  1. The idea that the Duggars are campaigning for Akin is really disturbing, almost as disturbing as the idea that Akin might actually win.

    1. Post Mormon Girl -- Given the Christian Patriarchy leanings of the Duggars, it doesn't surprise me. I just hope he doesn't win!

  2. Man Ahab, I just skimmed over three of these articles and talk about living in a disturbing alternate reality. The fact that the crazy right wingers apparently represent a substantial segment of our society is simply mind blowing. It's insane! Here's hoping they are a dwindling minority ... I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks.

    1. Cognitive Dissenter -- Aye, the election will tell. I hold out hope that their numbers are dwindling and a somewhat saner future awaits.
