You Know, You Really Can't Make This Shit Up
I heard a piece about Katherine Harris on NPR during the drive home. I'm sure that all of you remember Ms. Harris, the former Secretary of State for Florida, from the 2000 Elections (the ones, at the end of which, we told ourselves "Someday we'll all look back on this and laugh."). I can't remember what the NPR piece was about (so let's just say that scientists have found a link between Katherine Harris' makeup and Halloween), but the piece made me remember something that I once read about Katherine that few people seem to know about: she once over saw a program to test "Celestial Drops" on canker-infested orange trees.
And just What The Please Sprinkle My Orange Canker-Infested Vagina are Celestial Drops? I thought you'd never ask. Celestial Drops is another term for water purchased from the same Kabbalah Centre frequented by Madonna and Ashton Kutcher. Another description of Celestial Drops was provided by a Florida state scientist:
"[The] product is a hoax and not based on any credible science."- Smart Science Guy
And what spawned Harris' interest in Celestial Drops? According to Harris, she became aware of the product after being told that "Israeli scientists" were responsible for it.
"I deeply value Israeli technology."- Katherine Harris
