I got this from a good source in Washington. Actual footage of Dick Cheney ruining one of the holiest days of the year; there’s a reason they call him the VICE president.

another reason to hate Ford
It seems that plugging a live electrical cord into a hydrogen tank is not the wisest course of action, although why we should expect wise courses of action from the man who makes Gerald Ford look intellectual and Donald Duck look diplomatic is beyond me.
Also, quote of the day!
“I just thought, ‘Oh my goodness!’ So, I started walking faster, and the President walked faster and he got to the cord before I did. I violated all the protocols. I touched the President. I grabbed his arm and I moved him up to the front,” Mulally said. “I wanted the president to make sure he plugged into the electricity, not into the hydrogen This is all off the record, right?”

Alanis Morissette’s Humps

the Spaghetti Harvest, 2007
Yes, the BBC did a groundbreaking documentary on the Swiss spaghetti farming industry back in 1957 (crappy Realplayer version here), but that’s soooo 20th Century. Here is an update on an independent spaghetti farmer working the family farm in New Jersey, and his valiant fight against corporate Big Spaghetti.
and remember, if you want to grow your own, just follow the advice of the BBC:
“place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best“
