The Goat Pen

Evangelicals have been looking the other way on their beliefs for years when it comes to POTUS elections. Reagan developed a nice script to serenade them but his actions showed him to be a pragamatist like everyone else. Bush Sr was a cradle Episcopalian that also said just enough to keep uber-righties in line though some lost interest in 92, so Bush Jr. took notice and ramped up the talk but still didn't do much on faith related legislation. Romney wasn't even Christian in the classic evangelist definition but he had the only quality that matters - he wasn't a Democrat. Put a low-key atheist in the nominee's chair and they'll rationalize a way to support him.

At least alcohol and dancing will remain legal for the forseeable future.

"Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane." - H.P. Lovecraft

I can only dance after consuming a significant amount of alcohol. But then, I'm practically Fred Astaire.

I'd like to dance on your grave...

Welcome back, hedge. Did the Betty Ford clinic give you your usual room?

It was the land of another first lady (Reagan) in which I sojourned...

I wish you'd sojourn into a tree shredder.

A+

Certainly one of your better ones, mainly b/c of the shock that you knew the definition of "sojourn", or, even more impressive, that you could figure it out from the context of my post. As I said, shocking...

There's no crying in the goat pen.

So you tried Passages Malibu?

That guy was once an addict but now he's not.

And he now has three balls.

As the the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates the true and correct Pascha (known as Easter among Western schismatics) at midnight tonight, another Chicago area miraculous icon starts weeping myrrh:

The church I served near Chicago had an icon that did that too for awhile.

My favorite Orthodox Easter tradition - two Greek churches shoot fireworks at each other in a mock battle:

I wish it was something more powerful than fireworks...

My favorite tradition is the burning of the church after the fireworks battle.

Getting rid of that church is long overdue. What a waste of extremely valuable land.
