Religious observance is on the decrease - but religious ostentation is increasing in politicians.<br /><br />Mitt will overcome this problem by telling us us a few more lies. This is one thing I really like about Austria.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283813317560446754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-88634402365389615402010-07-02T02:09:46.576-04:002010-07-02T02:09:46.576-04:00Mitt Romney has one big problem: Erklärungsnot.

And being anti-catholic is tops.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-75093005832513339512010-07-01T17:04:01.656-04:002010-07-01T17:04:01.656-04:00My Fellow Merkins....

Can you hear me rending garments?<br /><br />That recent somewhere you were ranting was my blog, btw. My husband and I were having a disagreement yesterday about who was more likely to get into office in the U.S., an athiest or an agnostic. He thought atheist (because they at least took a stand for something). I still disagree. I don't think an athiest will ever get into office here. An agnostic might (might) have a fighting chance. Though honestly, we'd probably elect a Scientologist first.Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099758957492165428noreply@blogger.com
