He did the same thing to me.

What's dead should stay dead.

Special arrangements for flying with pills is a thing?

Well, it's not a problem until it is. If they check your bags and you are flying with something that is prescription only and can't show a script or bottle, yeah, it can be a problem.

It's like having proof of insurance in your car if you get pulled over. It's not really enough that you actually have the insurance, you also need the proof or you can get a ticket.

Most of the times you drive, it's not an issue. But it's still the technical requirement and can be a pain if you don't have it. But with narcotics.

Who's Larry Summers? I'm guessing he's *not* a straight-up Belgian gansta?

The Franciscans Come To The Nuns' Rescue - The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan - The Daily Beast

This is becoming a major revolt against the Vatican's attempt to police and control the nuns who don't adhere to Benedict's diktats. It's strongly worded and its message is clear: the Vatican's intrusion is "excessive". Here's the full text released yesterday morning. It is, as James Martin puts it, "fathers and brothers coming to the defense of their sisters. " It's a nuanced and respectful defense of core Catholicism, asserting that the current Vatican's insistence on total control over all issues, even those where there can and should be "courageous discernment", is actually against Catholic teaching, as expressed in the Second Vatican Council. And it gives me hope:

Is it the Larry Summers who was Secretary of the Treasury under Clinton and an economic adviser for Obama? I'm pretty sure he isn't Belgian, though maybe he likes waffles.
