Well, the electrician came.

Many cries of "I don't believe this!" and "Who ever thought THIS was a good idea?" later we've determined... that they can't just fix it easily and we'll need to have somebody else out for a new estimate.

An open letter to somebody who will remain unnamed:

When you say that the rhetoric of the rightwing fundiegelical crowd is full of bigotry, including but certainly not limited to anti-Semitism, you're not wrong. I also agree with your implied suggestion that all this anti-Semitism is a bad thing.

However, when you then go from that starting point to the conclusion that these people are bad folks because they pay too much attention to the OT and not the NT, and that anybody who does that is hopelessly immoral, I worry that you have totally lost the plot. You should've quit while you were ahead.

If you can't figure out why those two statements don't belong in the same comment together, perhaps you should do some soul-searching. Actually, maybe you should anyway.
