Televangelists Say the Darnedest Things

Sadly this week, it was announced that Christian Televangelist/Dickface/All-Out Motherfucker Bill Keller was having his program, Live Prayer with Bill Keller, yanked from the air as of August 31st.Apparently, "live prayer" included saying such inspirational things as:Islam is a 1,400-year-old lie from the pits of hellThe Koran is a book of fables and liesOprah is a new-age witchMormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists are evil cultsVoting for Mitt Romney is a vote for SatanMohammed was a murdering pedophileCalls to Mitt Romney, Mohammed, and Oprah were not immediately returned.

Another Day, Another Horny Republican in a Bathroom Story

Well, it's the start of a brand new week, so you know what that means. Yup, brand new headlines about a Republican arrested for something penis related in a public bathroom.In mid-June, a very old, crusty, and obviously stupid Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was arrested for lewd conduct after trying to score some weiner from a plainclothes officer in a bathroom at the Minneapolis airport. What an idiot! Did he really think he could get nasty with another guy in a friggin AIRPORT restroom and not get noticed/arrested. He would've been less conspicuous if he'd just walked around the streets of Minneapolis with a big cardboard sign that said, "FREE BLOWJOBS FOR COPS!!"Anyway, the Senator pled guilty and was officially sentenced by the judge today. He's on probation and has to pay a fine, no biggie....but of course the "official statement" he released was dodgy and still implied possible innocence (even though he pled guilty AND was accused of homosexual activity with pages back in 1982). See below for a sample of excuses from Sen. Craig.This was just a he said/he said misunderstandingThe police were misconstruing my actionsIn hindsight, I should not have pled guiltyAfter all these creepy stories about politicians lately, I just hope people are bringing hand sanitizer to political rallies and thinking twice before shaking their Senator's hand....

Ted Haggard Had a Shitty Week

Remember Ted Haggard? He's the anti-gay Republican preacher that ran the New Life mega-church that also liked to snort meth while getting fucked by a gay hooker once a month for three years. Then he went off to dick rehab and came out 23 days later totally hetero again. Well, it seems he's pissed off a bunch of Evangelofascists again. Here's how it went down:I guess Ted is going broke, so he sent out a press release urging his followers to send him monthly payments for the next two years so he could earn a degree while counselling people at a place called Dream Center. He said anyone that sent him money would surely be "rewarded in Heaven" and told them to send their donations to him through a non-profit organization called Families with a Mission.Well, then a few things went awry. First, New Life, his former employer released a statement saying that Ted pandering for donations was a violation of the agreement he signed when he left. Then, Dream Center said it never had any intentions on hiring Ted and never told him anything to that effect. And last, but certainly not least, it came to light that Families with a Mission, the non-profit organization Ted was to have his donations funnelled through, was actually ran by a twice convicted sex offender and lost it's non-profit status months ago. Oops!Well Ted, I dunno... I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for those donations if I were you. I don't think Christians will be too eager to send cash to a lying former meth-homo that hangs out with sex offenders. Maybe you could get a job as a Restroom Attendent at an airport or city park? I hear it's a great way to meet influential people these days.

He has a wealth of knowledge regarding politics in Iraq and regularly speaks out on the incompetency of the Bush Administration. He is an Iraq war veteran and also fought in Kosovo under the Clinton Administration. Here are a few of the notable achievements of Jon Soltz:Told punk bitch Rep.

Colonel Buzz Patterson on Hardball for his "cheerleader tour" in IraqCalled out failed presidential candidate Duncan Hunter for the pencil pushing liar he is on Hannity & Colmes and frustrated Hannity to the point that he had to go to breakSaid war supporter Joe Lieberman spent the Vietnam years in law school and made fun of him for wearing fake Oakley's on his photo-op trip to IraqHere are few other unconfirmed, but interesting facts about Jon Soltz....Jon Soltz can do more pushups than you. He doesn't sleep or blink. Jon Soltz can control you with the power of his mind. Jon Soltz was once worshipped as a god by primitive tribespeople in the Amazon. He can also fly. Jon Soltz knows who really killed Kennedy. He can say fuck you in every language. Jon Soltz can eat with his toes...using chopsticks. He can drive with his eyes closed. Jon Soltz is better in bed than you. His dick is also way bigger than yours. Jon Soltz invented the martini. He is the one officially responsible for bringing sexy back. Jon Soltz is not a comptetive eater, but if he were, he would be the world champion.[For more Jon Soltz, check out his blog at Huffington Post]

Homos for Hillary '08

This past week, HRC/Logo presented a Presidential Forum geared toward gay and lesbian issues. I felt a personal obligation to watch and I'm glad that I did, because it was complete bullshit very enlightening. Six of the eight Democratic hopefuls were in attendance, but surprisingly none of the Republican candidates accepted the invitation. Hmm, that's odd?For your convenience, let me quickly summarize each of the candidates message in the order they appeared:Barack Obama - fully understands gay issues because he's black and has a funny name, isn't afraid to talk about AIDS at church, believes that "separate but equal" is ok as long as it's called something elseJohn Edwards - isn't uncomfortable around homos, wants children to learn about gay sex in school, said personal beliefs shouldn't be a reason to deny gay marriage, but is against gay marriage because of personal beliefsDennis Kucinich - loves everybody, decorates his office with gay stickers, wants you to picture an equality symblol inside a big red heart embroidered on a carebear that's being hugged by a cute little girl with pigtails as she giggles happily while daydreaming about butterflies, kitty-cats, puppies, and equal rights for gay Americans (he was my personal favorite)Mike Gravel - said most old people are flat-out stupid, impressively named off all three of the gays in Alaska, periodically appeared to be fighting the urge to beat off while talking about the need for more love in the worldBill Richardson - defended his belief that homosexuality is a choice by saying he isn't a scientist, but is still able to sympathize with people that choose to be gay because he's half HispanicHillary Clinton - seemed to be the crowd favorite, most likely because she wore a necklace of coral-colored anal beads as a gesture of goodwill, Melissa Etherige was visibly unimpressed

From the Bureau of Mexican Handouts

With Hurricane Dean approaching Mexico, The Decider has assured Felipe Calderon that our wallets would be open and accessible to them even more than it was pre-Dean. "We stand ready to help," said Bush. And by "we", he really means the American taxpayers, not just him, Laura, and Condi.This is the only fair thing to do since Mexico was such a huge part of the recovery effort of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. After all, they did loan us a couple of boats patrolled by Mexicans that actually returned home when they were done. So, the least we could do is give them a shitload of money that ultimately won't go to the people who need it anyway. Cuz that's how we roll.....it's called the American Way.He also went on to say, "The American people care a lot about the human condition" and "when we see human suffering we want to do what we can." ** To qualify for Bush's federal sympathy program you must be a sovereign entity willing to either overlook, ignore, or agree with U.S. foreign policy, and/or represent the economic or military interests of corrupt leaders/political parties. Middle Eastern nations, except for Israel, are exempt by default and all references to "the human condition" and "human suffering" in their region will hereby be referred to as "victory" or "collateral damage".

G.O.P.eter Puffers

Hero of the Week: Newt Gingrich

This week, young Jesus-blind white devils also known as the National Conservative Student Conference were gathered to have their flat-earth Christian beliefs refreshed by rich, influential assholes. Instead, they were treated to a little truth smackdown courtesy of guest speaker Newt Gingrich.Ol' Newtie came to the podium and quoted some statistics from Detroit, where black males are more likely to go to prison than to succeed. Surprisingly, he didn't equate this to a lack of prayer in schools. Instead, he said, "How can we tolerate systems more likely to send young Americans to prison than college?"He also went on to say the following...much to the dismay of the group of privileged whitebread dickheads: Republicans have this maniacally dumb idea of red versus blue. They say Detroit is a blue place, so we're not going to go there.Republican political doctrine has been a failure Look at New Orleans. How can you say that was a success?We've been in charge for six years and I don't think you can look around and say that was a great success. We have got to get beyond this political bologna. I'm not allowed to say anything positive about Hillary Clinton because then I'm not a loyal Republican, and she's not allowed to say anything positive about me because then she's not a loyal Democrat. What a stupid way to run a country.None of you should believe we are winning this warWe are in a phony war ... we have not been taking this seriously.Wow Newt, what in the hell has gotten into you? And where did all that come from? I think it's obvious that he's been hanging out with his lesbian sister a little too much an now he's just spouting off a bunch of liberal mumbo-jumbo.For the full article, go to Salon.com

God Hates Desperate Housewives Christian Rock Myspace Pretty Much Everything

The ADA has sent out an email action alert urging their idiot hypocrites followers to boycott the show Desperate Housewives even more this time (if that's possible?) upon hearing news that the new season of the show will include a gay couple living on the Devil's Street also known Wysteria Lane. The ADA says, "this program like many others is straight from the pit of hell".They have also sent out no less than five urgent action alerts to deter their followers from Myspace and even condemned the Christian rock band One Star Story for allowing "porno people" on their myspace page even though when the group gave an interview they said they allowed anyone to join their friends list so that "these people would have the chance to hear the word".Well, the American Decency Association is calling bullshit on these empathetic, "so called" Christians with their Satanic rock sound (because God only likes hymns) and their "porno people" loving, Myspace embracing sinfullness by saying that yes, Jesus did go out into the world of sinners, but he certainly "did not invite 34,474 of His friends to join him there".The ADA would also like to repeatedly remind everyone to send them donations!
