Ignorance

Few people had ever heard of Steubenville, Ohio, until a shocking act of violence catapulted the small town onto the national stage. What most people don’t know is that Steubenville is home to North America’s largest evangelical teen gathering, and for three days each summer in high school, I joined them.
You're not much of an American if you don't know that Steubenville is Dean Martin's birthplace. What's happening to our cultural history?

Let us take a moment to give thanks to the holy ghost (whatever the fuck that is) that we have mis-spent our lives on the far western edge of the continent, for whatever it's pathologies, it is not Ohio, Florida or any of those other places where people are proud of their stupidity...

(Of course, I would have rather watched Person of Interest, but nobody axed me.)

P.S. Mikey, somebody on this here weblog once mentioned a guy, Howard Jiveass or some such?

there was an amusing skiffy book a while back, "Only Begotten Daughter" where the second coming was in the person of a girl.

It wasn't subtle.

Jiveass Ho-Ward or not.

We have a vague memory of a NatLamp thing about "Jessica Christ." (OK, we have a vague memory of the title, no memory of the rest of it.)

Considering the Huguenots were run out of two countries, it's lucky they didn't become even more fanatically dedicated. Are you related to the Roosevelts?
