Piggie of the Week, 2/1/2012: AP Ticker’s Psychedelic Awakening
As you may know, it is the “Year of the Bible” in Pennsylvania, thanks to unanimous support, from republicans and demmocrats alike, for a resolution introduced by Rep. Rick Saccone.
I had a lively phone conversation with Saccone’s office before we produced this one, in which I kept listing all the Bible laws that might be [...]

I’m sick of all this hype about homesexual teen suicides. Leviticus 20:13 – “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”
That was the status update of a guy [...]
Junior Anti-Sex League
Under every uptight, anti-sex zealot, there’s a slutty buddy fighting to come out, and wing-nut Republican Christine O’Donnell is no exception:
The new Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware is known most widely for her positions on sex: She is a devout Catholic, chaste, anti-masturbation, pro-abstinence-only sex ed, anti-condoms and anti-porn.
But Christine O’Donnell didn’t grow up [...]
muezzin
It’s about 8:00 AM, and I didn’t realize I live near a mosque. But right now, I can hear the muezzin calling Muslims to prayer. The sound is coming through the home office window, clear as a bell.

Atheists Don’t Have No Songs
Finally, a hymn for the rest of us:

Oh dear:
Harry Reid is breaking with the President, claiming that while he respects freedom of religion, he’s not willing to support an Islamic center near Ground Zero.
Specifically, says Reid spokesman Jim Manley, he thinks the “mosque” should be built “some place else”:
The First Amendment protects freedom of religion. Senator Reid respects [...]
Shorter Christine Flowers: Raping Children “Just a Mistake”, Church Critics Unfair
No, seriously:
The details, while shocking, refer to horrors committed more than 20 years ago, but they’re being used to condemn a church that – more than any other organized faith institution in the world – has made the most public and painful act of contrition in history.
Yes, grievous mistakes were made, under a veil [...]
Festivus!
I kind of feel like I’ve spent the year celebrating Festivus, at least the part of airing my grievances. All I need is my aluminum pole, and then Christina and I will engage the Feats of Strength: until she pins me, Festivus isn’t over!

Via Firedoglake, it looks like Ben Nelson is doing the bidding of child rapists:
But Nelson decided later Thursday to hold off after Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, said he thought that the measure was being rushed to the floor. Hatch had expected to be the lead sponsor of the amendment, and he said he thought it [...]
Shorter DC Pedophiles: “Fags Are Bad!”
That’s what this threat from the Catholic Church boils down to:
The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it will be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District if the city doesn’t change a proposed same-sex marriage law, a threat that could affect tens of thousands of people the church [...]
