Maybe the Christian right need a morning after pill after all!

It's happened to all of us. We go out for a good time and head down the pub where, after maybe one or two pints too many, we meet someone we think is nice, they seem to share our world view and promise to take of us. So we let them take us home.

Then in the cruel and early light of morning we discover that everything isn't quite at it seemed last night. (Was it the drink?) They aren't as attractive as they seemed. They smell just a little bit off - a curious mixture of sour milk and piss perhaps. They no longer seem to agree with our viewpoints and it doesn't seem like they have any interest in taking care of us. Whoever they are, they are lying in bed next to us smoking a fag with a cynical smile on their face. It is any wonder that we feel all dirty and used?

Of course not. It's just that evangelicals aren't as used to it as the rest of us are so it seems a far sight worse from where they're sitting. To make sure this doesn't happen to these nice people again I recommend that they continue sitting wherever it is they are now until at least a couple of days after the election. Trust me on this. Would I lie to you? (About this?)

It will be so much easier on all of us!
