James Wagner, a journalist over at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune tweeted this gem of a local fact today: "LA County to appoint Buzz Aldrin as Honorary Consul General to the Moon. No joke. LA County/Moon relations will now be better than ever." Don't believe it? It's on tomorrow's agenda (.pdf)




This is awesome. When an appointment is up for Mars, someone send me a line. I guess this shows that LA County does have a sense of humor. This is a slippery slope though - other celebrities and heroes will surely expect extraterrestrial appointments. Tom Cruise, sir you must wait your turn and contact your Supervisor's office during business hours.
