Here we are on August 1st and time for article 219 about the Sabbat called Lughnassah, by those who can get their eyes around the spelling of the Irish, and Lammas by those who can’t.

Lughnassah or Lammas occurs on the first of August. This was the day on which the Christianized Saxons brought the first fruits of their fields to their landlords, the year's first harvest festival.

It isn't my custom to write two articles in a day, but the news being uncovered now makes it necessary from my point of view as a health writer interested in political chicanery.

The two and two above are my two recent articles Oink! Oink! The Pigs are Coming to Town! 8/18/2009 and the last one, Who’s Your Fat Friend? 8/27/2009. Put the two together and what can we think is going on?
