In the rain

Last night, after driving home late from work in a downpour seasoned with hail, I bailed on attending the STC Happy Hour at the Times coffee house, came home and dashed into the house in an interlude of less rain. Shortly after sitting down to the computer, a sharp sizzle lit up the outdoors, and the sharp crack of thunder was followed by the honking of a car alarm in a silver VW parked across the street.

THE WAR ON CHRISTIANS AND VALUE VOTERS

That's a revelation! Someone should introduce these refugees from the Christian Coalition and the Moral Majority to the people controlling and staffing the White House, the Congress, the majority of state governorships, and the Supreme Court. If they have a hard time getting an audience, they can always hire Tom Delay to lobby for them, Ralph Reed to do the fundraising, and Jeff Gannon to write about it. Hiring these guys would be tax-deductible as an act of Christian charity. They are all going to need work soon and Lord knows idle hands are the Devil's tools.

Next time you hear someone lauding "Value Voters" or indignant over the "War on Christians" you might want to remind them George Bush's administration was the one that started a war they can't win, created a debt they can't tame, and built a bureaucracy they can't manage. After all, when you have an administration with that sort of track record, perhaps treating the president like he walks on water is simply Mything the Point.
