"...self-immolating neolithic goatherds...."

I swear, one of these days I'm going to take some vacation just so I can go through Tam's archives and glean it for her outstanding quotable lines, which I'm then going to publish as a post of my own. One of today's posts is a perfect example, Dear God, I actually miss the commies.... The thing is, the whole post is quotable, not just a pithy line or two. Excerpt:

(The Soviets have) been replaced by our new foes, as depressing a lot as one could imagine: self-immolating neolithic goatherds drunk on a theology that makes the most ignorant snake handler in the backwaters of the Ozarks look like a regular Thomas Aquinas by comparison.

Hie thee hence.
