[rug]

2. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Aramchek]

3. what was the O'Donnel clip this week?

[jezebel]

5. Another one where she talked about how she "dabbled in witchcraft" and would have become a Buddhist

except for the fact that she couldn't become a vegetarian. She said she is Italian and loves her meatballs too much.

[babylonsister]

6. Ha!

Hysterical! :spray:

[mrcheerful]

9. I thought she said she was going for the Hare Krishna religion except they are vegetarians?

[crazylikafox]

12. correct

[karynnj]

13. Quite committed there!

But, if she is speaking of a time when she was a teen, this really is well within the norm. I know many thoughtful teens, looking for something spiritual to believe in who looked at various religions. Some, very seriously - reading extensively and attending services of different religions. This is a time for seeking identity and part of that can be challenging what - if anything - they believe in. My middle daughter, who graduated with a degree in Religious Studies, seriously investigated both her own religion, with the help of the Rabbi who recommended many books, and other religions.

In O'Donnell's case, she clearly did not have that level of intellectual commitment, but there clearly was a search for something to define her identity - and that desire, along with her limited self awareness and lack of thoughtfulness, is likely what led her to the radically RW evangelical organizations that she became part of. She sounds like a young person looking for a cult, the opposite of what someone seriously searching for meaning would want. Too bad that she wasn't given some truly delicious pecan meatballs - she would be less dangerous as a Buddhist.

4. I love Cornell West!

David Cross is amazing.

[hlthe2b]

7. The skit where he channeled "Barry Whitehouse" (Barry White)

trying to woo back the women who have felt "unloved" was hilarious.

[golddigger]

10. Yeahhh baby, move a little to the left.

:rofl:

[JamesA1102]

8. Yeah but what about next week when he has 2 conservatives again

Will he roll over for them like he did last week?

[Paladin]

11. I Have To Admit, I Didn't Watch Last Night's Show.

Last week's shit sandwich of a show infuriated me too much. Maybe next week.....
