Our wings are not tired.

I love my DH. He drove to his sister's place of work and made her vote, then he drove to his brother's house and made him vote. He forced them to register a few years back. Eldest bossy sibling.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In short, America will soon look like godless Europe.

Cool - that will save me the trouble of moving to godless Europe.

God will ultimately be purged from the public square.

That euphemism pisses me off. Generally what this means for them is that they don't get to have a government-sponsored religion. Same as "God was kicked out of the classroom" - they're mad that teachers don't get to lead kids in prayer anymore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My polling place is in an elementary school cafeteria, and this morning a mom was oohing and aahing to her kid about how nice it was -- the kid apparently goes to the school, but couldn't have been older than 1st grade. Super cute.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

God will ultimately be purged from the public square.

Pretty whimpy God to go and let that happen...

Yeah. And like God doesn't have the power to go into schools if teachers are not leading their classes in prayer.

Always Anti-fascist!

As long as there is math, there will be praying in school.

Speaking of voting and God and stuff....

One of the poll workers at our polling place was wearing a Korean veteran's cap, which was fine since this right here today is what the guy was ostensibly fighting for, but he was also wearing a t-shirt that said "God is in control! Revelations 19:2," which somehow struck both S and I as inappropriate.

What is even happening?

It's that extraneous "s" at the end of Revelation. Gets 'em every time.
