What's wrong with this place?

We live in a society of fear and suspicion. Is it 1984 yet?

Mention of Scientology always agitates me. Their tax exempt status, and government lobbying makes grimace with impotent fury. And now they're branching out:

Who says that politics isn't always about money? They're wrong. And stupid. National politics in the US is a game of "who is richer?" /rant. Colbert is doing a real/mock/???? campaign for president. You may disagree, but I think it would be tremendous for a guy like Colbert to be prez. Anyway, apparently it costs $35,000 to be a candidate on the GOP ticket. I'm not sure if that's just in South Carolina, or if that's a National thing. Either way:
