Okay, Dumb question here but I will be honest I am not very political that I know EVERYTHING

Terry Jones. Isn't that the Monthy Phython person my wife likes to watch or is this a completely different Jones?

I work night shift so a lot of this stuff is confusing me at the moment. PLEASE do not take my honest question about Terry Jones as being a Troll. I honestly am confused by everything I am reading this morning.

it's far friendlier for our fellow DUers to offer their expansive knowledge on this and any other subject, especially when asked

And if you don't know, it's always better to either say that, or offer nothing at all. "Google is your friend" or "Just Google it!" are rather dismissive statements, in my honest opinion

I find it funny in a way that all these right wing extremes in each religion want to start a holy war. I wish all of their gods would get together and knock their heads together.
