Life is just high school all over again:
In the eyes of many on the Christian right, each of the Republicans seeking their support has a significant flaw. Senator Sam Brownback supports a guest worker program. Representative Duncan Hunter wants protectionist trade policies. Some feel that Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, was responsible for tax increases in his state. And skepticism of Mitt Romney’s social conservatism remains strong. But Grover Norquist, an anti-tax advocate, told The Times’s David D. Kirkpatrick “that with the right promises, any of the four could redeem themselves in the eyes of the conservative movement despite their past records, just as some high school students take abstinence pledges even after having had sex.
“It’s called secondary virginity,” Mr. Norquist said. “It is a big movement in high school and also available for politicians.”
And listen, folks, it works for Democrats too:
“That nasty Bush boy told me it was just a banana and he was only going to put it in a little ways or I never would have let him do it. Believe you me, I’m never going to let anybody trick me that way again. Cross my heart and hope to die.”
Yeah. that made my day when i read this article over my coffee last morning. Bah, evangelists can still sleep tight this week, boys and girls: our holly supreme court is about to legislate on giving even more power to churches in grabbing more of your tax dollars through a more potent "faith-based initiative" program. Alleluia !
Funny this faith based supreme court we're having: before I finally gave up cigarettes this year (yes, I beat it two months ago) I used to smoke Phillip Morris's product for the last 15 years... but i still do not believe in God....

On his T-shirt it said "True Love Waits". Then his girl friend came out of the ladies room and she was a real tubbo, too. I could see the kid's point. I'd wait too, and forever.
