When I first saw this development rising like cheap Lego houses from the marsh, I thought it was the most godawful ugly visual atrocity I had ever seen.
The faux Victorian architecture and garish colors–houses tricked out like streetwalkers in hot pink, bright yellow, powder blue, and kelly green–would make a Disney set-dresser blush.
It is difficult to resist schadenfreude at its comeuppance.

Republican Jesus 0
Inspired by Richard Mourdoch, the “rape is a gift from God” candidate, Tony Norman riffs on the God revered of the wingnutosphere. A nugget:
“I am the god of the 1 percent. You shall have no other gods before me. I help those who help themselves and visit poverty over many generations to those who would redistribute the wealth that I have freely given to those who luxuriate without guilt in my love. I reward the spirit of material excess because I hate poverty and the poor who have rejected my ways.
“I am a vulgar god who never tires of the misery perpetuated by those who exploit the resources of the planet for tax breaks and personal gain. The smoke of belching coal plants and runoff from hydraulic fracturing pleases me. Let those who refuse to rape the earth that I have made in six days be accursed.
