Goddammit, why are so many of our politicians CRAZY? Is it the long winters/cabin fever, or WHAT?

It's that fundamentalist Christians can be made to vote as a bloc by dangling a fetus-shaped carrot in front of them. Whacking them on the butt with a stick and telling them that it's the threat of surprise buttsex from Teh Evul Gays also works pretty well.

If you rile them up enough you can get them to give lots of money for shiny television ads with waving flags and vague militaristic overtones, which will then make the part of our country that's not terribly religious but who think that anything's good as long as it involves giving something associated with the military a blowjob to also vote as part of the same bloc.

(Sorry if this is a waaaay too personal question to ask on the internet, so feel free to ignore me, but as you're a UU in MN, I can't help myself: is there any chance that you go to either FUS or FUC?)

[lykomancer]

No, I don't go to either despite living in the Cities, though I do get the FUS podcast. I generally work Sunday mornings unfortunately.

[carmy_w]

I agree with entropius.
