well our current prez talks to god personally....so weird is a pretty relative thing at this point.

not sure thinking you have a personal back and forth with the creator of the universe on foreign policy is stranger than thinking that this creator lives on one made up planet or a slightly less specific location....

bizarro world= our world.

Might people also be interested to know that Mitt Romney, when asked "What is your favorite book?", replied,

"Battlefield Earth" !!!!!

by L. Ron Hubbard, the science-fiction writer and Scientology founder.

That is just weird -- if not downright scary -- that someone running for POTUS and who professes to be a member of a 180-year old science fiction cult cites a work by the founder of a 60-year old sicence fiction cult. The wierdness factor is huge.

Yes we are eligit.

Might we too want to know that
- Jesus visited the Americas after his death
- God lives on planet Kolob
- American Indians came from the Middle East
- black skin color is a curse for "sin"
- an so on...?

Many people -- secular, atheist, and believer alike -- might be interested in what people believe, esp. someone who will be carrying around the Nuclear Football (that black briefcase with the nuclear arming codes).

@World's Toughest Milkman - saw it - Russert let him get away with a lot of BS answers. Also, I want that reimbursement question asked. If he won't, he should be sued - period.

Please ask Andrea what the reaction has been to Rudy getting Judi a police escort before she was even a public figure. Also, has there been any talk here in NYC of getting him to reimburse for all that protection we paid for?? - signed, an angry taxpayer.
