    From the July 30, 2012, Asheville Citizen-Times:

    “The Rev. Billy Graham … released a statement saying he plans to eat Chick-fil-A food Wednesday [August 1], responding to a call from conservatives to support the chain and its president, Dan Cathy.  Cathy caused a stir … when he expressed his opposition to gay marriage and said people should not question the Biblical definition of marriage.”

    We were lucky enough to get a snapshot of The Rev. Graham on a practice run today:

    Cover of ImagineSome movie trailers give away too much of the plot, and some headlines, like this one in The New York Times, tell you everything you need to know: “Jonah Lehrer Resigns From The New Yorker After Making Up Dylan Quotes for His Book.”

    “I want to apologize to everyone* I have let down, especially my editors and readers,” Lehrer said in a statement.  After he was caught.  And after he sold 200,000 copies of his book.  Imagine that.

    * Lehrer didn’t see fit to apologize to Bob Dylan, however.
