Your early morning inanity!

Something Awful searches bad, bad palces on the internet, and takes screenshots for your amusement.

Entirely work-safe so far, as long as SA and their ads are themselves work-safe.

Britain's new police force: The Serious Organised Crime Agency, complete with Thundercats logo.

As cargoweasel (no relation) puts it,

It's completely unlike the "Silly Organized Crime Agency".

I can just picture Graham Chapman in a uniform going "Right. This organized crime agency has become too silly! I hereby order you to be more serious! To this end I have changed the name of the organization!"

Following a theme this morning, for sure.

Paranoid delusionals of a different sort! Doctors are EEEEVIL! Christ fixes diseases, not medicine?

The whole site is good, if theologically inept rather than medically inept.

Also,
Christians explain in their own words what it means to be a Christian:

With her lawsuit, the 22-year-old student joins a growing campaign to force public schools, state colleges and private workplaces to eliminate policies protecting gays and lesbians from harassment. The religious right aims to overturn a broad range of common tolerance programs: diversity training that promotes acceptance of gays and lesbians, speech codes that ban harsh words against homosexuality, anti-discrimination policies that require college clubs to open their membership to all.

The Rev. Rick Scarborough, a leading evangelical, frames the movement as the civil rights struggle of the 21st century. "Christians," he said, "are going to have to take a stand for the right to be Christian."

Remember, being a Christian is apparently all about your right to hate your neighbour.

"Think how marginalized racists are," said Baylor, who directs the Christian Legal Society's Center for Law and Religious Freedom. "If we don't address this now, it will only get worse."

Uh, yeah. Really. That's a GREAT comparison.

Your words, not mine.

Also,
Americans exporting anti-science misogynist religious hysteria to the UK.

Also,
Pop quiz: What happens, in the US, to two 18-year-old men who kidnap, choke, and sodomize 18 11 to 14 year-old boys who are placed into their care in a summer camp? Why, they plea bargian and go free, as long as one of them is the son of the (Republican, Mormon) President of the Arizona State Senate.

More on the same theme!

Republican War On Science, part 326749.3: Reporting that the USA has gained *more* wetlands than it has lost, by classifying golf course water hazards, sewer systems, and retaining ponds as "wetlands".

On a happier note, tjcrowley is getting fortune cookies custom-made for the World Horror Convention, and is soliciting suggestions.

"As a physician, I can no longer trust government sources," says Dr. Shaber. She is not a political activist or a conspiracy theorist; in addition to her own practice, she's Kaiser Permanente's director of women's health services for northern California and head of the HMO's Women's Health Research Institute. Yet this decidedly mainstream doctor and administrator says, "I no longer trust FDA decisions or materials generated [by the government]. Ten years ago, I would not have had to scrutinize government information. Now I don't feel comfortable giving it to my patients."
