Bill Maher and Frankenfoods:

“If you’re a Christian and support killing your enemies and torture,...

“you have to come up with a new name for yourself,” Maher said.

Maher on our "efficient, steely-nerved, multitasking, black ninja gangster president"

Maher also said that Republicans are clearly neither fiscally conservative nor strong on defense. Worth watching.

Time capsule: For 70 years the Parisian apartment had been left uninhabited, under lock and key, the rent faithfully paid but no hint of what was inside.

Jeff Sharlet on the C-Street Family and Military Mega-Churches

Mega-churches on military bases? With US tax dollars? Then I demand you build a mega-church for the Pastafarians and the FSM.

Speaking of fun guys

Bill Maher has a suggestion. I think it might work:

According to the Times of London, the Air Force has drawn up plans for massive strikes against 1,200 targets in Iran. The plan doesn't just call for eliminating Iran's nuclear program, but for taking out its entire military in one blow. Can Bush destroy another country's whole army? Why not? He did it to ours.

We'll get Condi to slip him a note. "Mr. President, Iran is free!" And he'll scribble some garbled bullshit on it, like "let freedom Purple Rain" and that will be that.

Mission Accomplished. Oh, and the astronauts you sent to Mars just called. They said to say "hi."

He'll never know. According to a classified report on White House crowd management, protesters are not only kept out of Bush's sight at rallies, they must be kept where he can't see them from his car. Frat boys are recruited to chant "USA! USA!" over hecklers. Bush has also been told that your approval rating is like your golf score, and the asshole with the lowest one wins.

He won't even mind. The only way they got him to Iraq this week was by promising he was going to Australia. It's like getting the dog in the car for his shots.

I'm telling you, we can totally get away with this Iran thing. It's not like he's one of those presidents who reads the paper.
