Cripes, it looks like we need a Buddhist Internet pornography site to generate some converts and some quick money. Then the BIP site can help fund a superPAC to promote a Buddhist presidential candidate. (They could hire Dan to crank out anti-Muslim vitriol―what's a campaign without venomous smears on evil opponents?) Once we get a Buddhist in the White House, we can paint it orange, and the Dharma will flourish from sea to shining sea.
