WHO’S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE HYPER-DEVOUT CHRISTIAN ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH A THEOCRATIC REGIME IN A POLITICALLY DIVIDED NATION FULL OF BELEAGUERED AND UNDEREDUCATED CITIZENS AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR RIGHTS AND SAFETIES?
DUH. JOSEPH KONY.
NO, THEY HAVE TO BE ACTIVE IN THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
OH, THEN RICK SANTORUM.
This freaks me out…kind of like crazy goat.
You have no idea how excited this makes me. No idea.
Also, how excited I am to be able to combine the tags for this post. Seriously.
…
This is my life.

MISS ORNATA, THANK YOU FOR COMING. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BILLY’S BEHAVIOR.
NOT ONLY IS HE AN INVETERATE FIDGETER, HIS TEACHERS FEEL HE IS FAR TOO CURIOUS ABOUT SUBJECTS OUTSIDE THE CORE CURRICULUM. HE HAS VERY FEW FRIENDS AND ALMOST NO INTEREST IN SPORTS. HE APPEARS BORED AND OFTEN WORKS AHEAD ON CHAPTERS NOT YET COVERED IN CLASS. IF THIS WERE THE 1980S WE’D SKIP HIM AHEAD A GRADE OR TWO OR PUT HIM INTO A PROGRAM FOR GIFTED OR ACADEMICALLY TALENTED STUDENTS, BUT THESE DAYS WE RECOMMEND ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BATTERY OF ADHD DRUGS.
AFTER ALL, MISS ORNATA, WE CAN’T HAVE FIDGETERS. IT DISTRACTS THE OTHER CHILDREN.
No child left behind.
LOOK, ROSE! THE FEATHERED SERPENT QUETZALCOATL! LORD OF THE STAR OF THE DAWN!
Oh, cool. I will totally cut out my heart or whatever. He’s into that.
NO, SILLY! QUETZALCOATL IS A GENTLE GOD TO WHOM WE ONLY SACRIFICE HUMMINGBIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES. YOU ARE THINKING OF HUITZILOPOCHTLI, FIERCE GOD OF WAR.
Whoa, I totally was.
