They're doing it again. The raving mad wackaloons are oiling up the hearing rooms for the Sotomayor confirmation. This is called "anointing", where some true believer thinks it will make a god pay special attention to an event if it is greased up first…which makes me wonder if there can be any point to church services if god is spending all of his time hanging out at the McDonald's down the road.
