"Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God, there is in that man no spirit of compromise. He has not the modesty born of the imperfections of human nature; he has the arrogance of theological certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance. Believing himself to be the slave of God, he imitates his master, and of all tyrants, the worst is a slave in power."--Robert G. Ingersoll

Thanks, Ma!
I heard on the radio today that Barbara Bush, who never needed a nickel of Social Security and never will, went down to Florida today to stand by her boy and convince the old folks that he has only their best interests at heart. When I heard that, I immediately laughed out loud at the obvious damage control but then thought, "jesus, people really ARE that stupid".
