Of course, a civil war or two in the next couple of years might change the calculus somewhat.
I'd argue that there's been a cold civil war going on for a good 15 years or more. At minimum, since Buchanan's speech at the 1992 Republican convention.

ita, I had actually had the TV on mute during Lorelai's outburst, (My sister called) so it didn't really register with me, even though I could totally see what was happening, even with the show muted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Perkins, I hope you're feeling better, and/or taking a sick day today. Sick is sick!

I hated Loreilai's drunken speech at the end - but there was much to love in this episode. I wondered whether the untranslated Korean was thanks to Lost ?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
eta: There's a big mess of religiosity in Texas, and another big one in Minnesota/Iowa/N & S Dakota. Huh.

That map is weird to me, though, because it only counts congregations that are part of the larger organizations they surveyed, and a lot of congregations aren't. I think even a lot of the mega-churches are independent, so might not be counted?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also, the northeast (with the exception of Maine) seems to have more religious people than the southeast.
