It’s probably not good for my intellectual well-being, but I subscribe to a couple of right-wing mailing lists just to keep track.

This would be a good time for a semi-blasphemous profanity, but I’ll restrain myself. The latest project of the most wacked-out faction of the conservative movement is to re-translate the Bible because it’s too liberal the way it is now. I’m looking at you, King James.
The New Guy On The Left
