(Except for February 15-19, 2001. Those were the time for politics, but only if you first create a temporal paradox where Bush was inaugurated after February 20th. You know, same way the time for politics in Rome was 510 - 27 BC.)"I want you to know, Colonel Raney, I would have come back whether I won or lost. I fell in love with West Virginia ( Read more... )

Of course he loved WV...

The majority of people there are xenophobic in the extreme. Just like him.

They don't think beyond what their preacher tells them to. Just like him.

And despite having a disproportionate number of children in Iraq, a plummeting economy, and Destruction of several departments they depend on... the morons keep voting for him.

I can't remember the exact words or who the quote is from, but it goes something like "Of course I don't believe it when people say everything is political. Trees aren't political. Children aren't political. Love isn't political. However, undeniably, each and every one of those things can be affected by politics - and it's always useful to keep that in mind."

Or, as I told an Orthodox on my journal recently in response to his "I don't like politics - I like religion much better. You know which one I'd pick if I had to choose between Church and State", "I don't mind the fact that you'd prefer Church to State - what I mind is the conflation of the two."
