Bay of Fundie

I pulled this title directly from a post at Rightly Concerned, a blog published by the American Fundie Association. I’m so glad there is an organization that officially decrees what religion people are allowed to be.
I wonder if there is an application form I have to fill out? Maybe it’s like Candid Camera. [...]

I’m not an expert on economics, but I think I know enough about it to be able to come to reasonably-informed opinions on the issues.
I’ve been warning about the national debt to anybody who would listen since the late ’70s. You can’t run on deficit spending forever, yet that’s what we we’ve been doing.

Since I haven’t posted in over a week, I realized that most of you probably think I’ve been raptured. After all, if the rapture were to actually occur, so few Christians would qualify that we probably wouldn’t notice that it had even happened. I’m guessing that maybe six or eight people out of [...]

That’s right, Mr. Owl!
You might recall that three months ago, I discovered that some stain named Orly Taitz was running to be the Republican nominee for California Secretary of State. I hadn’t heard of her [...]

Be sure to vote for the lesser of two weevils.
