Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

Things that don't need to be reported - or - I don't care how Katie's sores were or were not obtained.

The fact that this is news makes my head explode. Well, almost.

From IMDb:
Scientology Not To Blame for Holmes "Sores"

The controversial Church of Scientology has slammed reports one its rituals was responsible for the sores on Katie Holmes' mouth in May. Only a week after Tom Cruise and Holmes confirmed they had been dating for "a couple of weeks" in late April, the former Dawson's Creek star was photographed with several cold sores and a red rash around her mouth. While most critics believed Holmes had acquired the sores from her public kissing sessions with Cruise, several gossip columnists claimed the 26-year-old actress developed the sores after enduring a Scientology process, known as purification. Holmes has been studying the religion since she began dating her now-fiance Cruise. The alleged client of the purification is given vitamin B3 (niacin), which helps to decrease cholesterol and boost circulation. However, a spokesman for the church says, "Whatever is on Katie's face has nothing to do with us. It's insulting that you would ask such a thing."

In a related story, I have a bunch of stuff to say about scientology, and about the eeeeeeeevil field of psychiatry, even though no one knows a blessed thing about psychiatry except Tom Cruise. I wish I'd get in the mood to write.

In an unrelated story, my air conditioner is operational again. Whoopdeedoo.
