Listening to an interview with her on NPR right now as I type this, and she's talking about how Edward "told her things that only Stan would know"...

Poor woman...

Educate yourself, read Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World"....

4. I guess no one is immune
from falling prey to these thosophical pander-ers. Not that I dont think people like
Ms Rice should not know better.
Ever read H.L. Menken's essays on Madam Blatavsky? (?)

Its all about the bling-bling.
