BUTTHOLE SUN,

Won’t you come?

And wash away the rain?

(Edit: forgot lyrics changed ‘tears’ to ‘rain’ apologies.)

A 2021 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 23% of Republicans believe that “the government, media and financial worlds in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.”

I'm torn between thinking "Well, Marx didn't think of that" and "it's predictable that during the death throes of hypercapitalism the proletariat may get a bit fuzzy-headed."

I ain't a pedophile, but I wish I controlled part of the government, media, and/or financial worlds.

Exsqueeze me, baking powder, it sounded like you just said butthole sunners. I, uh... I need an adult.
