Bust out the kettle corn—the opening salvos in a wingnut torture tussle have been fired!

Shorter Mike Potemra: Sure, Marc Thiessen may be a torture apologist who stained America’s honor, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person!

Shorter Andy McCarthy: You lie, Potemra!  I mean about the first thing you said!

Shorter Marc Thiessen: What Andy said!

This could get interesting…in a mental-midget wrestling sort of way.

Note: I promise this claymation thing is only a phase I’m going through. Please bear with me.

A lot of folks enjoyed our last Fernwood 2 Night post, so here’s one of the show’s more controversial (and very funny) bits, freshly uploaded to YouTube, from this hard-to-find, grossly underrated 70’s sitcom starring Martin Mull and Fred Willard.

The issue is that you suggested Tiger should abandon his identified Buddhist religious beliefs in favor of Christianity because Christianity is apparently superior in your viewpoint.

Hume, a Fox News analyst, told CNSNews.com: “There is a double standard. If I had said, for example, that what Tiger Woods needed to do was become more deeply engaged in his Buddhist faith or to adopt the ideas of Hinduism, which I think would be of great spiritual value to him, I doubt anybody would have said anything.”

People probably wouldn’t have said much if you had suggested that Tiger become more deeply engaged in his Buddhist faith.  But THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAID.  You said he SHOULDN’T BE A BUDDHIST AT ALL.  Instead he should be a CHRISTIAN!  Because Christians are just, you know, better.  More forgiving and stuff.  Which is, like, insulting to people of the Buddhist faith and indeed insulting to anyone who believes that people should be allowed to decide for themselves what faith to embrace IF ANY!!

Get it now?  kthxbye

A “mentally unstable” woman jumped the ropes at St. Peter’s Basilica and dragged the 82-year-old Pope Benedict to the floor at tonight’s Christmas Mass. He was reported to be unhurt, and proceeded with the ceremony.

Cell-phone footage of the attack is here, and it’s pretty shocking.

According to the Prophecies of St. Malachy, there’s only one more Pope after Benedict. Obviously, some people are way too anxious to find out if Malachy was right…and the CBS report raises so many doubts about Benedict’s health you’d think they’ve already started an office pool.

I’m no fan of this Pope or Popes in general, but I really wish that Teh Crazy would stay home and chill at least one night a year. The whole world needs to grab a juice box and a Fruit Roll-Up, and take a time-out on the nap mat. This handbasket is going to Hell plenty fast already.

I didn’t realize that Freethinkers Brights Smarter Than Everybody Elses nonbelievers had their own holiday.

HumanLight presents an alternative reason to celebrate: a Humanist’s vision of a good future. It is a future in which all people can identify with each other, behave with the highest moral standards, and work together toward a happy, just and peaceful world.

PARTAY!!!

It’s worth clicking over just for the slideshow. Unless you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, in which case it’ll send you running to the tub with a toaster under your arm.

I doubt I’ll ever waver in my belief that religion’s been a net negative for society, but I will say this: atheism has yet to provide mankind with a yearly opportunity to fuck drunken coworkers. Advantage: space ghost.

Excuse the pun, but holy shit! Michele Bachmann is just praying the shit out of everything! This is the scariest video you will ever see with her in it. Get ready to be horrified.

MORE: The raspy basketcase who introduces Bachmann at the Family Research Council “PrayerCast” is rabid anti-abortion evangelist Lou Engle.  I wrote a lot about that lunatic on my old blog Catch, but those posts are long gone. Digby has some stuff about him in her archives here.

UPDATE: Through the miracle of archive.org, my post that Digby linked to in ‘05 has been preserved. It’s a little scrambled and I’m sure it’s full of dead links, but here you go.

RELATED: Speaking of Digby, she’s holding a fundraiser right now. Throw a few coins in her tip jar if you can afford it. She’s a treasure and was my mentor way back when I decided to jump into blogging, so if you like what I do here you can thank her over there.

It’s tough to buy for the wingnut who has everything. If you’re wondering what to get for the wingnuts on your holiday [heh!] gift list, we can help.

Thanks to Rumproast commenter Markles, I discovered this wonderful site that made my wingnut holiday shopping a snap. Here are just a few of its fine products:

“Jesus Hates It When You Smoke” Ashtray

Your body is a temple, and Jesus doesn’t appreciate your filling His inner sanctum with acrid smoke and stinky nicotine one little bit. Let the wingnut in your life remind smokers of this every time they tap their ashes.

I’ve had so much work lately (mostly paid blogging for Axelrod, like everyone else here, plus my steady commercial clients), that I’ve only just flashed on the fact that we are about to celebrate America’s very first Christmas as a hopeful, changing nation under the leadership of President Barack Obama.

Consider this an open thread to talk about all the reasons we as a nation the “Stormfront of Male-Supremacist Blogs” have to be joyful during this Very Obama Holiday Season, and why you have no intention to apologize to anyone for the choice you made last November, evah.

What would Christmas be anymore without the aggrieved cries of persecuted white Christians screaming that the very birth of Baby Jesus is being undermined by heathens and retailers country-wide? As anticipated, the American Family Association sent its first volley of this year’s war on all things good, holy, Murkin and a lighter shade of pale (I’m sure O’Reilly’s been at it longer, but I didn’t bother to check):

Based on current advertising, below is a list of companies that avoid, ban, or use the term “Christmas” in their advertising.  We will continually update the list, so check back often.

Criteria - AFA reviewed up to four areas to determine if a company was “Christmas-friendly” in their advertising: print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website and/or personal visits to the store. If a company’s ad has references to items associated with Christmas (trees, wreaths, lights, etc.), it was considered as an attempt to reach “Christmas” shoppers.

If a company has items associated with Christmas, but did not use the word “Christmas,” then the company is considered as censoring “Christmas.”

Okay, I wasn’t going to write about that stupid person Sarah Palin and her fake bus tour anymore but then a very mean person who wishes to remain anonymous (communist!) tipped me off about this C-SPAN video.  It starts off with a bunch of people speaking in tongues, which is fairly standard for these Palin book signings, but after about the 5:30 mark the seemingly nice Christiany ladies start redefining socialism and it’s filled with comical blank stares and simple things to understand! And then a very angry lookin’-down grandma starts talking like a smart version of Amy Siskind and then becomes Michael Savage and says things like “loony liberals” until she gets so very enraged that she calls Obama “some little squirt” (she really does!) and starts wildly feasting on the spleen of the cameraman. The end.

Both Steve M. and TBogg have noticed a pattern emerging during Rogue Rage Week and in one of her 147 interviews in just the last three days (which NewsMax laughably refers to as an “exclusive”), Palin’s shiny new tic reared its ugly head again:

“They’re saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got some common-sense conservative solutions that we’ve put forth and were shut out of the discussions.”

“But these common-sense conservatives have put forth solutions suggesting the intra- and interstate competition amongst healthcare providers, and the tort reform, and the waste and fraud measures that can help address the rising cost problems right now.”

“Maybe some people are really threatened by just a normal everyday average American who is very blessed to have a megaphone right now, and doesn’t want to squander or blow this opportunity to get a common-sense conservative message out there heard across the nation.”

Sarah will say this phrase over and over and over and over until she drives all of the liberal elites totally insane, just like she’s already done to Andrew Sullivan, and eventually even God will get sick of hearing it and he’ll make a deal that he’ll rapture all of her fellow commonsense conservatives if she’ll just stop fucking saying it and she’ll say “okay” and then it’ll happen and super porny Levi Johnston will have his dick torn off by Satan and Katie Couric will be mauled to death by demons with the bodies of wolves and the heads of John Zielger.  And there will be bad footwear with arch supports littered fucking everywhere. The end. Also.
