Consumer Torture

Arggghhhhhh, they've just come out with a line of better iMacs with more speed, RAM and HD space and a DVD burner that burns mutltiple layers. AND they dropped the price by $200 over the previous incarnation.

A huge chunk of BushCo's voting bloc is evangelical or born-again Christian. Millions of otherwise decent and sincere Americans who actually believe the Bible as literal word-for-word truth, verbatim, no questions asked, not metaphor and not parable and not lovely set of nice, same-as-every-other-religion mythologies by which we set our moral compasses, but a set of actual facts told in cautionary dramedy, like a silly locust-ridden reality-TV show. Extreme Jesus: Apocalypse Edition.
