Well. Some of them were... remarkably open minded.

What's really notable here is how they are using the damage of the McCarthy Era to justify their beliefs. I wonder how many of them know, or would care, that the "one nation under god" and "in god we trust" stuff comes from then.

He has a habit of confessing. This is why I'm most looking forward to the Georgia trial.

The ultimate victim of the Culture War will be The Onion. :dead:

She really has a thing for space lasers. I wonder if she will survive the next election.

I think they've had some redistricting that may work against her.

Remember, we are a Nation of Nuckleheads. Everywhere we go around the world, the local citizens are quick to point it out. The Irish are no exception :lol:
