"It is . . . Mr. Huckabee’s call for the quarantine of people with AIDS (well, the ones who got it having fun) that will act as catnip in places like South Carolina (outside of the better decorated homes in Charleston). Such medically-unsound, prejudice-pandering ignorance so artfully evokes nostalgia for the Reagan Administration, it may prove irresistible to a party eager to look back several administration in hopes of finding one that actually seemed to work, if only when seen through the generously gauzy veils of sentimentality.Frankly, I don’t understand the outrage over Mr. Huckabee’s call to quarantine people with AIDS. I thought America had already quarantines all gays. In places called “fashionable cities.'”
Nonetheless, a Southern Baptist preacher as President may prove ineluctable as America moves closer to becoming a theocracy. This righteous path is in defiance of Article VI of the Constitution, which peskily provides that 'no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.' The Founding Fathers, always eager to confound those of us eager to impute Christian zealotry to them 200 years later, would be a lot more infuriating if anyone actually still paid attention to the nonsense they scribbled about so-called 'rights' and 'separations.' . . .They would also be surprised to witness that this century’s religious fervor extends to dismantling their cumbersome Three Equal, but Separate Branches of Government tomfoolery. Today, American Christians look at those three branches as we do the Trinity. Three as One. With One of the Three doing all the talking."

Amen to that!
Handlin snakes ain’t nothin. l'm blood kin to a Gila monster. Can drink my weight in wolf poison. Massacre, bloodshed famine and drought all put meat on my bones. Hardship and slaughter: my daily bread. I can whip a full-grown longhorn cow with my hands tied. Make violent love to mountain lions.
You didn't fare too well at the Jersey Lilly, Rufus. Whether Reverend Mike has any more sense than you is yet to be seen.
Dear Virgil, As an employee of an unnamed Faith Based health care facility in Benton County with roots in St Louis and Rome I was shocked to find that the Web Censor software program used by our facility blocked Ms. Bowers blog, labelling it as "tasteless and offensive". I am now in a quandry as to whether it is now my moral duty to access this site from my home computer via a painfully slooow dial-up phone modem. Either way the picture says much and is truly appreciated. In part this is because I also trace my lineage back to a Greek snake handler who was struck down by Zeus with a thunderbolt either for accepting money for cures or for resurrecting dead people who became problems for the Gods because they then could vote as immortals independently in local Olympian elections. Its alway been a dangerous profession handlin snakes no matter what your background.
Dr. Welby:
Faith Based health care facility in Benton County with roots in St Louis and Rome? It must be the Sisters of Juno, or worse yet, that papist bunch. No wonder they block Mrs. Betty Bowers. It is your moral duty not only to visit the sight, but to bring the heathen to the fold.
Yours in gracious submission.
Mrs. Mike Huckabee
