Book Fail

For weeks World Net Daily has been flogging nutjob Jerome Corsi’s coming birther book, encouraging readers to pre-order it on Amazon so that it debuts at the top of bestsellers lists. Even though it doesn’t come out for weeks, today Corsi’s now-doomed title ranks at #29 on the overall chart and is #1 on several of Amazon’s niche categories.

SAN FRANCISCO: Anti-Circumcision Group To Place Ban On City Ballot

A San Francisco anti-circumcision group has collected enough petition signatures to place a city-wide ban on the practice on the November ballot. Legal experts, however, said even if such a measure were to pass, it would likely be quickly overturned as an unconstitutional attack on the grounds of religious freedom. Chief opponent Lloyd Schofield, 59, acknowledged circumcision is a ritual …

Bryan Fischer: “Ex-Gay” Fugitive Lisa Miller Is The Rosa Parks Of Kidnappers

“Tennessee pastor Timothy Miller is now in jail. His crime? Allegedly helping a mother protect her daughter from the pernicious influence of sexual deviancy (‘deviancy: actions or behaviours that violate cultural norms’). [snip] Rosa Parks gained civil rights immortality because she refused an order to obey an unjust law. If there was ever a contemporary case in which civil disobedience …

Not The Mama

Dinosaurs debuted 20 years ago today. The sitcom lasted for four seasons and 65 episodes (58 episodes aired during the first run; the remaining aired in syndication) before ultimately ending with the extinction of dinosaurs. (Inevitable, we suppose.) While ‘Dinosaurs’ was a sitcom, the show broke the mold by not having a studio audience or a laugh track. Brought to …

Tony Perkins: Gay Activists Are Cowards

“The people who avoid a debate are the ones afraid of losing. That’s why the groups like GetEQUAL and others are forming what is basically a mobile protest unit. Yesterday, its activists rallied outside the offices of King & Spalding–only to learn that its attorneys had bailed on the case. So what did they do? Hopped in the car, drove …

Trump Takes Credit

“Today I’m very proud of myself, because I’ve accomplished something that no one else has been able to accomplish. I want to look at it, but I hope it’s true.

Obama Releases Birth Certificate, Birthers Leap Out Of Tall Buildings Nationwide

Talking Points Memo: It’s surreal and weird and faintly ridiculous that it’s come to this. But this morning the White House caught the press corps seriously off guard by handing out copies of the anti-Holy Grail of birtherism, the fabled ‘long form’ birth certificate. The president will speak to this issue in a press conference this morning. So far there …

Andrew Sullivan On “Hunky Jesus”

“I am a First Amendment absolutist, as readers know. And I’m also a solid defender of the right to blasphemy. But there are smart ways of doing this, ways that illuminate broader issues – think of ‘The Book Of Mormon’ or any South Park episode. And then there are smug, cheap and unfunny shots at the faith of other people. …

BRITAIN: Court Rejects Catholic Bid For Exemption From Gay Adoption Laws

A British appeals tribunal has rejected the demand of the Catholic Church that they be exempted from laws banning discrimination against gay adoptive parents. As we’ve seen happen in several U.S. cities, church adoption officials say they’d rather close their doors and let children go without families than abide by the law. Leeds-based Catholic Care have said they will have …

AFA: Obama Ignored Easter!

Except for his hosting of the Easter Prayer Breakfast and his drop-in at the White House Easter Egg Roll. But as we know, facts matter little to the American Family Association, whose audience laps up the lies without question.

David Barton On Earth Day

“Are you kidding me, Earth Day in the schools? We’ve got to save the Earth? I mean, that’s like a tick trying to save a whole heard of cattle. I mean, ticks go along for the ride, they don’t manage the cattle, they don’t tell them where to go. And that’s our arrogance in thinking that we can do something …

Liberty Counsel Denies Involvement In Lisa Miller “Ex-Gay” Parental Kidnapping

Even though their most famous client magically turned up at a Nicaragua house owned by the father of Mat Staver’s secretary, the Liberty Counsel chairman is denying being involved in the disappearance of “ex-lesbian” Lisa Miller, who fled the country in 2009 rather than comply with a court order to share child custody with her former partner. “It’s absurd to …
