I realize Paris Hilton and funny don’t always go together… at least not intentionally. But this is a pretty damn funny response to John McCain’s campaign ad that mentions her. Hold on to your shorts McCain and Barack Obama.

Give it a try with NPR’s web based game.  Marketplace brings us a generic look at how the budget can turn around, in a cartoony manner.  This way we can forget how it would really effect actual people if the changes would happen.  Plus, the options are few and basic.  Stuff like Flat tax or [...]

More than 800 Hong Kong residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as “indecent” due to its sexual and violent content, following an uproar over a sex column in [...]

Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda calls himself the Antichrist, has a tat of the number 666 on his arm, and claims he has over 2 million followers of his Florida based  “Growing in Grace” church.

Hell hath no fury like a Catholic scorned.  And whatever you do, don’t create a sculpture of their main dude in chocolate.  Catholic groups in New York City are up in arms over a life-size, anatomically-correct sculpture of a naked Jesus made out of chocolate.  I’m guessing the naked thing didn’t help.
Most telling quote…
