#1 Yeah, I don't think that amounts to a thickening. That there's more of a congealment.

I must have forty or fifty first-through-second cousins, at least a few of which I'd not vouch for on a background check. I doubt I'm a rarity in that regard.

Hell, there's probably a fifty-fifty chance that both Irving and Bishop are eighth or ninth cousins with the original wonder cousins, Obama and Cheney.

#2 Now on the net at Boston.com (what a nut!):

In March, 2002, Bishop walked into an International House of Pancakes in Peabody with her family, asked for a booster seat for one of her children, and learned the last seat had gone to another mother.

Bishop, according to a police report, strode over to the other woman, demanded the seat and launched into a profanity-laced rant.

When the woman would not give the seat up, Bishop punched her in the head, all the while yelling "I am Dr. Amy Bishop."

Bishop received probation and prosecutors recommended that she be sent to anger management classes, though it is unclear from court documents whether a judge ever sent her there.

The woman, identified in court documents as Michelle Gjika, declined to comment, saying only "It's not something I want to relive."

#3 Well, at least she didn't shoot her, so she's got that going for her...
