It was inevitable, I suppose.

Now if someone could do this for John McCain. . .

'Gay' McDonald's prompts boycott
The happy paranoids at the American Family Association, Dandy Don Wildmon's principal source of outrage and revenue, is now aghast at McDonald's is not running away in horror from gays. My earlier post covers that bit of silly, but a new wrinkle on an old controversy arrived in this afternoon's email.

Conservative News Alerts is pushing the AFA v Ronald McDonald issue, but with even prissier circumlocutions. Where the AFA, quoted by that paragon of accuracy, World Net Daily, says,

"This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals, or homosexuals eating at McDonald's or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, choosing to put the full weight of their organization behind promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage," said AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon.

the right-thinkers at Conservative News Alerts can't seem to quite spit out the topic under revulsion:

"This boycott is not about hiring h_________, or h_________ eating at McDonald's or how h_________ employees are treated. It is about McDonald's, as a corporation, choosing to put the full weight of their organization behind promoting the h_________ agenda, including h_________ marriage," said AFA chairman Donald E. Wildmon.

If it's OK for Ralph Nader and Bob Barr to run for office on the nutbag ticket, then a former porn star shouldn't have too much trouble, huh?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Actor Sonny Landham, who started out in porn movies before landing tough-guy roles in Hollywood movies including 48 Hours and Predator, is now running for the Senate on the Libertarian ticket.

At least he'd know how to handle himself in public.

5.2 earthquake rocks large area of Midwest; no major damage

By JIM SUHR

WEST SALEM, Ill. (AP) — Residents across the Midwest were awakened Friday by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake that rattled skyscrapers in Chicago, homes in Cincinnati and nerves across the region but appeared to cause no major injuries or damage.

Dozens of aftershocks followed, one with a magnitude of 4.6.

I wonder if the popcorn farmers should expect a bumper crop?

New Humanist Blog: Local council in shock challenge to Catholic dogma

The Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead have issued the new regulations as a concession to secularists concerned by allegations that Creationism has been taught to students at Emmanuel City Technology College, a Gateshead academy school run by Peter Vardy’s Emmanuel Schools Foundation.

In passing byelaw 08/04 (section 01), the borough council has made it mandatory for Catholic priests to forewarn their congregations that transubstantiation – the idea that at communion the bread and wine become the literal body and blood of Christ – remains unsupported by solid empirical evidence.

Beginning with tonight’s evening masses, priests will be legally obliged to read out the disclaimer – the exact wording of which has been provided by the council – which reads as follows:

“Congregants should be aware of the gaps and/or problems in the Catholic theory of transubstantiation, including, but not limited to, the Protestant notion that the bread and wine are merely symbolic, the opinions of other religions on the life of Christ, and the lack of conclusive scientific evidence available to support this theory.”

Explaining the borough’s decision, Councilor Burt Blaydon (Con., Windynook), said: “The council feel it is important that borough residents realise that the Catholic version of Christianity is only a theory and not written in stone. This is not an attempt to cause offence, but equally we shouldn’t offend those members of the congregation who hold alternative views on the nature of bread and wine.”

ABC News: Women Who Can't Stop Feeling Sexual

PSAS, identified and named just six years ago, remains a mysterious condition that thousands of women wish they didn't have. They are constantly on the edge of orgasm regardless of time, place or circumstance.

I've Been Wondering Where to Find This

And now, thanks to the christoconservatives at the Alliance Defense Fund, we can lay hands on a copy of the often-cited-never-before-seen Homosexual Agenda.



I just wonder where these jesusboys got their copy? Ted Haggard? Larry Craig?

Child of an Even Lesser God

Poor Pat Roberston. His prophetic powers have never served him well. Remember this:

In the latest of a long-but-unsuccessful line of predictions and prophecies, Pat Robertson said Jan. 2 the United States will face a massive terrorist attack in late 2007.

Or this?

In May 2006, he claimed American coastlines would be "lashed by storms" and the Pacific Northwest hit by "something as bad as a tsunami." No such disasters occurred that year.

I don't think it's quite a failure of Rev. Robertson's hearing God's word so much as he tries too hard. For instance, when he lowers his sights just a little:

This year's winner of the Scripps Howard Super Sage Award goes to Pat Robertson, founder and chairman of The Christian Broadcasting Network. His "preference" of a 20-14 Giants victory put him the closest to the final score of 17-14.
