Harris Has No Fears
It’s worth taking the time to read the entire interview with Rep. Katherine Harris in which she dismissed church-state separation as a “lie” and preaches the need to elect Christian officials. Perhaps most striking is the lawmaker’s certainty about her future (and we don’t mean political):

HARRIS: No question.
I guess she’s pretty certain that God doesn’t have any relatives who retired to Palm Beach.
