Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It was Katherine, no? Possibly Catherine. Or Katharine. Not sure of the language of origin.

I switched over to HGTV after the Bee. When did they start giving house prices on House Hunters?

Oh, I have a new favorite HGTV show, too -- Freestyle! They just rearrange the people's existing stuff. Cool.

My concern is the political power of the religious right although really the concern isn't so much for the religious agenda as it is for the pro-corporate agenda that is riding it. I do worry about attacks on contraception, sexual education, science education, gay rights, and censorship but I don't think that the religious right has been all that successful in those areas. What they have done is help elect people who have gotten us into a unnecessary war, ballooned the deficit, weakened environmental laws, expanded executive power to crazy levels, and generally set the country back IMO.
I'll add something to this - the successes that they've had in the religious agenda - contraception, sexual education, science education, gay rights, and censorship, as you say, are issues where, long-term, they're losing. I don't mean that they're not having some success right now - I'm a bit less sanguine about that than you are, I think. And I think the short-term (10-20 year) consequences may be awful.
But. Frankly, on these issues, they're on the wrong side of history. They're panicked and hysterical about these issues for a reason. It's the less obvious stuff, the things that require a little more understanding and thought, the things that are tied in to the most rapacious elements of capitalist economics, that really hold the danger. Splitting those two strains apart is possibly the most important thing facing us today.

I like Freestyle too -- and I've been enjoying this Design, Inc show because they show the design process really well, I think.
