I know Halloween isn’t for another few weeks, but in case you (like I) were feeling a little more satisfied and secure about our chances of winning this election watching McCain and especially Palin these last couple of weeks, consider this and redouble your efforts.

I know that a third of Americans (at least!) are stupid as hell, but a lot of people don’t really know what the word “literally” means and constantly use it inappropriately, to mean “really.” Even Joe Biden has been dinged for it: (http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/08/27/biden-literally-serious-that-s-he-s-not-joking-or-making-this-up.aspx)
So while I don’t doubt we have a third of this country way too Jesused-out for our own good…I’m skeptical of any study that asks a bunch of rednecks if they think the Bible is “literally” true. I wish they would have phrased the question differently…
I hope Ben’s right…….
