Virginia Delegates Strike a Blow Against Brave New World, Satan

As reported in this Washington Monthly post, the Virginia House of Delegates just passed a bill forbidding employers and insurance companies from implanting microchips on people without their consent. Mind you, no employer or insurance company has yet attempted to implant any Virginians with microchips (that we know of). The VA House is just forward-thinking that way.

Here's where things get Jesus-freaky: while the chief sponsor of the bill wrote it to defend Virginians' privacy, some delegates passed the bill to protect humanity from the antichrist. As they explained it, some fear that these microchips could be used as the "mark of the beast" described in Revelations. Not so fast, Satan! You have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool Virginians.

Oh, and Georgia's legislature is apparently prepared to follow suit. Sheesh.

Now folks will understand why Dave and I were so shocked and jubilant when VA went for Obama. There's a whole mess of bat-shit crazy folks in our home state.
