Reason #141,723 why I think our government has gone completely around the bend: They're considering having the leader of some whacko Canadian religious cult/group testify in Congress on whether to allow human cloning. The guy already appeared once, dressed in a white jumpsuit, to talk about how his group's company, Clonaid, was going to clone a human being. His cult, the Raelians (he calls himself the Prophet Rael) is based on the theory that space aliens seeded Earth with life and that he himself has visited a space ship, and his followers will get to join him and the space aliens. Thankfully, Congress is using him as an example of why not to allow human cloning, but I seriously doubt this guy will be able to do what he says anyways.

In other news, some idiot brought a dummy grenade to the L.A. airport yesterday, which prompted the third evacuation in a week. Apparently, it was a gag gift. What better way to transport it than to throw it in a suitcase and bring it to the airport? C'mon people... our airport security may be full of holes, but it's one thing to try to test those holes if you're an FAA inspector and another to make a joke of it and delay hundreds if not thousands of other travelers.

On a personal note, I'm going to take the apartment. As I said in the comments for my last entry, I think I'm just a bit overloaded with all these apartments that I've seen, and I'm just a little apprehensive about rushing into it when I still have appointments to see other places. However, it's a month-to-month lease so I'm not locking myself into anything substantial and if it doesn't work out, I can always move.
