4. She was chosen to bypass reason
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 01:48 PM by foxfeet
and to appeal directly to the reptilian brain. And many people operate on just that level.
Recommended.

7. Her fans are the scariest
I imagine if she whips a Bible in order to figure out what she should do about the trade deficit or climate change they still won't think that this is strange.

If she jump starts the Apocalypse and no one gets raptured and lot of people are going to be pissed.

8. Everyone claims to want
to provide the best education for their children. But when they succeed, they hold them in contempt. Only in America.

11. WTF is up with that headline??!!
"When Atheists Attack"??

Granted, Harris can sometimes be inflammatory, but he is, above all, reasoned. The editors of Newsweek have dismissed his article from the outset by sticking such a stupid and misleading headline on top of it. They should be ashamed of themselves.

14. "Her fans seem inclined to forgive her any indiscretion short of cannibalism"
Not true. She could eat Trig live on Rachel Ray and her fans would be beside themselves in admiration.
