That politcal guy (James?)who married that political lady (Mary?) from the 
other party often says "Jesus said that every man would have to eat three 
pounds of dirt before they die," whenever someone expressed disdain for his 
actions.  When that druggy journalist guy (Thompson?) said that he never 
heard about eating dirt to get into heaven James? said that Jesus wasn't 
talking about heaven.
