Adding headline - I considered the name of the link descriptive enough, but I now see it doesn't all show.

2. Oops!

Will find and fix, because it really made me happy.

3. Yes, it sounds very encouraging.

4. now the link works

and I remember when this came out. It's quite encouraging. The numbers will only go up the more of us come out of the darkness. I hope we can break our American habit of having religious revivals every so often. I think there is just too much science now to have a huge resurgence of religious belief here in the West, but that still leaves this creeping darkness otherwise known as Radical Islam.

5. Translation: 58% of Americans

are sick to death of smug, bullying, bornagain fundegelical asshole Republicans.

6. Fixed link

Now that I see what kind of web site that's from, however, I feel like I need to scrub my computer clean.

7. Oops on my part?

I found the stat while looking around in response to Bernie's God comments - didn't even look past the headline.

8. Don't worry about it.

Most of us have found something and quickly linked to it. We don't seem to do it as often as our friends in...some other groups, though.

We can always use the defense of "even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then." Or "stopped clock is right twice a day."

9. Well, that's encouraging.
