WEIGHT LOSS

Wa Po has this article on "Dr. Pat Robertson's Diet Shake." Pat apparently does not confine his endeavors to the Christian Broadcasting Network, Regent University, and foreign policy pronouncements suggesting America "take out" South American leaders with whom we disagree. Now he can add diet guru to the list

Permit me to digress: Pat must be the only law school grad in the country who uses his juris doctor degree as an excuse to use the title "Doctor." Then again, I refuse to use the term "Esquire" in reference to other lawyers because it is pretentious. People who know me know I'm a lawyer and people who do not don't care.

Yips! from Robbo: The Missus and I stayed at the inn at Regent when we were in VA Beach for a wedding many moons ago. The place had such an air of I dunno what about it that we felt rather like P.J. O'Rourke and his lady friend did when they visited Heritage U.S.A. in Holidays in Hell. It was only with extreme effort that I stopped myself from yelling, "Hurry up, Honey! We'll be late for the Satanic Rituals again!" in the lobby.

YIPS from LMC: snake handling classes every Friday after sundown.
