Gay lib as (selfconscious?) minstrel show mk. nth

First, let's agree that the Scissor Sisters' journey from this:

Anyone?

My apartment is a weird place sometimes

Jack Cafferty rocks

A few minutes ago, Wolf Blitzer went over to Jack Cafferty on The Situation Room after a bit about the fact that 20,000 troops in Iraq are seeing their tours of duty extended , and Cafferty, unblinking, said "It's a shame," and distinctly ruminated on that fact for a minute. It was kind of the most human thing I've seen on television news for a very long time.

Deliver us from evil



I think I could only find this story scarier if, instead of building a 70-foot tall revisionist "Statue of Libertion through Christ" that holds a giant cross instead of a torch, the Memphis megachurch in question had built a 70-foot tall Robot of Liberty that offed unbelievers. Ask yourself: is it really so far-fetched?
