Money- and idol-worship is American morality, no?  In fact, I think it is a
kind of poetic justice - the homophobic assholes that just handed Bush a big
victory getting screwed up economically even more.

Blaming "technocrats" is a bullshit excuse - Kerry did an excellent job
addressing various moral and religious issues in a statesman-like manner
without falling into theocratic thinking, but evidently that was not good
enough for the voters.  The problem is with the American people and their
delusions, not with politicians trying to preserve the semblance of sanity.
