Badtux the Snarky Penguin

In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.

What would it be like if Unitarians went jihad?

Gruesome!.

We are Unitarian Jihad. We will appear in public places and require people to shake hands with each other. (Sister Hand Grenade of Love suggested that we institute a terror regime of mandatory hugging, but her motion was not formally introduced because of lack of a quorum.) We will require all lobbyists, spokesmen and campaign managers to dress like trout in public. Televangelists will be forced to take jobs as Xerox repair specialists. Demagogues of all stripes will be required to read Proust out loud in prisons.

People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Hmm... must say that when it comes to that jihad stuff, the Unitarians don't quite inspire the kind of fear that, say, Islamic Jihad (or Bush Christian Crusaders) does... but then, these are the same terrorists behind the Cover the Uninsured Week (May 1-8, 2005), so maybe they DO inspire terror -- in health insurance executives.

I may be addressed as Sister Unarmed and Dangerous - or Sister Preferring Harry Winston. Either way! Sister Orbital Sander?

Is everyone here replete with nomenclature?

Woot! I didn't realize you had posted this first, BadTux. I picked it up over at Electrolite. I'm The Sword of Reasoned Discussion.

I've GOT to remember to put you on my blogroll...

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce." -- Molly Ivins, 1944-2007 "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
