This makes me happy:
That’s because one of the Emmy nominees for Best Animated Program is the episode of “South Park” that’s said to have angered Tom Cruise and Isaac Hayes.
The episode called “Trapped in the Closet” implies that Cruise is gay and makes fun of Scientology.
Cruise’s fellow Scientologist Isaac Hayes reportedly quit because he was upset with the episode. And when it came time to rerun it, Cruise allegedly called Comedy Central and demanded that it be pulled.
It was, even though Cruise’s people denied he asked for it.
I got 25 right out of 50 on this bible quiz but that’s to be expected since I’m a godless heathen. What’s your score?

So Cheney is betting against the dollar.
Well, as it turns out, Kiplinger Magazine ran an article based on Cheney’s financial disclosure statement and, sure enough, found out that the VP is lying to the American people for the umpteenth time. Deficits do matter and Cheney has invested his money accordingly.
The article is called “Cheney’s betting on bad news” and provides an account of where Cheney has socked away more than $25 million. While the figures may be estimates, the investments are not. According to Tom Blackburn of the Palm Beach Post, Cheney has invested heavily in “a fund that specializes in short-term municipal bonds, a tax-exempt money market fund and an inflation protected securities fund. The first two hold up if interest rates rise with inflation. The third is protected against inflation.”
Cheney has dumped another (estimated) $10 to $25 million in a European bond fund which tells us that he is counting on a steadily weakening dollar. So, while working class Americans are loosing ground to inflation and rising energy costs, Darth Cheney will be enhancing his wealth in “Old Europe”. As Blackburn sagely notes, “Not all bad news’ is bad for everybody.”

This will probably be lost on everyone except the three people who remember Space 1999 but this lady is renovating the interior of her house to look like Moonbase Alpha.
