"All the winged insects that go upon all fours are an abomination to you. 21Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet, with which to leap on earth.

Oh yeah, that six leg thing. I was still stuck on "All - for values of all that mean not these particular ones."

Vanity Fair On Cheney: His Health:

"He takes a range of medications that he and his doctors decline to detail. The extent of his atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries, which, if it extends beyond the heart to the brain, can cause hard-to-recognize changes in cognition) is unknown. Bypass surgery itself has long been associated with subtle changes in neurological function."

"At age 65, Cheney is easily 30 or more pounds overweight, seems to have slacked off on what was once a more rigorous diet, and appears to suffer from recurrent bouts of gout. At a roundtable lunch with reporters a couple of years ago, two who were present say, he cut his buffalo steak in bite-size pieces the moment it arrived, then proceeded to salt each side of each piece."

Huh. I've read several accounts from people who've known Cheney for a long time that his personality has completely changed since he became VP.

Thanks. I probably should delay my driving plans until tomorrow morning, then. Unless I want to try an alternate route. Hm. IDOT is telling me to take Stony Island Ave. up to Lake Shore Dr.

U.S. Government Commissioned Spanish-Language ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ in 1919

I didn't know there was actually a resolution that the anthem only be sung in English. Wow, that's just a crazy waste of time.

Why is Janeane Garofalo touting a Scientology-linked project?

The actress and talk-show host has done two segments on her Air America radio show “Majority Report,” heaping praise on the controversial New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, a program based on the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

On one show, her guests included Leah Remini, star of “King of Queens” and a devout Scientologist, who sang the praises of the detox project.

Is there something about appearing on movie and/or tv screens that results in Scientology? I have to say though, I'm not a fan of the "Majority Report", I listened for a bit because some of the guests were interesting, but I got tired of the ranting.

Scientology actively recruits celebrities (and treats them VERY differently than the average-joe members) because having celebrities say you're not a cult is good PR.

Yeah, that sounds logical. But I think I'll stick to my theory that TV and movie cameras emit omnicron radiation that converts the people in front of them to Scientology.

Hmm. If I can get K to have her bachelorette party after the wedding, that should work out great!

Well, then, maybe you should come back in September!

Sadly, that's the weekend after this wedding, which is out of town, and I'll still be relatively new at a job (even assuming I get one soon, which I'd better), so I'm thinking two long weekends in a row might be a little much. Go in October instead!
