“Seasons in the Sun” edition. Well, without the dying and the sap and the Terry Jacks.

I read something today that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up (emphasis mine): In the rest of the interview, she basically suggests that about 60% of the evangelical community is politically conservative and won’t ever vote for a Democrat. But the other 40% will, and those 40% are worth trying [...]

And they would especially not do so when the adjective, in fact, fits. Behold Amy Sullivan, whose mission in life is to get Democrats to [...]
