I just saw this comment, and all I can think of is the 'Friends' episode when everyone's tasting Carol's breast milk..

The toilet is in the life cycle of pretty much anything we eat - we eat, we digest, it goes down the toilet, then it's in our water supply which in turn gets it back into our plants and the animals that become our meat & dairy.

OK. I thought the cheese was scraped from the bowl or something.

Madoff to NY magazine: Government a Ponzi scheme

NEW YORK – Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff said in a magazine interview published Sunday that new regulatory reform enacted after the recent national financial crisis is laughable and that the federal government is a Ponzi scheme.

"The whole new regulatory reform is a joke," Madoff said during a telephone interview with New York magazine in which he discussed his disdain for the financial industry and for its regulators.

The interview was published on the magazine's website Sunday night.

Madoff did an earlier New York Times interview in which he accused banks and hedge funds of being "complicit" in his Ponzi scheme to fleece people out of billions of dollars. He said they failed to scrutinize the discrepancies between his regulatory filings and other information.

He said in the New York magazine interview the Securities and Exchange Commission "looks terrible in this thing," and he said the "whole government is a Ponzi scheme."

Gadhafi denies Libyans oppose him

(CNN) -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi appeared Monday either to not know that demonstrators in cities throughout Libya are calling for an end to his rule or not accept it, according to excerpts from the interview, which a U.S. official described as "delusional."

"No demonstration at all in the streets," he told ABC News and the BBC in a joint interview carried out at a restaurant in Tripoli, excerpts of which were posted on the BBC's website.

Told by the BBC's Jeremy Bowen that he had seen demonstrators in the streets that morning, Gadhafi asked, "Are they supporting us?"

^^ I pretty much assume that anyone who makes a big deal about "family values" will have a sex scandal. Thus far my hypothesis seems more supported than not.

“In the case of a government shutdown, essential personnel who are kept on duty -- including troops in the field -- do not receive paychecks, but members of Congress do.”

I don't know about "way back when" but those were definitely my favorite SNL years.

This couple is keeping the baby's gender a secret from everyone but those present at the birth, it seems. Not even the grandparents get to know. Their two boys (5 and 2) are allowed to choose if they want their hair long or short, if they want to wear boys' or girls' clothing and, when they are mistaken for girls, they are allowed to choose to either correct the person or not. This is to avoid the restrictions of gender roles and allow the children to choose what they want to be.
