I have come to a very difficult point in my burgeoning political career.  The Swearing in Ceremony is on monday at 7:00PM.  I asked if I could be sworn in on a Qur'an instead of a Bible for obvious reasons.  The SAO said that she would look into it, and that it probably wouldn't be a problem, but if it was you can just accept the station (for atheists et cetera...).  I would prefer to be sworn in on the Qur'an, but I wouldn't have any qualms about just accepting it if I couldn't.

There is surely something distasteful in the story that Olympics officials have tested a South African runner, determined that chemically or something she has too many male gender characteristics, and taken away her medal. She is not on suicide watch.
