I couldn't resist you, I'm not deaf dumb and blind

Do people like this student even realize how bigoted they sound? Makes me wonder how long we'll have to wait for a new Test Act that also bars evangelicals -or people who look and sound like evangelicals- from office. Judging from the confirmation hearings for Justice Alito last year, some people evidently think there's one in effect already.

Tonight I'll probably be working on my apazine for this weekend's StippleAPA, which as usual I've done absolutely nothing with in the last six weeks since Arcana. I did a little background work for Blood Red Skies today which should make writing the battle scenes in the middle chapters a lot easier, but I'm dubious about whether I'll actually get any actual writing done.

As for the weekend, aside from the Stipple collation, a stop by the library to pick up the new David Drake novel Some Golden Harbor (one of the Lieutenant Leary series, featuring the most lethal librarian in the universe) and a programming meeting with [livejournal.com profile] thaadd sometime Sunday, I don't have any plans, because those usually require money, and that's going to be scarce for a while.

This is the way the system was set up, and the further we get away from that (whether by Federal laws or Federal judges' fiat) the more fucked up things get. It took fifty years to even begin reversing some of the crap that came with the New Deal, and it'll probably take until at least 2033 for us to weed out the most pernicious socialist aspects of it.
