out of energy, some have misheard the respected astro-physist and formulated doomsday theories.

And in this corner: Obama said "Pig in lipstick" and smirked, John McCain's camp made another surrealistically asine ad (still not as bad as the one that implies Obama is a child molester), which calls Obama a sexist.

Now go see which one is number on on every major online news wire.... Except BBC.
