State-approved insanity
The Wall Street Journal has just reported that three Christian ministers claim t' have snuck into a Senate hearin' room in order t' anoint th' chairs that will be used fer Samuel Alito's confirmation hearin' next week.
"We did adequately apply oil t' all th' seats," th' Rev. Ahoy! Rob Schenck tells th' Journal. Schenck and his colleagues insisted that they aren't takin' sides in th' confirmation fight. But Schenck said that God is "interested" in "what goes on" in Alito's confirmation process.
The title "Reverend" is carried by a lot o' lunatics, isn't it?
I have a hard time imaginin' a Lord o' th' Universe who whispers into th' ears o' th' Three Stooges that they ought t' go grease up a couple o' chairs t' lubricate th' approval process fer his chosen wingnut. It's almost as hard t' imagine that these kooks have congregations that respect and follow them…

That's th' bit that gets me. Would it have been possible t' put an insufficient amount o' oil on these seats? Enough oil t' make it a bit slippery, but not enough t' allow th' power o' th' Almightly Lord t' manifest properly?
What's th' whole point o' this action? (Other than flauntin' one's self-rightousness, o' course.) Do these priests think that God is standin' up on a cloud lookin' down at th' room and shoutin', "I can't hear what's goin' on, and a bucket o' chum! You'll have t' cover everythin' in oil first." {/if}
