Touchdown Jesus during happier times

Last night, I had the realization that there’s no better way to occupy oneself during some lengthy and boring activity than to read Ray Comfort’s special “Introduction” to his “Creationist edition” of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and annotating all the fallacies and falsehoods within. Spent two hours and most of my post-its pad. Only made it to page 20 of 50. Expect a comprehensive write-up on this blog sometime … eventually. (You know, as I originally planned to.)

• South Carolina Sen. Jake “she’s a fucking raghead!” Knotts keeps digging.
  (via Dispatches From the Culture Wars)

• Zeus hates Jesus [pictured]. Or apparently, not enough.
  (via Blag Hag)

• Investigating Scientology’s practice of forcing women to undergo abortions.
  (via The Agitator)

• Yet more Arizona anti-immigration douchebaggery.
  (via The Agitator)

• Rafting guide swims to a stranded young rafter, saves her life, gets arrested for “impeding” the official rescue operation. Oh, come on.
  (via The Agitator)

• Ah, yes, the ol’ mysterious “need sex to stay alive” illness.
  (via The Agitator)

• Dogs and hoses. You can feel the love.

• Anti-gay high school principal prohibits the school’s yearbook from printing a photo with a lesbian student wearing a tuxedo. And, yeah, don’t ask – it’s in Mississippi.

• Pistol? Check. Night vision goggles? Check. Sword? Check. Okay, time to hunt down Osama! … unless you get caught first.

• Tragic: 16-year-old boy brutally knifes an 8-year-old boy to death while riding his bike. Strange: He was a wealthy honors student with a 4.0 GPA with no history of medical or mental issues, and he reportedly confessed to the crime as he came out of the woods, covered in blood, to a random nearby carpenter.
