Grab Bag

1. Don't miss my Dick Cheney post below. Make sure you're standing over a carpeted surface, or your jaw might break when it hits the floor. On the other hand, I suppose this could also fall in the category of, "I'm not surprised."
2. Today's featured opera is Tristan und Isolde.
3. Antonin Scalia might have gay friends.
4. I wish I were a Mormon girl.
5. Mormons have no sense of humor.
6. The word of the day is kakistocracy: Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens. [Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco- + -cracy.] I am afraid I might be living in a kakistocracy.
