  • Shoe-throwing Iraqi journalist wanted to ”humiliate the tyrant.” (American journalists know that, where President Bush is concerned, an open mic and an audience are usually sufficient.)
  • Despite more aggressive fact-checking, millions of American voters are grossly misinformed. (They must be, since they voted for the Muslim Socialist Antichrist.)
  • From the Know Your Enemy desk: SEED’s Nathan Schneider interviews Adnan Oktar, champion of Islamic creationism. (Reports of the worldwide demolition of Darwinism are, sadly, only slightly exaggerated.)
  • Being Amish means that you a have a god-given right to live in a house that doesn’t conform to building codes. (Here’s a simple solution. Build however you want; if your house collapses, emergency responders will stay home, and god can pull you out of the rubble.)
  • Study shows that male intelligence correlates with indicators of semen quality. (So “male intelligence” may be an oxymoron, but “smart and spunky” is redundant.)

Too Twisted Not To Share

With those of you outside the Delaware Valley area.

A Warren County, NJ family is upset because their local ShopRite refused to write their 3-year-old son’s name on a birthday cake. The boy’s (actual, legal, parent-given) name is Adolf Hitler Campbell.

Philadelphia Will Do sums it up perfectly:

“The family did not want to write their own inscription on the cake — which they could have easily done — because that wouldn’t be exploiting their child to get attention to their laughably horrible cause.”

Here are some choice quotes from the original story:

  • “The Campbells said they don’t expect the names to cause problems later, such as when the children start school.”
  • “‘Yeah, they (Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They’re not going to grow up like that.’”
  • “The Campbells have swastikas in each room of their home, the rented half of a one-story duplex just outside Milford, a borough in Hunterdon County. They say they aren’t racists but believe races shouldn’t mix.”

Okay, I give up. The whole article is one long advertisement for narcissistic stupidity. Go read it if you want to try to gasp and guffaw at the same time.
