What are the odds she’s a whacko? I appreciate that she’s been open about that.

All she has to do is tell them she’s practicing a Muslim tradition. Boom. They’ll BUY her the colander for the photo.

At least.

Many proudly drove across county/state lines to vote for their god more than once....

Well I would let her do it too, it being an important part of her faith, but I would also put a restriction on her license that she must never be without it on her head... BOLO.

And you have to wonder just how many more of them there are. Oh how far we have fallen as a nation. Time was, she would have been prevented from ever getting behind the wheel of a car.

[Spaghetti Monster]

I've seen others deriding belief in God with this term. I wondered what its origins are.

Nonetheless, may the colander be with her. I hope she wasn't too strained.

a "Pastafarian" and member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which some critics call a parody religion. Eh?

At least they don't saw off the heads of those who refuse to convert . . .

* Freeper trivia: Who can identify the famous literary passage which first accused the law of being both an ass and an idiot?
