A long time ago, while living in Norfolk, VA, I made a number of trips to the Idaho National Engineering Lab, in Idaho Falls, Id.
The trip involved flying in and out of Salt Lake City, UT. On the trips home, I'd inevitably end up next to a shiney, newly-minted Mormon missionary, out to gather souls for the Mormon vision of Christ. And, just as inevitably, the missionary would launch into the missionary spiel.
(Yes, it took me a while to auger in on this checkmate.)

Missionary: Have you accepted Christ as your savior.Peaceful flight guaranteed.
Me: No, I've accepted Ernie the Goatfucker.

If you lived through the Carter era, this is pretty disturbing.
Happy Earth Day, tovarich.

Well, she's been an utterly feckless Secretary of State, so I guess it's high time to move her on to an office that's not worth a bucket of warm spit.

I'm not one to boycott, especially any form of ethanol, but this is a little over the top.
What does it say about our political and business elites, about our poor country, that this is considered fit advertising?
