The Captain is so peppy, you'd think he was promoting Red Bull.

That's right -- attendance at my church is prohibited. No one shows up. In fact, we don't need a physical building for this reason. Physical manifestations of faith are so unenlightened.

As far as Abba, he probably still sees it as 'that new-fangled crap the kids listen to these days'. If the RNC has any class at all, they won't let Brian Setzer in the state of Minnesota, much allow him to make that noise he makes (there is good swing, and there is THAT).
