I've had to force myself to be rational, Ames, and look in the mirror in the dark to get over my fear - see, Jackie, no creepy lady with long fingernails is in there, just me with bedhead.Still, I don't LIKE it!
I know it's irrational. I still sing.
My friend Amy and I always chickened out when we'd try to do the Bloody Mary thing when we were kids. We'd only get around to saying it twice before we'd turn on the lights and start saying the rosary. I can't watch CandyMan because it's too like the Bloody Mary thingy... When I was in junior high, we played Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board at a Halloween slumber party... scared the piss out of me when one of the gals seems to float above our hands. We kept playing it, though.
Taking notes: *Choking the chicken means.....*

Christine O'Donnell, from a recent debate:"Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" O'Donnell asked him.
When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O'Donnell asked: "You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"
Oh dear.

No small reflection on the disordered mind of the current Republican primary voter/ Republican base.
Initially I was of the same view, Michelle. But in the exchange, once Coons recites directly from the First Amendment, and she responds by asking, “That’s in the First Amendment?” one has to assume she indeed is that lost. However, I do believe that in general she was attempting to advance that hard shell view that Christianity was baked into the Constitution by the Founders. It has become a fairly standard view among our increasingly radicalized brothers and sisters on the right to regard Thomas Jefferson as a nefarious Deist bastard for declaring that the amendment built, "a wall of separation between Church and State.”I will say, O’Donnell is one of our more affable political lunatics.
They do have that startling propensity, with many subjects, in fact most, to proclaim an alternative factual universe, outside of which the rest of us were “mistaught.”It has to be a testament to their commitment to sequestration in their enclosed milieu, and the power of the demonizing there of outside media, educators, experts, public intellectuals and global consensus that they feel so comfortable and secure in their singular alternate world.

There's an excellent article in the most recent issue of Time or Newsweek about how the tea partiers are using the constitution these days the same way the GOP used the Bible in the past. A Most Holy Book, that we need to follow To The Word with no change as we evolved. Ya know, like Jefferson said we should change. So the Bible is written by God and the Constitution is based on the Holy Writ.Hey, there's a rumor going around that one of the women who is beating the well established incumbent has a secret that said incumbent doesn't want to drag in but might anyway as the opposition plays even dirtier. The feeling is that of course it's an abortion by either Meg or Christine who preach right to life.
The tea baggers, essentially nothing more than the same old hard core of the Republican right really did achieve something of a public relations coup, when, after the Republican brand went completely into the toilet, the media and punditocracy re-branded them The Tea Party Movement.They do attempt to invoke the Constitution in the same frivolous and selective fashion as the Christian right long has attempted to do with the Bible. But virtually every reference to the Constitution I’ve heard from the current crop of Republicans has been staggeringly ignorant, a malignant bastardization, complete reinvention, or moonbat crazy.
Tea baggers. Yuck.Saw this description of their ideology in beeryblog today.
In the Bagger System, myths and magical gods explain all things. There is the free market god who fixes homelessness, hunger and poverty. There is the deregulation god, who fixes joblessness. There is, of course, the no taxes god who fills government coffers and fixes the deficit. There are lesser gods too, but these are the three main gods and they report, of course, to Almighty God. It is He who bequeathed to his chosen people the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and predatory capitalism, praise be his name.

Right - therefore, problem fixed.
If everyone who is sick, hungry, and poor dies, those problems are solved.
To this day I can only pee in a dark bathroom if I sing Jesus Loves Me to myself...
