06.12.08Random Thing of the Day: Ultimate Christian WrestlingI don't have anything prepared during finals week, but this was just too hilarious to pass up. First there was Bibleman, the fundamentalist Christian superhero. Now meet Ultimate Christian Wrestling, the fundamentalist Christian wrestling federation. Seriously though - I may not be any connoisseur of wrestling, but these people are pretty good; they even have the chairs-and-ladders-being-used-as-weapons thing down: Now all we need is a fake plot with a powerful and amoral wrestling industry mogul to turn this into a man-drama.

05.18.08Random Thing of the DayThe 15-or so voters have spoken, so here it is, the FOX piece I was referring to. Warning - only cynics and masochists need press "Play" This is a FOX Opinion News Network documentary propaganda piece featuring Newt Gingrich that appeals to their right-wing audience and runs through all the talking points of why church and state should be joined at the hip. They never mention specifically what kind of religion the US should adopt, but it's pretty obvious by looking at the logo. [poll id="4"]

05.08.08Socially Conservative GOP Congressman Admits to Fathering Love ChildIf you ever needed another case of an exemplar of the religious right engaging in depraved behavior that s/he has spent his/her life decrying and passing legislation against*, then look no further than GOP Congressman Vito Fossella of New York. According to Ontheissues.org, Fossella is a "hard-core conservative" who voted for mandatory school prayer in public school, is a hard-liner on reproductive rights, and has the following ratings from the following advocacy groups: Americans United For Separation of Church and State - 0% Human Rights Campaign (Pro-LGBT) - 0% NARAL Pro-Choice America - 0% National Right to Life Committee ("Pro-Life") - 82% Christian Coalition (Pro-Theocracy) - ...

05.01.08Happy May Day, From Delusional God-KingLandYes, it's May Day again, and communist activist groups are again out in the streets in droves. But elsewhere in the world, impoverished North Korea remains a reminder of the disconnect between the idealistic rhetoric of Communist leaders and how these concepts are actually put into action. Despite not being Korean myself or having any family members in the quixotic Communist regime, I have expressed an interest in what many consider to be the last Stalinist regime in the world - North Korea. Kim Jong Il, as many of you know, is the absolute dictator of the nation and inherited the ...

04.26.08“Church Attendance is Up, and Evil is Down”Yes, there is a superhero named Bibleman, who is shown from time to time on Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). And fortunately for cynical masochists like myself, there is a full episode up on Google Video. Premise: Cypher (Bibleman's African-American sidekick) stops a bunch of homosexual thugs from burning a bunch of Bibles. Because burning Bibles is way more evil than murder or genocide. Bibleman, Cypher, and Biblegirl then join forces to defeat the "Wacky Protester", a liberal college atheist who has an evil plan to turn all the world's children to atheism. Because nothing could be more evil than ...
