News with a Twist

Crazy Uncle Pat dismisses Princeton University scholarly work as nutty.

• Tebowed! - The Xristian Xrazies finally got Tebowed at the last moment when God's Own Quarterback Tim Tebow cancelled at the last moment an appearance at a church known for the homophobia, anti-Semitism, and anti-catholicism of its preacher, Robert Jeffress. Rev. Fishdick is pissed, Denny Burke says that all Christianity is now marginalized, but of course he'll be back once it all blows over.

For once, Gohmert says something I can actually agree with. Tyranny was very much on the minds of our Founding Fathers, since they experienced it first hand. That is the primary purpose of the 2nd Amendment, so that we can protect ourselves from Tyranny, both from our own government and from foreign invaders.

I guess Alan sort of spaced out during the Civil War and Constitution modules in high school history.

As for Rev. Fishbait, he's always pissed about something. He might as well be pissed about Tim Tebow. (It should be noted that First Baptist Dallas is the creature of W.A. Criswell, who turned it into a right-wing, prosperity gospel haven for the rich and self-important in Dallas, and his successor, Robert Jeffress, is fast making it his own cash cow and carnival freakshow.)
