We couldn't have that

Inevitably, someone finally has pointed out publicly that Alabama's primary next year will be held on June 6. Get it? 6/6/06. The mark of the beast! Well, except for that extra zero. And except for the strong probability that the number actually is 616 and was mistranslated hundreds of years ago. But still.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, one of former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's biggest supporters has withdrawn her backing from his gubernatorial run, predicting that his election would cause a federal-state showdown that would lead to government enforcement of a "dominionist" interpretation of Old Testament law that would permit executions of people who dared to be gay or to sass their parents. See, it'd all be part of a greater, cataclysmic conspiracy, but you'll have to piece that together for yourselves.
