The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile
but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this
indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of
death- however mutable man may be able to make them- our existence as a
species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the
darkness, we must supply our own light.

"I've covered politics for a long, long time, but this is the first time
witchcraft has ever come into it." -Bob Schieffer, host of
CBS' "Face the Nation", on Christine O'Donnell's candidacy for the
U.S. Senate.
Article VI, paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The Senators
and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several
State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the
United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or
Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall
ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under
the United States."
The "no religious test" clause of the Constitution is pretty clear; it's
the only time the word "ever" appears in the document. Which means, as
strange as it may seem, that O'Donnell's "dabbling" should not be an
issue in her campaign.
As far has her being an unqualified Looney Tune who appears to live in a
demented reality of her own creation... well, have at it.
And thanks, Delaware Republicans, for giving the Democrats the senate
seat in November.
Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures. -Bernard Baruch
