Dawn French. Love her. She was married to the guy who played ¡Chef! And her husband on another show. Love her.

Interesting. I've always thought it strange that as Europe becomes more secular the U.S. has become.e more religious.

I think my friend watches, or used to on BBC. The Vicar is a woman played by co-creator of Absolutely Fabulous?

It's almost scary. We considered not buying a house because you can almost feel a bad vibe. My husband truly worries about clans and religious militias forming or even civil war in the next ten years or so. We are in a beautiful pro equality community in the middle of the south. Very close to an already established clan.

I understand. It's sad to have to think that way but we do too. Not only because of our politics but because my husband is not American, speaks "American" with an accent, has slanted eyes, comes from the exotic Orient. :-) It embarrasses me what he has to deal with here. We lived in China, I only experienced overt prejudice once and the man seemed to be mentally ill. Here in the U.S. it's "respected" people dishing out vitriolic lies against poor people and minorities. I'm embarrassed a lot these days. He was seriously confused and became physically ill when he watched the Vindication of a Christianist Trollop: The Kim Davis Story. He kept saying in a weak delerious voice, "Did you see it? Arms raised triumphantly to 'Eye of the Tiger'; crying. Huckabee babbling. I feel sick." I keep telling him to stop watching the news. He doesn't listen to me.

My husband says the same to me. Says it gets me worked up because it reinforces my one real prejudice. Yes, I must admit, I am prejudice... against stupid people. I am not any religion but recently worked in a Christian non-profit organization. No one acted like that. And you didn't have to be Christian to be there. Everyone was welcome to assistance. THAT (Davis) floored me. I'd say because I'm younger but none of my elders would have done that,and they were Christian.

Let's dis-torte the entire issue.

I have seen humpback whales that would have a real tough time with that maneuver. Also, too, gorillas. And horses.

I want to see a dachshund try to lick its own genitals.

Jindal keeps getting crazier and crazier. Somebody needs to put him in an institution to protect us from him.

"Apparently, if you mishandle classified information in America, you can run for president, but if you don’t believe in gay marriage you go to jail." HEY! This looks like a fun game, let me try: apparently if you like dogs you can be a lawyer, but if you like spaghetti nobody likes you. It's fun spewing nonsensical sentences.

I really want to exchange some classified documents. I bet that would be way hotter than exchanging regular documents.

What pisses me off most about Jindal is that I know he doesn't believe the shit he says. He has a degree from Brown in biology and was a Rhodes Scholar. When he gives the "I'm not a scientist line," when asked about evolution, it's just a blatant lie. He's not stupid, he just caters to the vast sea of stupid.
