Catholic Bishops Identify Latest Threat to Humanity: Girl Scouts

You probably saw this item late last week: further proof that people in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church -- not just in Rome, but here in the U.S. -- are totally insane. The idiotic Catholic bishops are attacking the Girl Scouts of America for their support of organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, the Sierra Club, and Oxfam "because they support family planning or emergency contraception."  Very scary, indeed. 

I enjoyed Wonkette's take on the subject.

We should all support the Catholic bishops in this effort to protect us from the evil Girl Scouts. They are doing a good job of marginalizing the church out of existence. We can only hope. 

Glenn Beck's Crazy Conspiracy Theories

As you surely know, Glenn Beck is now most famous for his lunatic-fringe conspiracy theories. (You have to live in a cave not to know this, but in case you're fuzzy about it, see here.)  

Where does he get his ideas?  Now we know.  From the Glenn Beck Conspiracy-Theory Generator!  See it for yourself here.  Try it out.  Generate some paranoia.

Fallows on McCaughey

Betsy McCaughey is a contemptible, lying sack of shit.

For a more measured assessment of her fundamental nature, see the various posts about her that Jim Fallows has put up (they amount to the same), including his take on her recent appearance on the Daily Show Jon Stewart.
