Gotta hand it to Faytene Kryskow. She's so much of a dominionist theocrat that she jokes about it on Facebook. If you are cartoon savvy, that is.
Check out her Facebook profile page. At this moment it reads:

Political Views: PINKY AND THE BRAIN
Before you scratch your head, as I was a big fan of the cartoon, I can tell you that the cartoon was about these two lab mice, Pinky--who was dumb as a post--and machiavellian genius The Brain.
And what was the running gag of the cartoon? The Brain was trying to take over the world!
Pinky: "Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
The Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to take over the world!"
Those who fondly recall the show--or aren't dominionist theocrats--will be pleased to recall that the funny part of the cartoon show was that The Brian's convoluted schemes would always hilariously fail.
If Faytene is wanting to joke about trying to take over the world, perhaps she might not like to cite an example where the world is never taken over and hilarity ensures at the expense of the would be world rulers. (That sort of thing is called "speaking death" over something in charismatic circles.)
So which character would Faytene like to be, the genius who talks like Orson Welles, or the one who says "Narf!" ?
