Speaking of WTF? Has anyone been following this idiot Tancredo who is seriously arguing that Miami is a problem because it’s not “assimilated enough” into American culture. What an ass.

Harare man sues after dog bites off his manhood.

Frank doesn’t post anymore, for obvious reasons. But, if I had some time with him, I’d love to talk about Romney’s mormonism. Slate has a great article almost begging the presidential candidate to make his “I’m a mormon and proud of it” speech.
Mitt Romney has said that if his Mormon faith becomes an issue in his race for the presidency, he will address it at length in a speech. Does he have space on his calendar tomorrow?
The press is writing about his religion. Pollsters are asking about it, and GOP voters inevitably bring it up in any discussion of the 2008 candidates. Will his faith affect how he governs? Will it hurt his chances at winning the nomination? A debate in the blogosphere rages over Andrew Sullivan’s posting of a picture of the undergarment worn by some Mormons, an act that some of the faithful have found offensive.
When they’re talking about your bloomers, it’s time to clear a few things up.
It’s an interesting question and a telling one, I think. Will the evangelical wing of the Republican party vote for a person who has all of their values: no abortion, no gay marriage, no publicly-funded stem-cell research, etc., but whose values are based on a theology heretical to their own?
(I know, I know, it is possible to frame the evangelicals’ values in a way that doesn’t rely on the negative . . .)
Mormonism can be a little crazy. (Or, a lot.) But so can Christianity and Judaism and Islam and science and atheism, which is why I’m thinking about going Buddhist, which always makes sense. On the other hand, it’s a very unfamiliar religion, particularly considering how popular it is.
Anyway, interesting . . . and that underwear looks very uncomfortable.
