"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."

What Breed of Liberal I Am
My Liberal Identity:
You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, Netroots activist, or Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservative hatriots must be exposed and mocked for every fanatical, puritanical, soulless, paranoid, fact-free, obstructionist ideal for which they stand.

Hi Farnsworth & company. Just dropping by for my Friday kitty fix. The ladies are looking lovely, as usual.
Do your cats hang around sinks?
No, they haven't figured out the whole sink thing (unlike the cat who owns a friend of mine -- he has to periodically lift her up to the slowly-running tap so she can get a drink of water), but they do love bleach.
Whenever we clean the bathrooms with a low-saturate bleach and water mixture, they sleaze all over the tile floor like it's smeared with catnip sauce.
BTW, sorry about the duplicate photo -- I just noticed it. My numbering system must have gotten messed up.
