SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 9:26 A.M. ET:

(Nov. 17) -- Invite a sword swallower to a museum and it's bound to happen: He's going to swallow an exhibit. On Sunday, Dan Meyer did just that when he dropped a 100-year-old serrated saw down his throat.  Meyer, president of Sword Swallowers Association International (SSAI), swallowed the tool in front of a packed lecture hall during his presentation on the history and science of sword swallowing at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Conn.

The Sword Swallowers Association?  Really?  Can you imagine what the initiation must be like?  On the other hand, we're sending a gift membership to Nancy Pelosi.  If she's swallowing a sword, she can't be talking.
