In lieu of actual Studio 60 commentary...

Questions I'd like to ask Aaron Sorkin: 

• So if Harriet's from Michigan, how come she's a Southern Baptist?
• Have you ever actually met any Christians besides Kristin Chenoweth?
• Speaking of, when is she going to get around to suing your ass?
• How did you ever get her to date your pompous ass in the first place anyway?
• Do you really think cocaine is less dangerous than alcohol?
• Are you back on the blow? Because you won't shut up about it.
• When exactly did you start believing your own hype?
• Did you realize there's a difference between witty and funny?
• Isn't it a little hypocritical of you to attack reality TV when you're mining so much of your work from your own life (and your ex-girlfriend)?
• Do you have any idea how ridiculous your obviously-referring-to-yourself-and-your-brilliance-and-doing-a-drama-set-at-the-UN dialogue sounds?
• Why does my fiance inexplicably love your smug, irritating, pretentious show?

The Southern Baptist Convention has spread its influence across the country. I read a commentary a year or so back about how, in a way, the Southern Baptist Convention's success beyond the South has represented the South winning the Civil War by dragging the entire nation down into religious fundamentalism and various forms of bigotry (more of the anti-gay variety now, since they did sorta blink on the racism that inspired the SBC's break from the rest of the Baptists).

So Harriet being a Southern Baptist from Michigan didn't even make me blink. And she very easily could have been raised as a Free Will Baptist (do whatever you want, as long as you show up on Sundays and tell God you're sorry) and gotten involved with the Southern Baptists later. I know the Free Wills are in Michigan -- my ex-fiancee knew kids growing up there who were in that church.
