Amen.

Also I have never voted for a Republican as I was instructed from an early age that to do so, would imperil my soul.

I would never vote for a Republican.

I did, however, vote for a Mountain Party (WV Greens) for governor once as a protest vote.

I've never really gotten the concept of a protest vote - but I might have fallen for the siren song of the two party system and all the perils inherit in it. But then here in Texas your choices are typically Hard-right Republican, Batshit Crazy Republican, Guy Running As Libertarian That Will Vote With The Republicans, and the two types of Democrats are either Idealist That Will Never Make It or "Hi I'm the sort conservative Democrat folks used to vote for back when we were technically a blue state".

Watching my folks slowly turn in to a Tea Party Boomer stereotype has been pretty interested, but even they have their positive moments. They're still anti marriage equality but my dad the Scout Master has at least accepted what Robert Gates is getting up to. Which, as an Eagle Scout, I'm happy to see. I knew so many closeted scouts and scouters growing up that I'm glad are finally being accepted. And if it drives off the loving Mormons and the crazy evangelicals so much the better.

I was raised by a very liberal Father and a mother who changed from conservatism to liberalism in the 70s. Both parents were Librarians. My dad headed his union. Both parents raised me in a high Anglican setting. But they told me that Evolution happened, and taught me about the big bang when I was like six so I believed in science for the most part. I Except for flirting with Libertarianism when I was a teenager, and atheism in the early twenties. I am not that removed from them. I have actually gotten a little more religious and no longer can support liberalism because of my world outlook. I am not that far removed from my parents when you actually consider my overall belief system.

Apparently George Mason U is quietly rebranding its Antonin Scalia School of Law because they noticed that people really like shortening it to ASSoL and ASSLaw for some reason.

They're going with the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, which still sucks.

Scalia would've loved the idea of a school named after him being shortened to ASSLaw. Say what you will about his jurisprudence, the guy liked a good butt joke.
