Congratulations, Sheryl! It'll feel like your house eventually, I'm sure.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But outlawing flag burning doesn't outlaw saying "I hate America." You can sell T-shirts with that slogan, even if this amendment passes.
Yeah, but... but... it's not like BURNING! the FLAG!
Burning. The Flag.
...there, see? Get it now?

Don't you feel better now, Wolfram?
In dinner news, my chicken wasn't defrosted yet, so I had to have double chocolate pudding and banana instead.

Huh. The Library of Congress subject headings list does not list a death date for L. Ron Hubbard. Pope John Paul II has been updated with his death date, but I guess the LoC is taking the Scientologists at their word that L. Ron has just stepped out for the moment and will be right back.
I wonder if L. Ron goes/went by that name because of Tolkien's Elrond.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

His name was LaFayette Ronald. I'm thinking he doesn't need Tolkien to start abbreviating.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
He's Buddy Bell. With a name like that, you pretty much have to be baseball manager.
His real name is David Gus Bell, and he's a member of a three generation baseball family. His father was Gus Bell, who played for the Reds for many years. Buddy was an all-star for Cleveland and Texas. His son, David Bell, currently plays for the Phillies.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Can we take away Tom Delay's bad crack and ship him to Iraq, where he'll travel WITHOUT full military escort in armor plated vehicles and body armor? 'Cause it might be fun.

IIRC, L. Ron had been published years before before LotR was published.
The funny thing about the flag burning amendment is that the preferred way to discard an old flag is to burn it.
