After all, perish the thought of a publisher not mouthing the lastest PC shibboleths. Hmm, maybe I should write something and get them to publish it. I could use another bad guy medal.

Of course the same could also be said of Anton LaVey.

The US sent a battleship and marines to look into the matter,to the great terror of the Spanish government who could not release the Rev. Mr. Doane fast enough. Now, does anyone think that the marines will be airdropped onto Nepal for the sake of the missionaries? (Of course when the Scientologists take over I would not want to be anywhere near a country that would detain one of their missionaries...)

Well, I made my weekly visit to the Olcott Library and told my friend at the reception desk to expect strange and bizarre visitations. Well, the next week I came in and was greeted with, "Come to see the Devil Worshippers?" And much laughter because we were pretty much used to it what with Wheaton College being two miles down the road. So, jokingly, I said, that if they came in to just tell them that the Antichrist was reading in the library, and then I found a ancient book and sat down. Well, after a little while I looked up to find myself surrounded by a group of very neat young folks and one of them asked, without humor, "Are you really the Antichrist?" I laughed and said, "No, I'm the False Prophet, but the folks here don't know their Bible very well." And at that point the joke dawned on them and they realized how stupid they had managed to make themselves look.

What will matter is what is the price of gasoline a year from now because that is the only thing the voters are going to give a damn about. Right now, Obama is well under 50% approval in the Gallup poll and no president has gone into an election with less than 50% in that poll and been re-elected. So, if Obama's numbers stay the way they are, the Republicans could run a Kramer/Sprenger ticket and win. It's going to be about the economy, it always is about the economy. Nothing else matters.

Amazing. I remember one time back during the Satanic Panic talking to a friend of mine in law enforcement about the whole mess and I told him that if a prosecutor felt safe in bringing a case, he obviously was not dealing with the real thing, because the real Satanists would simply kill him.

After all, religious minorities are not exactly a priority with the bulk of the voters these days.

If she appeals to the voters who matter--the ones who can actually vote for her, it does not matter what anyone else thinks.

After all, there would not be much she could do except sound funny because no one else would take her seriously. And think of the running mate she will be for Sarah Palin next year.
