Oh, different parts of the government may have... conflicting views.Also, if bureaucrats/civil servants have one virtue, they tend to be contrarian.Ask Manuel Noriega. Worked for/protected by the CIA, antagonized by the DEA, deposited by the US military.

Have you read Pollan's "How To Change Your Mind" yet? This belongs on the Wonkette book club list!

Just my own money pitch...this shit is not only hilarious, but informative. If you like Wonkette, SUPPORT WONKETTE. How about even $5 a month? That’s ONE pumpkin fucking spice latte. Less, probably (I have no idea how much that shit costs). This mommy blog is worth it, even if for no other reason than that Her Wonkette Highness DR is ridiculously cute and says PAY MOMMY SO I DON’T HAVE TO SELL MATCHES ON THE STREET SO SHE CAN KEEP DOING SWEARS ON THE INTERTUBES!!

Orange Sunshine, Purple Microdot, Windowpane, and God love it, good old family values Blotter. Just, please, stay away from the Brown Acid. Got some of the good stuff during college days, and am a better human for it.

There is an interesting book on the show-- Live From New York: The Complete, Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live -- which, while being essentially an oral history of the show, points out how it has lost -- and gained -- audiences over the decades. It clearly is a valid cultural phenomenon, due both to its longevity and its content, and its ability to cast new members who appeal to audience during each period of its run.
