Dobson and his "Chapel-teria"

Great post from Kristen.

McCarty Musings: Chapel-teria- Kristen: "Listening to NPR on my way home from work the other day, I heard a little bit of a feature they were doing on the Religious Right's effect on (and ambitions in) politics.  Talking about James Dobson and his 80-acre 'Focus on the Family' Compound...excuse me...Headquarters in Colorado Springs, we got to hear a soundbite of a young woman giving a 'tour' of the facilities.  You hear her say, 'And this is our Chapel-teria.  It combines the function of both a Cafeteria and a Chapel.'  There is a cheery pride in her voice that activates my gag reflex.  There is no trace of irony, no sense of the ridiculous. "
