Our friends at Wikipedia have a full entry on this New Religious Movement. There is information I didn’t know, and it’s absolutely fascinating. Here it is!

I was hoping to let it go without comment, but the “latest insinuation that Intelligent Design has merit”:http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1089733,00.html astounds me. Not that it comes from the President, but rather that it caused me to agree with a “Charles Krauthammer opinion piece”:http://www.time.com/time/columnist/krauthammer/article/0,9565,1088869,00.html. I’m shocked.

Aaaaigh! Crusaders! _(incoherent gibbering)_ “The Crusaders”:http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/_/id/7235393 are coming!

If only we had “some kind of missile”:http://www.intriguing.com/mp/_scripts/church.asp, we could take the steam out of those bells.

[UPDATE: I swear I didn't read "Karen's post":http://www.globalspin.com/mt/archives/000523.html before posting this. We're just on the same wavelength.]

I sure hope so. Otherwise, this is just wrong: “Place your bets!”:http://www.oddschecker.com/betting/mode/o/card/specials-politics/odds/124960x/sid/240720 If you decide to throw your hat into the ring, I don’t think I want to know.

(I put this under “Religion” but it could just as easily be culture, or even reference, if you are so inclined to visit our friendly web-bookie again…)

My brother Carl sent me a really good article debunking the idea that ‘Happy Holidays’ is an attack on Christmas. What’s scary is that the idea apparently needs to be debunked.
