Uber-wingnut Tom Tancredo continues to bring the crazy, this time repeating yet another of those urban myths passed along in emails from one right wing loon to another.
"I remember a little thing, like Ms. Obama saying she didn't want any Christian artifacts in the White House during Christmas time," Tancredo said.Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...
From our old pal Joseph Farah:
Legally speaking, though, even in an increasingly secular society like ours, there is a reason same-sex marriages could never be recognized. A marriage that is not consummated has long been considered incomplete, not deserving of any legal recognition whatsoever. A marriage union that remains unconsummated never happened in the eyes of the law. So please tell me how a same-sex couple consummates one of these make-believe marriages? Acts of sodomy were never considered consummation in the eyes of the law. Again, this suggests that whatever it is the homosexual activists are trying to achieve through their relentless campaign, it is not marriage.Read the comments on this post...
A poster at Reddit named mrsammercer has a brilliant idea: Stephen Colbert should hold a rally at the Lincoln Memorial to restore truthiness to America. It came to her in a vision:
I was woken in the middle of the night by this(along with the sound of my cat getting ready to pee on the rug).Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...Think about it. It'll be just like Colbert's mockery of GW Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondent's Dinner, but 500,000 people will be able to participate with him. We'll all stay totally in character as teabaggers. The kid with the microphone that interviews all the idiots at these things can come by and we'll ramble into his microphone.
This would be the high water mark of American satire. Half a million people pretending to suspend all rational thought in unison. Perfect harmony. It'll feel like San Francisco in the late 60s, only we won't be able to get any acid.
With all of the talk from conservatives about Obama being viewed as the messiah in mind, take a look at this video of Glenn Beck declaring that his rally and the movement he's trying to lead is on par with the American revolution and the end of slavery. Seriously:
Beck: This is the third Great American Awakening. There have been two. One started by George Whitfield, and it led to the American Revolution. The second one happened in the 1840s and '50s, and it started with people of faith, of all faiths, and it led to the freeing of the slaves. This one is going to restore our Constitution. It's going to restore individual responsibility. It's going to restore faith, hope, and charity.Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...
Another hilarious routine from David Cross, this one about religion.

Here's one of the most embarrassing bits of video you will ever see from a major politician. This is Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer giving her opening statement during a debate with her opponents in the upcoming election, explaining to voters why they should vote for her. A mildly confident 4th grader could have appeared more composed and intelligent.
By the way, she also claimed during this debate that God put her in place to save the state. Any time you hear anyone declare that God put them in place for a purpose, your only response should be to point and laugh.

Here's a very amusing interview with a woman from the Glenn Beck rally last weekend, trying to answer the question of when American lost its honor. She starts by complaining about Rev. Wright, then declares him a Muslim. Then she claims that his whole life was preparing to run for president and that's why he's covering up his Muslim faith. But if that was the case, why would he have chosen to go to Rev. Wright's church rather than a more mainstream church that would not be controversial? The mind boggles.

This one, from uber-wingnut Gary Bauer, goes way beyond being merely dumbass. It's downright insane.
"Progressives and Islamists are indeed on the same side. Their common disdain for Christianity explains why left-wing judges in America find any inkling of Christianity in the public square unconstitutional, while Islamist judges in the Middle East deem it executable. Their common view that life is expendable explains the left's embrace abortion-on-demand and why the Islamists don't hesitate to deploy their own children for homicide bombings."Read the comments on this post...
The hilarious David Cross riffing on the Tea Baggers and their bizarre, hypocritical sense of nationalism.

The Institute for Creation Research has apparently decided not to appeal their losing court case challenging the state of Texas for denying them the authority to grant graduate degrees in science.
It was not until the September 2010 issue of the ICR's Acts & Facts, however, that the ICR seems to have publicly commented on the decision, with Henry Morris III, the ICR's chief executive officer, writing, "ICR's legal battle is over."Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...
