Come one, come all to the Heartland Institute's Denial-a-palooza weekend, starring all your denialist favorites like Jim Inhofe, Tim Ball, and Pat Michaels. (Update: Salon reports Inhofe didn't appear as he was "feeling under the weather" (geddit?) and linkfarms to further coverage.) |

If you have created an illuminated manuscript, then you are connected to the Illuminati. Also, if your mother was a Bohemian princess, then you are connected to the Bohemian Grove. Oh, and Comet Elenin apparently appears in a 15th century manuscript. (Not.) |

Roseann Salanitri: New York's same-sex marriage law violates the First Amendment because it "dictates what churches must recognize." Ugh! Next thing you know they'll be making the Catholic Church marry divorcees! UPDATE: Terry Hurlbut admits that the argument in the column does not actually apply to the current law, but to a conjectured future law being secretly plotted by those evil "same-sex marriage activists." |

Shame on you, Bill Clinton, for suggesting solutions to the U.S.'s economic mess rather than engaging in mortification of the flesh as punishment for crimes in office. |

Apparently the Rothschild family pushed the US into invading Iraq in 2003 in order to acquire their water supplies for Israel...because the family lives there. It had nothing to do with oil. |

Whirled Nut: Gay marriage is CAWMUNISM! Never mind that communists were not known to be enthusiastic supporters of homosexuality, a.k.a. "bourgeois decadence." |

NaturalNews hearts the skin cancer. Bonus: retinyl palmitate (a Vitamin A supplement) is toxic! |

"There are several states within a relatively short drive of New York that allow gay marriage, so it's not like they had to pass the law to protect anyone's "rights"." Now that's what I call logic. |

An attempt to flog the secular religion trope harder than it's ever been flogged. |

A thorough analysis of Denver International Airport's Phallic-Satanic symbolism. I simply refuse to believe this is anything but a very non-subtle parody. It cannot be real. Or can it? (Warning: Poe's Law in action!) |

This Week in Climate Denial: Global warming is debunked twice in one week as "warmbat" professors rig sea level data and JAQing off about a new Ice Age begins due to sunspot predictions. (Pay no attention to the actual science behind the curtain.) |

Terry Hurlbut, YEC, on the national debt: "By what right did those who racked up that debt saddle future generations with it?" Could it possibly be the same right by which Adam and Eve saddled future generations with the damnation of hELL? |

A "veteran of the civil rights movement," Michael Berkowitz, bawls about the "suppression of democracy" in Wisconsin. One wonders why he is making so much noise about this, as such suppression would move Wisconsin closer to the model favored by Mr. Berkowitz's employer, the People's Republic of China. |

A U.S. intelligence operative leaks new documentation of Dubya's blunders on the anti-terrorism front; journalists write a report about it. The report's comment section is promptly taken over by truthers, despite the journalists' repeated protests that they are not pushing trutherism. |

Oh noes! Obama supporters made Orly Taitz look like a moron by forging birth certificates! Birthers froth at the mouth (seriously, the comments section has to be seen to be believed.) |

Whenever the Big Nasty Capitalists want a Republican in the White House, they team up with the CIA to give the economy a good licking. But the economy has not been very cooperative to this little cabal, it seems, booming in 1996 when Bill Clinton needed ousting, not to mention those annoying crashes in 1987 and 2001 under Reagan and Bush. |

Apparently Alex Jones is covering the Bilderberg Group meeting "live" (in his studio in America) with real time updates that seem to be driving his listeners already tenuous hold on reality to the edge. |

As usual, the tired old bigoted comedian Rush Limbaugh took offense that anyone could call Sarah Palin "nuts," even though she is quite obviously a few sandwiches short of a picnic, and her grip on reality is, shall we say, tenuous. And as usual, Limbaugh blamed it on the left, i.e. the Guardian's Wintour/Watt blog. What he doesn't understand is that Palin's nutsiness is not a partisan matter in Britain, or anywhere else in the world. It is an obvious truth marveled at by all. Palin's emergence as a serious figure in American politics has made the country a laughing stock across the world. The idea that a stateswoman like Thatcher, in advanced dementia, would be used by such a crackpot is simply unseemly. |
