I've just finished two days of canvassing in south central Pennsylvania, the bottom of the "T" that Carville described as "Alabama up the middle" and we've always called Pennsyltucky. We are McCain's firewall against Democratic turnout in Philly and Pittsburgh. We're where the Republicans have to run up the numbers to take Pennsylvania.

And they're not gonna do it.

Follow me over the rolling hills of southern PA....

Here's how well the current Republican Party obeys the Scout Law:

The two diaries posted recently by DarkSydeand PastorDan bring to mind an article in this month's Atlantic Monthly titled "Is God an Accident? The premise of the article is this:

Despite the vast number of religions, nearly everyone in the world believes in the same things: the existence of a soul, an afterlife, miracles, and the divine creation of the universe. Recently psychologists doing research on the minds of infants have discovered two related facts that may account for this phenomenon. One: human beings come into this world with a predisposition to believe in supernatural phenomena. And two: this predisposition is an incidental byproduct of cognitive functioning gone awry.
