I guess I wasn’t paying attention. Good thing there are sources on the web to explain history to me.

But then, isn’t everything? We had a veritable orgy of communion wafer consumption in Springfield, enhanced by a chocolate coating. Why can’t the transubstantiation trick involve chocolate and milk instead of bread and wine?

The infamous anti-gay legislator from Oklahoma, Sally Kern, was interviewed by the Oklahoma Daily. The story has some fine bon mots, like her definition of evolution:
Kern defined evolution to me as “the process of wanting to create something or have something be perfect. Get rid of that which is not healthy and strong.”
That’s a very common creationist misconception: they can’t imagine a natural process that doesn’t have wants, that is lacking that teleological impulse.
The writer sent me the outtakes from the interview. If you want more Kern uncut and uncensored, look below the fold.
