So, you guys remember that little thing in the Constitution called the First Amendment? The one about Congress not making any law respecting an establishment of religion? Apparently Christine O'Donnell of Delaware, hopeful runner for the US Senate, failed social studies, and now there's a ridiculous semantics argument going on involving the First Amendment not actually containing the words "separation of church and state." I'm just glad this lady is trailing in polls. I'm not a Delaware resident, but considering she's running for the Senate... I hope she loses. People like her scare me. I found it wonderfully ironic though that this all happened during a debate held at a law school. If you haven't seen the article on Yahoo News, you can read it here.

On the other end of the WTF spectrum, I was visiting my local B&N today and came across... *dramatic pause* The Snuggie Sutra. Yep, you read that right. Ever wanted to have some hot action while remaining comfortable ensconced in your Snuggie? Then this book might be for you. I read through some of the positions... I felt a tiny piece of me die. Although the last line of the back blurb was funny. "You have sex. You have Snuggies. This was inevitable."

And as usual I can't leave a bookstore without something. I finally snagged Vols 2-4 of Dogs: Bullets & Carnage (definitely one of the few manga these days I'm interested in reading or keeping up with), and all three books of the Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. I've really wanted to read this series for a looooooong time. In it's previous publication, each book was broken down into two volumes. I only ever managed to get Book 1 Part 1. Since then, the trilogy has been re-released in three massive omnibus editions. The books are The Reality Dysfunction (1094 pgs), The Neutronium Alchemist (1137 pgs), and The Naked God (1332 pgs). I love hauling giant books around with me. :V *bricked*
