Dear President Obama and all of the members of Congress:

Kindly stop thinking and voting with your book of mythology and start thinking and voting with the Constitution of the United States of America that all of you swore to uphold. Every single one of you should be ashamed of yourselves right now for the travesties that have taken place in the states that tell a large chunk of their populations that they’re not good enough to get governmental benefits for making a commitment to a partner of their own choosing. Repeal DOMA. Fix ENDA to include everyone. Government-sponsored health care may be a socialist program, yes, but how’s that police force, fire department, public library and public school system workin’ out for you?

In other words, grow up. You are in Washington to represent us, not to stay in office. Because you can bet your over-privileged asses that if you don’t represent us, we will be very certain that you won’t stay in office.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Bredeson
Pissed-off voter

Evidently, last week, Pat Robertson’s CBN website posted some bullshit. This isn’t exactly news because the tinfoil hat-wearing asstards over there are always posting some bullshit. However, this was bullshit that made most of the rest of the Religious Reich look at them and go, “Homosaywhat?” Evidently, according to one Kimberly Daniels, the entire Halloween candy supply has been “dedicated and prayed over by witches.”

Um, homosaywhat?

Seriously? It’s not bad enough that the main Christian holidays were, as has been said a eleventy-pi times, stolen by the Catholic church and Jeezified so as to make the filthy pagans come worship where they were told and to the god they were told to worship, but now this crazy bitch is going after the fucking candy? Woman needs to take her meds. And the CBN pulled the “story” (well, it really is a story, but it’s pure, unadulterated fiction) within hours of it going live. Someone had a lucid moment, evidently.

This piece of crap “reporting” was balanced by a well-done post by Vin Suprynowicz. I tend to not read a lot of political blogs (I have a hard enough time keeping up with a half-dozen podcasts), but when Brett posted this link to Facebook, I went and read. And giggled. And cackled with glee. It made me happy. Of course, some people may take umbrage with it. That’s fine; take as much as you want. More will be made, I’m sure.

What does umbrage look like, I wonder? I’m guessing it’s remarkably similar to a glass swan. And we all know that CBN and the rest of the Religious Wrong is pumpin’ out enough of those that they’ll scrape the Sahara to bedrock in a couple of weeks.
