Wankers Corner*

Admittedly it's fucking easy to rip the piss out of both the American government and the insane strains of fundamentalist christianity in the U.S., but that doesn't negate the fact that done well it's truly fucking hilarious. So if you could do with a laugh (and this week they've been a bit thin on the ground) I suggest you shift yr cyberarses over to The White House and The Landover Baptist Church for some neo-con baiting fun.

On a slightly more serious note, we've all seen that when the seperation between church and state breaks down it has a similar effect to dropping a brick of potassium into water. It's a shame that a few more politicians in the states didn't take these words of Thomas Jefferson into account before letting Bush and his cronies run amok on their new crusade;

"They believe that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly; for I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

Those words, which are prominently carved around the ceiling of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington weren't refering to some 18th century equivalent of reds under the bed or Al-Q'aida. Nope, he was talking about the christian clergy itself.

*A town in Oregon, which I think would be a much more fitting capital for Bush's America than D.C.
