I am nothing if not eclectic...

EDIT: That Frontline show I mentioned will be shown again tomorrow, at least. It includes an interview of the Lutheran who caused such a ruckus by participating in an interfaith service.

To help you with your latest labelling project, I thought I'd post this joke that somebody sent me this morning:

A first grade teacher explained to her class that she was a liberal Democrat. She asked her students to raise their hands if they were liberal Democrats too. Not really knowing what a liberal Democrat was, but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands exploded into the air like fleshy fireworks.

There was, however, one exception. A little girl named Lucy had not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asked Lucy why she decided to be different. "Because I'm not a liberal Democrat," Lucy said. The teacher asked, "What are you?" "I'm a proud conservative Republican" boasted the little girl. The teacher asked Lucy why she was a conservative Republican.

Lucy proclaimed, "Well, I was brought up to trust in myself instead of relying on an intrusive government to care for me and do all of my thinking. My Dad and Mom are conservative Republicans, and I am a conservative Republican too."

The teacher calmly pointed out, "That's no reason. What if your Mom and Dad were both morons? What would you be then?"

Lucy answered, "Then, I'd be a liberal Democrat."
