"As such, it too has Jesus Christ, not some nebulous and neutered god, as its head."

That must have been one hell of a surgical procedure.

Dammit, I was about to quote the same line and ask whether or not God is so powerful as to be able to neuter Godself, and also whether or not a neuter God uses neuticles. There's also a joke about continuing versus one time omnipotence (and impotence) to be made, but I don't have it this Monday morning.

That's all explained in the Book of Neuteronomy, heathen.

We need a Chuck Norris / Steven Segal deathmatch for the soul of America. Chuck representing for Jesus, and Steven for the Buddha. Winner gets his deity on the next coin. If SS wins, the struggle to require all schoolchildren to start their day with a hundred and eight reps of Om mane padme hum must begin immediately.

I think your implied aspirsions of Newt are out of line. Those are private, personal, family matters! I think it is outrageous that you would try to such intimate details about his marriages, affairs, sexual solicitations, hypocracy, and all around mean-spiritedness whenever he holds himself out as the messager of morality.

Have you no shame?!?!?!

Chuck Norris does not interpret the constitution, he travels back in time to ask the founders what they meant.

There are new Chuck Norris facts. Best distributed humor project ever.

9: The voted ranking is weird, though. "Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried," should be no worse than third.

Thre is an article by Chris Mooney (author of The Republican War on Science) and Alan Sokal on safeguarding science from distortion.

Excerpt:
"HOW AND WHY did the science wars move out of academia and reemerge in Washington, with political poles reversed? During the Clinton years, many of the worst science abusers -- such as anti-evolution fundamentalists -- remained politically out in the cold, at least at the federal level. That began to change in 1994, as the Gingrich Republicans, highly sympathetic to the party's emerging socially conservative "base" and to the interests of private industry, laid claim to Congress.

They proceeded to attack evidence demonstrating a human role in climate change, all as well as in the depletion of the ozone layer as part of a sweeping attempt to undermine environmental regulation. Simultaneously, they dismantled Congress' world-renowned scientific advisory body, the Office of Technology Assessment, which had provided our elected representatives with reliable scientific counsel for more than two decades."

So it seems the GinGrinch wants to part the Potomac once more.

Some people see things as they are and ask why? Chuck Norris sees things that never were and asks "Why Newt?"

Chuck Norris may put the laughter in manslaughter, but, man, he cannot write.

The Chuck Norris facts were ruined for me when Norris was quoted saying that none of these were true about him, but facts just as amazing were true about Jesus. Though if Jesus could piss his name directly into concrete, I'd convert.
