Writing in The New York Times, author Gary Wills made this observation about the inhabitants of the nation he calls home: "Can a people that believes more fervently in the Virgin Birth than in evolution still be called an Enlightened nation?"

I had no idea we were voting on Virgin Birth vs. Evolution.
I thought we were voting on Resolve vs. Surrender, Ownership Society vs. Big Government Socialism...
I'm glad the New York Times could set stupid ol' me straight with their more refined and mature understanding of contemporary politics.

I think the fact that in 2004 George W. Bush received more votes and a higher percentage of the votes in Massachusetts than in 2000, demonstrates that all this red/blue state analysis is a bunch of nonsense.

Kerry was an awful candidate, even the rats didn't like him.
