News: Mormon-Evangelical bliss; mimesis gone wild

OK, James Carville and Mary Matalin as a couple is one thing. But this.....

Libit and Tom have been happily married for 26 years. She's a Mormon. He runs an anti-Mormon ministry. Over the years, thanks to Libit, Tom has softened his evangelism tactics. When she rides in his car, he removes the magnet that advertises his Web site, WhatMormonsDontTell.com.

This next story is complicated, so follow the logic closely.

1) The woman who sold a grilled cheese sandwich that she claimed resembled the face of the Virgin Mary for $28,000 wanted to remember the holy food with a tattoo.

Uh... OK. We can sorta see that.

2) According to the Associated Press, the sandwich, which was bought on eBay by GoldenPalace.com [a casino site] in 2004, was on display in front of Miami Ink Tattoo Studio in Miami while Diana Duyser had the image from the sandwich tattooed near her heart.

Near her heart? Ouch!

3) "We all believe in certain things, OK, and this is what I believe in, and this is what I want near and close to my heart. She'll be there forever," she said.

Oh, whatever.

Grilled cheese + miracle + tattoo = eternal security. Fine.
