That actually doesn't make it less scary.

I find it scarier that a candidate's religion would "matter" to a US voter in 2012.

You and my three-year-old both.
Aw, man! Here I was, thinking it was an accomplishment. I never had done it before, and a 3-year old beats me to it.  :(

I love this kind of artbook! Lots of engravings from 17th-19th century. I love the detail of the art style, the atmosphere and drama of the scenes, the occasional artistic gesture that fails with humorous results (more than occasionally, actually, as the making of biblical etchings seems to have largely been the task of 2nd-raters), the insight into cultural ideas transmitted over the centuries. Plus there are maps showing the location(s) of the Garden of Eden (plus the land of Nod)!

We have sooo much in common.
Hmmm... that's shocking. You, too, huh?
Well... I am made up of molecules and drink water to survive. I bet there's a difference there!

Unfortunately, I doubt that will change any time soon.

I think the atheists would have legitimate beef with candidates who think supernatural beings affect events on Earth (e.g. W).

I had to work.  No time off for good behavior.

I always work Labor Day, and other holidays. But I'm off today, thank goodness, because it's...Tuesday, hell yeah! Who doesn't love a, Tuesday?

I do, I loves me a Tuesday.

What part? I spent some time at GMU in Fairfax, good friends that live in Reston and Burke.

Based in Falls Church. We hit the Hillwood Estate Museum & Gardens, and the National Portrait Gallery.  And left ample time for what I believe is technically called chillaxing.
