Liederkranz is an "extinct" cheese, the last batch of which was made in 1985.
If Liederkranz means "a wreath of song," does Franklinkranz mean Aretha Franklin?

September 11th
Once again, let us put aside a few minutes to remember the innocents who were executed on this day in 2001 for the crime of being American, without trial or evidence or representation by counsel. My condolences to the families and friends of these victims, and to the world that is suffering the ongoing consequences of these crimes against humanity

Cliché Speak II
Brian Cashman®, again:
"We'll see how it comes out," Yankees® general manager Brian Cashman said. "Coming in, a lot of things make sense and they don't necessarily play out that way. We'll just see how it all looks when we put it together and see it in front of us."

Why Does God Need a Starship?
In 1989, William Shatner® developed the initial storyline for and directed the rather forgettable Star Trek V: The Final Frontier®.
In this film, Spock's® half-brother, Sybok®, seizes control of the Enterprise®, so he can reach a mythical planet named Sha Ka Ree®, where a mysterious, presumably God-like entity awaits.
Claiming to be God, the entity asks Sybok and the Enterprise crew how they got to the planet. When told about the Enterprise, it demands passage aboard the ship in order to leave the planet to spread his Word to the rest of the Universe.
The movie would be completely forgettable were it not for Captain Kirk's® asking the entity, "Why does God need a starhip?"
Whenever any person or organization claims to speak for God, ask a similar question. "Why does God need you to speak for Him [or Her]?"
