America's #1 Christian Commentator weighs in on 'Wife Swap'
As you can imagine, television and America-hating Liberal Hollywood offers little in the way of edifying entertainment for a Christian mother of three beautiful children. As a responsible and caring parent, I try to limit my children's viewing time to just over six hours a day. But I'm glad to report that a positive trend has begun to emerge on our nation's televion sets; an encouraging sign that 'hope is on the way' for homemakers across this great country of ours.

The Christian majority, who have for so long been ignored by the far left Hollywood establishment is finally making inroads towards bringing the backlash back to the forefront of the culture wars. It thrills me to say that we are finally ushering in a new era of strictly enforced gender roles not seen since 'Queen for a Day' went off the air half a century ago. Tell me you don't hear church bells pealing out across this great nation of ours as we tune in to watch yet another reality show celebrating matrimony, and narrowly defined mommy/wife roles for women. This sudden onslaught of backlash programming like FOX's Trading Places' and ABC's 'Wife Swap' couldn't have come at a better time for this concerned and blameless parent of a troubled twelve year old. It pains to admit that our otherwise perfect daughter, Misty, regularly burns her twig thin arms with the lit ends of my Virginia Slim Menthols - a filthy habit she picked while she was still in diapers.

1. Almost passed this one by until I spotted the URL.
Scathing little satirical piece. My favorite line: bringing the backlash back to the forefront of the culture wars. A savage hoot!

Just don't tell me that Jolene Fystenbutt is her real name (although, you never can tell, eg, Jerry Falwell).
