Wow, what a bummer, huh?

After being a zombie for much of yesterday, I was encouraged (ever so slightly) by Bush's stated intentions to bring the country back together. The fact remains that I wouldn't trust him to watch my pet rock, but I guess we'll just have to see.

Like many people, I'm just now realizing the tremendous influence of evangelical politics.

Interesting reading:
Presidential politics and the evangelical movement
the evangelical outpost
Ruling Divides Evangelical Christians (regarding a ten commandments monument in an Alabama courthouse)
Christian Politics in the Third World
Evangelicals frustrated by Bush
Evangelical about politics
Evangelical surged to vote and 'shape public policy'
The Christian Right
Evangelical Christianity Has Been Hijacked

Welcome to the most influential cult in America, folks.
