As usual, but I promise to actually write a post soon. Been writing other things.
Ryan, that last link of yours made me sick. What a shame. Of course it can't be the religion, just like guns don't kill people and so forth ad nauseum.

These People Vote!
We get the leadership that we deserve. And that's a scary thing, considering what's at stake...
For instance:
Donna, Radio Caller, Wants Deer Crossing Signs Moved So Deer Won't Cross Highways (AUDIO)
If we moved deer crossing signs off of highways, deer would finally stop running into oncoming traffic.
That's the complaint one caller in North Dakota aired to the Y94 Playhouse radio station earlier this month.
The woman -- only known as Donna -- was either hoaxing the hosts or really thought that her three deer-related car crashes over the past few years were the result of government posted deer crossing signs posted along high-traffic roads.
"My frustration is that Minnesota and North Dakota departments of transportation would allow these deer crossings in such high traffic areas," she says. "Why are we encouraging deer to cross at the interstate?"
The host replies: "Are you kidding?"
Donna's solution? Putting the warnings in low-traffic areas, like school crossings.
"You seem to be under the misunderstanding that the deer are somehow attracted to the deer crossing sign," the host says.
But Donna appears unfazed by the giggles and snarky responses on air. Listen to the audio in the YouTube clip above and hear the magic for yourself.
UPDATE: The radio station called Donna back days later due to the interest in the original video. She's all red in the face, but she thanked the hosts for not laughing at her -- too much.
"I feel so stupid," she said. "I had no clue that these signs are for us."

Now, she has the sound of a God-fearin' Republican!

Give 'Em Hell, Harry!
"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to
help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not
for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for
restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the
minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for
all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think
modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford
them. They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the
private power companies get their rake-off. They think American
standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all
the people. And they admire the Government of the United States so much
that they would like to buy it."

Dinesh Gets Threshed
Bill Maher Takes Dinesh D'Souza Apart
It couldn't happen to a nicer person!
I especially like the way that, toward the end, Maher springs a little trap on Dinesh and the poor besotted fool can only stammer and protest... A Thing of Beauty that will be my Joy Forever!
At one point when Dinesh was trying to redefine and parse words, Maher simply asks him the same question that I've asked Eric in many forms: "How far did you have to go up your ass to pull that out of it?"
Perfect.
