Maybe you have seen the signs around town -Charlotte Bergmann Can Win. It is so great to see Republican political campaigns catch up with their overall commitment to mediocrity.

Kirk Cameron and his friend Ray Comfort “proved” the creationist theory with a banana here. If a banana proves creation, then what does another fruit prove? Behold the peach.
