The Satan-wary parents of Bennett Colorado, who are up in arms because somebody "exposed" their children to a video of Gounod's "Faust". Jesus, what's next, recess screenings of Double Dong Debutantes? We'd also like to hand out a special "I'm not going to let my own stupidity stand in the way of my god-given right to be an idiot!" award to concerned parent Casey Goodwin, who sniffed, "I think it glorifies Satan in some way." Well put, Casey. We're sure you feel that way about most everything.

I think we should all glorify Satan in some way. Me, I'm buffing my kneecaps & learning Dutch.

You know what, a hardworking farmer does not usually have time to stand around posing for his portrait, and still less does his hardworking farm wife. I think the "American Gothic" couple MADE time because it was important to show off the pitchfork...a symbol of Guess Who...Satan can practically make a meal off the Heartland, we figure.

It is, we think, that painting, the clearest explication of the secret satanism at the heart of american fundamentalism. The devil, it makes clear, is them.
