John, poetry is alive and well in the Royal Navy based on my experience. I previously alluded to Burns' Night readings on a submarine for example. That wasn't my idea, it's just part of their tradition. They don't seem to care that they don't understand the poems either.
History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme as they say.. I'm not convinced that these fringe politicians who are deliberatly trying to wind you up actually hold much power at the top level. It's just a sideshow at the circus. But when you get angry and pit yourself against the other side then that's what they want because it serves their agenda. I'd just ignore.
Alabama must be a safe seat but I can't see this guy being taken seriously far beyond that state and others at the extremes of Christian fundamentalism.
