NASA found a second tiny moon- a recaptured asteroid that's been orbiting Earth for about a hundred years. The quasi-satellite is only 120 feet by 300 feet, which is why it took a while for someone to stumble across it. Those romantics at NASA have given it the heavenly appellation 2016 H03.

Yet another one of those seemingly endless stories about NASA developing a Star Trek warp drive, but with two approaches and a neat video.

A Florida man, a retired police officer and chair of Donald Trump's Florida law enforcement coalition, will no longer fly vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence to rallies across the US. He is accused of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. If he has a Samsung phone, the deadly weapon probably is the battery.

Among other things, today is the second Johnny Appleseed Day this year.

Daily Trump Dump:
"Prickly City" by Scott Stantis
The Trump boys: 'The douche doesn't fall far from the bag.'-John Fugelsang.
The Toronto Star continues its daily count of Trump lies. Only seven on Saturday... he's obviously keeping his powder dry for the debate.
The New York Times gets into the act, at last, with a fairly comprehensive collection of 31 whoppers issued from September 15 through 21...
...and demonstrates that its Editorial Board has a firm grasp of the obvious by warning Why Donald Trump Should Not Be President.
NBC News presents the 20 major issues Trump addressed, and the 117 flip-flops he's made on them; about a half-dozen per issue. Time to send the ol' Magic Eight ball in for repairs.
You can't watch the presidential debate at home with out a set of bingo cards!
But seriously, folks...
One of the problems with this Presidential
election is the distraction and noise from the ongoing, rolling train
wreck provides enough cover for the Republicans to continue to their
efforts do destroy the safety net that's aready lost a lot of its
bounce. Slate
shows how the GOP wants to deal with record demands on the Social
Security Administration's workforce: by reducing its budget by $1.2
billion.
