Why I [sometimes] hate people, religion and the South. Pretty much in that order.

The thing that kills, just absolutely kills, is that these are nice folks. Dumb and scary and a little insane, but nice.

I'd say humanity has jumped the shark, but the ill informed and religio-kooky have always with will probably always be with us.

"God and Politics in Lynchburg, Tennessee"

Reminds me of nothing so much as the quote from the great Blazing Saddles -

"You've got to remember that these are just simple [people.] These are people of the land. The common clay... You know... morons."

"It never fails that every day, someone will leave a comment asking us why we spend so much time watching news shows and pointing out Republican framing and other types of media bias.

This is why."
