Sarah Palin supporters interviewed at book signing.
The level of ignorance on display is somewhat staggering. (Though to be fair, I'm not sure the audience at an Obama book signing in 2006 would have done any better.)
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.
'Serenity'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I must not have been paying attention because I didn't realize that Woody Allen's estranged son with Mia Farrow, Ronan Farrow was a child prodigy and human rights activist. (Handsome fella, too.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have thoughts on the Stupak amendment, but they usually end with me getting angry so I'm not going there.
Same here. I'm living in Angry Central lately anyway (and came thisclose to walking out of Mass on Sunday, and I need to talk to my pastor about it because the rage issues are sliding me into crisis-of-faith territory, which is a very dark, very bad place for me to be).

Clearly, I'm feeling masochistic today.

Maybe not. Though I think even a very well informed person would have a lot of difficulty trying to answer questions about Palin's policy positions since she really doesn't have very many.

I've been in a weird spiritual place as well, but it's not a crisis. It's more like I am being confronted with the realization that I'm an oddball in that I'm a believer who has rejected religion. My daughter wants to go to a church, and I want to take her, but I'm not sure which one to go to. Not Catholic (sorry), and found the Unitarian Church not spiritual enough. Episcopalian?

That's the biggest difference, IMO. In many cases, the reporter is asking trick questions because Palin herself can't articulate her positions on specific policy issues beyond "I'm a maverick and I hate taxes! Get out of my way government, I like freedom!"

Hearing a self-identified Christian in that video whining that her "rights" are being taken away fills me with rage. CRY MOAR, WRONG PERSON.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Episcopalian?
The priest at the Episcopalian church I sometimes go to didn't even blink when I told her I had "Jesus issues" from growing up in an interfaith household and from some of the "Christians" who are loudest. We also pray for different religions and nominations (and not in that "may they find the light" way). They are lefty, service-oriented, have weekly meditation meetings, etc.
Anyway, could be worth a try.
