Because Kael is brilliant, and makes me laugh. From a recent chat log:
Kael: Some Tea Party guy on a forum was arguing that... here it is: "For those of you from Europe, we do not have a tradition of being "ruled" like you do... In our tradition, the people are the rulers, and we tell the government what to do, not the other way around." And I wanted to do the math by way of demonstrating that our "traditions" aren't actually separate.
me: Ugh. I am actually offended by that. I'm used to being offended on the part of the MENA, not so much Europe. I mean, seriously, man?
Kael: Remember, it's not malevolence, it's ignorance. These are people who, on some level, really believe that the world was created around 1925.
me: In which case I wish they'd take a look at about 1939. Sigh.
Kaell: Wellll they don't like that part. Every night at bedtime they tell me to skip that chapter, and I'm like "kids, I know it's tough to understand, but this is the part that's going to help you someday," but they're like "NO WE WANT REAGAN" and there's nothing I can do.
