I didn't want to see it badly enough to clear my one-member iggy list! (And no, I'm not ignoring myself!)

It all reminds me of something I was told about from the Reagan era. Reagan nominated someone for a post in the Health Department. It was then discovered that she had published material to the effect that people with disabilities - apparently, even congenital disabilities - are being punished by God for some sin, and therefore should not receive government help, as this is going against the will of God. Fortunately, the Senate was sane enough to deny her confirmation.
