Talking 'Baggers and their swingin' cods

"The tea party activist challenging House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has lost his teaching job over a racy Web video that went viral last week."
"J.D. Winteregg, who's received outside support from the Tea Party Leadership Fund in his bid for Boehner's House seat, had been an adjunct professor at Cedarville University, a small Christian college in Cedarville, Ohio, for three years. Last week, Winteregg was told his contract would not be renewed. Winteregg, 32, said in an interview that he was dismissed after his campaign released a video parody of erectile dysfunction advertisements."

This is all in my neck of the woods. Those guys at Cedarville are modern puritans, and not by halves.

The ad was tastelessy funny, I must admit. That doesn't sit well with puritans, I suppose.

I have often thought that this country would have been better off had Plymouth Rock landed on the Puritans.
