[edit] March 2009

4Randroids are very funny.
4Before 2001, the Office of Legal Council was known as the "brains" of the Justice Department. Then Bush appointed John Yoo, and the OLC became the place to rationalize torture. Obama's choice to head the OLC -- a former ACLU and NARAL lawyer -- wants to release Bush era torture memos. Naturally, the fundies are out for her blood.
1Texas remains on the side of reality for one more day.
4Now Obama will have plenty of envelopes to send out his Christmas Holiday cards this year.
2A 19-year-old -- the secular son of liberal, non-fundy Christians -- transfers from Brown University to attend Jerry Falwell's Liberty Univeristy for one semester. Why? So he can write an expose that Publisher's Weekly has dubbed "religious gonzo journalism."

6Absurdities in Genesis.
6Ted Haggard and his ironically named wife Gayle will appear on the TV series Divorce Court to discuss how divorce is not the answer to marital problems. (Problems like -- oh, I don't know -- your husband is a meth-smoking patron of gay prostitutes.) As if this couldn't get any funnier, the episode is scheduled to air on April Fool's Day.
2Godwin's Law is in effect in a piece about Wall street.
10Why Christianity?
3Anatomy of an Obama denialist lie.
2 This is Dan. Dan likes the Army. Dan is gay. Andy, Get over it.
1Another argument that supports survival of the fittest. During poor economic times, men prefer women who are more "full figured."
1Big shakeup at Fox. Could a leftward shift be in the works?
4Ray can take no comfort when Eternal Critic answers his questions.
3Chuck Norris want to secede from the Union and form his Chucktatorship.
2The fat off the Republicans' pork.
4The dividing line between Fundy Loon and Deep-Cover Atheist becomes even blurrier for Ray Comfort.
2Is God evil?
3So, why does President Obama seem to be glossing over Dubya's criminal enterprise?
6The creationism of Ann Coulter.
2Obama's been in office two months, and already some nuts are calling for armed secession. Chuck Norris there might have taken a few too many roundhouse kicks to the head, but what's Hannity's excuse?
-1God Hates Figs!
1The Gentlemen At Another Website keep insisting that Wikipedia is full of Liberal Bias. That's as may be, but now a bright fellow has come up with a way to trace what OTHER sorts of bias it might have, by tracking anonymous edits.
2Are you an angry rich person who's thinking of "Going Galt"? DailyKos says to get out, and take your indexed collateralized debt obligation options with you.
4The Discovery Institute's Trojan horse is empty.
2Time for the always-relevant question: "Why aren't these people in jail?". Today's edition: Diebold Voting System Has 'Delete' Button for Erasing Audit Logs. Ballot-box stuffing, now at your fingertips!
3Irony meter alert: Marjorie Cohn, writing for AlterNet, waxes offended at recently-released memos speculating how Bush might have set himself up as a dictator. Then, in the same breath, she has the gall to call for the prosecution of the memos' authors for advocating violations of the U.S. Constitution. (It is, of course, perfectly constitutional to prosecute someone for writing a memo.)
1Rush is being pushed to the top of the GOP dungheap by... the Democrats?
