CVS called; your meds are ready.

Anyone using Satan as an explanation definitely needs psychiatric care.

If you take them as a joke, you can laugh and reassure yourself that no one could be that inane. If you think about them seriously and try to construct a well thought out, rational response, you will get a headache. I prefer laughter over pain any day; even if it might be occasionally self-delusional, not taking people like Mr. Mud seriously tends to upset them even more, making it even funnier.

I’m sure the video is old. I would guess it dates from the time Bush 43 advocated teaching ID, which IIRC was 2005. Study of the crawl would probably pin it down more closely.

But yes, it’s still relevant.

“Is our children learning?”

Apparently not.

Yes, and there’s another reason: I think a Poe would have used just one message, because it had been composed ahead of time.

A sad, and smug little bigot, with a view of the world about as wide as the average amoeba.

I suspect the gentle carpenter from Nazareth had very little in common with this person.

And if they are occupying heaven, I do NOT wanna go there!

The question is, then, which half is real, and which imaginary? This begs the question of how you take the square root of the imaginary half of an American.
