Umm, frankly I would prefer the White House Cyanide kitchen, but that's just me. If they want to eat kosher, hey, it's a free country, right? As for cloistered monks running for office, why not? They let a Mitt Romney run!
You should read a great book by Jon Krakauer called "Under the banner of heaven: A story of violent faith". It's a real eye opener about the Mormon church.
OK, gotta go to work. Had the day off yesterday. Try not to miss me too much today.
