When the Going Gets Weird, the Weird Turn Pro.

I believe that, as a nation, we are now surfing the curl of weird. For even this entry on the Borowitz Report is not so outlandish that it could not conceivably be true.

Telling a crowd of supporters that the separation of church and state “makes me want to throw up,” GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum today proposed replacing church and state with a new entity he called “sturch.”

“Merging church and state into sturch will benefit all Americans,” he said. “Except maybe Jews.”

Mr. Santorum said that the combined entity would offer greater convenience to the American people than the separation of church and state currently does, since Americans would be able to get salvation and motor vehicle renewals at the same place every Sunday.

I can totally see Frothy proposing that. It wouldn't be the weirdest verbiage to come spewing out of his mouth.
