Every last bit of campaign news has become a new test of tiresome. We are tired of hearing about
Mitt's religion for so many reasons. To be sure Mormonism is slightly flaky, and sometimes suggests less a faith than some sort of cloning apparatus, but haven't we had people of various flaky faiths in public office before? Something called "Deism" was Jeff's idea of religion, and that didn't stop FDR from putting him on Mt. Rushmore. The time will come when one of
EDNA's friends will be president. All this blather about religion further makes us realize a political leader is nothing without his platitudes, and platitudes are nothing without a firm foundation in some sort of false ecumenical Frank Capra notion of religion that passes for worship of God these days.
