  • Turkey Holocaust Day '09

    November 22, 2009

    • I'm itching like a like a volleyball playing nudist in a field of poison oak to inflate the first 4 story tall balloon and kick start the national parade of giving thanks down Main Street, because Turkey Holocaust Day couldn't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

  • California Legislature May Authorize Throwing Christians to Lions Beginning in 2010

    August 23, 2009

    • [Like my earlier blog post, "Democrats Eat Babies on Christmas, Institute Says," this is a satire I wrote out of frustration at how absurd and "even-handedly" the mainstream press handles propaganda offered by the Religious Right. My earlier blog was picked up and reposted by the "Parenting Intelligence Report," showing that the results one gets from referral ...
