CBEB’s

I swear, I’m such a masochist. I was digging around YouTube looking for a really bad version of “Amazing Grace”; not just any bad version, but one I had seen on some Jesus Infomercial a few years ago. After sifting through 20 pages of Amazing Grace videos (that’s 400 videos, mind you), I gave up.

I did, however, find “The Collapse of Atheism” a four-part series of videos that informs viewers that, well… atheism has collapsed. That’s certainly news to me. Part one starts with “Atheism… in other words, the denial of God, has existed since the very earliest times”, then it’s all downhill from there. Pay no mind to the “saintbirgitta.com” watermark; I’m pretty sure it’s a Harun Yahya production. Remember, Harun Yahya is the guy who used photographs of fly fishing lures to disprove evolution, so you can expect the same quality of evidence used to disprove atheism.

I’ll have to confess… I haven’t even watched all four of the videos. The stupid burns so badly that I’m worried one of the many straw men in the video will catch fire if I watch for more than a few minutes. How long can you last?

It’s been reported elsewhere that anti-science kook Tom Bethell has written a positive review of Expelled. Naturally, the science religious and political blogs see this as big news, although I didn’t see any headlines proudly proclaiming, “HIV Denier Gives Thumbs Up to Expelled!”.

Since coming up with an orginal thought is a big chore for most creationists - unless, of course, they just make shit up as they go along - it’s impossible for any of the creationist bloggers to add their thoughts to the review since producing an original thought AND typing with one hand is virtually impossible for cdesign proponentsists. Reasonable Kansans, Uncommon Descent and The Christian Mind either post a link to the review and/or some excerpts from the review.

Only one political blog, BrothersJudd Blog, offers any commentary:

Indeed, folks who insist that Darwinism is compatible with a Creator just don’t understand the theory or its intent.

It’s important to remember that the next big event for Intelligent Design isn’t the upcoming issue of Progress in Complexity, Information, and Design. It’s not that new research coming from The Biologic Institute. It’s a documentary that deals not with the science behind ID (there is none, for those of you keeping score), but with Intelligent Design’s favorite pastime: Playing the persecution card.

After I posted that atrocious Pledge of Allegiance “comedy” video the other day, Blake Stacey was kind enough to put up some Bill Hicks clips in the hopes that those lost brain cells would regenerate. It’s too soon to tell if it worked or not, but as my way of saying “Thank you”, here’s a clip that somehow manages to bridge the gap between the genius of Bill Hicks and unfunny Christian standup. I’m not a huge fan of Joe Rogan. In fact, he’s somewhat of a prick, if you ask me. He’s supposedly a 9/11 Troofer, and he believes the moon landings were hoaxed. Not everyone is all bad, though. Joe also has caused Carlos Mencia - an even bigger douche than Rogan - lots of grief, so he earns a few points for that.

This clip features a few minutes of Rogan’s bit about someone trying to explain Noah’s Ark to an eight year-old retarded boy. It’s kinda funny, but the best part is after Joe’s routine. Some guy from Wyatt Archaeological Research confronts Rogan after the show and tries to tell him that Noah’s Ark has indeed been found. It only takes a few seconds before the weasel words appear, but the guy remains confident as ever. What amazes me is that someone would publicly announce their affiliation with Ron Wyatt. To me, that’s an association most people would want to keep a secret… like being in NAMBLA, the Klan, or being a Discovery Institute Fellow.

After last week’s Darwin Day festivities provided by Uncommon Descent, I’ve been avoiding some of the usual sites so that I could detoxify. However, duty calls, and once again I must bloody my boots and wade through the minefield of stupidity that secures the blogs of link farmer Denyse O’Leary. PTET tipped me off on Granny Spice’s latest crime against the English language.

I’ve never been able to get my Denyse O’Leary Decoder Ring to work properly, so it’s always difficult to figure out what, exactly, she’s trying to say. This time around, she’s rambling on about FBI hate crime statistics; specifically, hate crimes categorized by religion. I’ll leave it up to someone else to address her statistics - which may or may not be dubious - the thing that leapt from the page and punched me in the eyeballs was this:

If I weren’t so happy being a Catholic, I would be tempted to be a Jew. I wouldn’t be tempted to be an atheist/agnostic, because it doesn’t sound like anyone cares much.

What a fucking idiotic thing to say. Because Jews are more often the victims of hate crimes, Denyse O’Leary momentarily considers converting. I’m pretty sure Judaism wouldn’t work out for Denyse. For starters, Judaism - for the most part - has no problem with biological evolution. Then again, the director of the Vatican Observatory said that Denyse’s beloved Intelligent Design “belittles God, but that doesn’t stop Denyse from living in the 14th Century; what scientists have to say about science is of little importance to her. If that vision of Jesus she saw on last week’s piece of toast told her that Intelligent Design is The Absolute Truth, who is she to argue with a piece of toast?

Denyse O’Leary loves to play the martyr. Whining about how mean the “Darwinists” are has become a weekly ritual for her, and like everything else she writes, she can’t complain about persecution without making herself look foolish:

Meanwhile, I get an amazing number of comments, most of which I reject, from a type of person I can only describe as a young fogie. [emphasis added]

Here’s Denyse in the very same post, three sentences later:

They are pendantic [sic], unimaginative, censorious and utterly lacking in curiosity.[emphasis added]

Now, it’s pretty obvious why I added emphasis to the word “censorious”, but why did I bold “lacking in curiosity”? Because for Denyse O’Leary, “God did it” is a satisfactory answer to pretty much any question put forth. This is why Denyse makes her living spamming the internet with her pseudoscientific garbage, and not as an arson investigator.

The next time Denyse O’Leary whines about Darwinian Brownshirts, remember this: she thrives on delusions of persecution. Intelligent Design is a political and theological movement, and since she can’t play the science card, she’s got to play the martyr card. Does it surprise anyone that an industry is being built around Intelligent Design’s false notions of persecution? They’ve gone from crying “Waterloo!” to just plain crying.

If Denyse O’Leary is giving any more serious consideration to becoming a Jew, perhaps we should contact the person in charge of Judaism and give them a heads up. They’ll want to hang the “CLOSED” sign on the door of Judaism Headquarters until she moves along. She’ll give it up soon enough; after all, unlike Denyse, the Jews don’t like being persecuted.

A tip of the headgear to our good friend “For the Kids” at (un)Reasonable Kansans for this amazing piece of Christian “comedy”. Prepare to lose about 2,000,000 brain cells after watching this.

I realize the guy is supposed to be funny… although I am laughing as in “ha ha that guy is a real assclown”, shit like this angers me. A church full of people laughing at this moron’s woefully inept ideas about history and science is kind of scary. These are people who vote. These are people who reproduce and pass their idiotic ideas on to their children.

However, when I checked out the video at GodTube, I got a nice little surprise. Check out the Google Ad that was placed on the embedded video. Now THAT is funny.

If you’ve been following the comments in the Vincent Edward St. Francis thread, you probably know by now that one of vesf’s comments at Uncommon Descent made Fundies Say The Darndest Things:

If all goes well, Dr. Dembski will have the last laugh on Darwin’s next birthday.

Wouldn’t it be sweet if by the time Dawkins publishes his book, Darwin’s silly “theory” has finally been exposed and all the universities are using Exploring Evolution and The Design of Life as textbooks?

It’s only a matter of time, friends…

It’s a fitting way to honor a fallen hero, but the sweetest part is, here was the rating yesterday, before the quote was revealed as a Poe:

And here is the rating after the veil was lifted:

Pretty damned sweet, if you ask me. To the best of my knowledge, there’s been no freeping involved, either.

Note: I didn’t provide an actual link to the archived quote, because it’s being taken down soon since it was revealed as a fake. Nevertheless, I’d like to address a few quotes from the thread. Reader NonProphet had this to say:

VESF is the grandest, most elaborate puppet to ever sock on that forum.

While I appreciate the flattery, that distinction will always go to the lovely JanieBelle McKnight. To this day, idiots are still being fooled.

As much as I love FSTDT, one thing that has always bothered me is the level of discussion at the site. It is to be expected that the site would have something of a Peanut Gallery atmosphere, but it’s obvious to even the casual observer that most of the people there just don’t take the time to read the other comments. Long after the quote was revealed as a fake, people were still commenting on it as if it were genuine. One person who did take the time to read the entire thread had this to say about my sockpuppetry:

So that makes him what? A twelve year old asshole who gets a kick out of deliberately making himself look stupid?

It’s really too bad that FSTDT doesn’t give out awards anymore, because John would be a shoo-in for the “Missing the Whole Point of Fundies Say The Darndest Things” award.

Although Vincent Edward St. Francis failed in achieving his Prime Directive, I view his mission as a success, because he played a vital role in getting William Dembski to produce his long-awaited ID predictions; something a lot of people thought he would never do.

It looks like Evolution’s Waterloo will have to be delayed for yet another year.

I can’t take it anymore. Now I know how Laurence Fishbourne’s character felt in Deep Cover. It’s time to call in the Rational Response Squad and pull me out to safety. Someone… anyone… just let me be Mister DNA again.

If I drift back and forth between first and third person, please forgive me. I no longer know who’s who in this tale.

It all started back in November, when I created a user account at Uncommon Descent. My Prime Directive: say something so ridiculous, so uttlerly Tard-laden, that the moderators would have no choice but to send me down the memory hole. I also had a secondary objective: to foment antipathy between DaveScot and Denyse O’Leary. But somewhere down the line, things went south: I discovered that at Uncommon Descent, it’s almost impossible to say something so stupid that it will get you banned.

My first assigment was to come up with a name. A handle that would be a wink to those who knew, and a cold, steely, thousand-yard stare to anyone who looked too closely. I chose the name “vesf”. To the administrators at Uncommon Descent, I was Vincent Edward St. Francis; a nice, Catholic-sounding name if there ever was one. A name that unfortunately meant I would have to side with Denyse O’Leary if I reached my secondary objective. To the rest of the world, “vesf” was elementary school-level cryptography: take each consonant and replace it with the previous consonant in the alphabet… then take the vowel and replace it with the previous vowel in the alphabet. The result is “tard”.

I don’t remember exactly when I made my first comment at Uncommon Descent. Like any smart deep cover operative, I lurked and learned before I made my move. Here is one of my earliest comments, made on one of UD’s many Expelled threads:

DaveScot,

I wouldn’t want your daughter to get “Expelled”, but it would be great publicity for the movie!

Hopefully “Expelled” will create an environment of academic freedom so that by the time your daughter gets to college she will have better options.

A few days later, Demsbki bragged about registering the domain “teliocentric.com” and Vincent E. St. Francis jumped at the chance to get close to the Big Man:

Dr. Dembski, I don’t think any of the atheists can afford $5000 right now. They need all that money to pay the ACLU to harass school boards.

Could you maybe donate teleocentric.com to Galapagos Finch as a peace offering? I’m sure he could do more with it than any Darwinist.

That was my entrance in to the seedy world of Tard; a little flattery goes a long way when you’re dealing with people desperate for acceptance in the real world. My comments were no longer moderated; Vincent E. St. Francis was free to say anything he wished. In one of UD’s more irony-meter-shattering moments, vesf contributed the following to the discussion:

If an electrical engineer can be so blinded by the liberal media, just think what the secular elites are doing to our children in the schools.

This was the first of vesf’s comments to get noticed at After the Bar Closes. I panicked. I had to reach out to someone in the real world and let them know that Vincent Edward St. Francis wasn’t the tard that everyone thought he was. I broke my cover. PTET would be the first to know my true identity. He had recently been banned at Uncommon Descent for committing the Unpardonable Sin of asking questions, so I knew I could trust him; just like every other decent citizen, he wanted to see the UD Empire brought to its knees.

Vincent found another chance to make a move in the aftermath of the PZ Myers/Geoffrey Simmons debate. The powers that be have since deleted the thread at Uncommon Descent, but not before vesf was noticed by a commenter at Pharyngula:

A cretin named ‘vesf’ at the UD blog recently writes in to say

I agree with FtK - the Discovery Institute should put out a transcript of the debate with notes rebutting the lies of the atheist PZ Meyers.”

That comment led to what is known on the streets as a “Double Tard Rebound”; UD commenter bfast took my statement and made a huge score with the astoundingly beautiful:

In my opinion we should just close our eyes and pretend that this debate never happened.

Vincent E. St. Francis was now a player. People took notice of what he had to say. But Vincent knew… when people are listening, you have to be careful of what you say. vesf decided to lay low and plan his next move…

A lot of things came and went while Vincent waited to make his move, but he lurked patiently in the shadows. The big day came on February 13, when DaveScot - in a moment of passive-aggresive splendor - decided to let everyone at Uncommon Descent know that PTET was not only calling Denyse O’Leary a “douchebag”, he was calling her a “Douchebag for Christ”. We all owe PTET a huge debt of gratitude for bringing DaveScot out of hiding to contribute some classic Tard. Vincent was especially grateful, as PTET and DaveScot had unwittingly made his secondary objective - to foment antipathy between DaveScot and Denyse O’Leary - obsolete.

Now was the time for Vincent to make his Power Play. He had to post something so utterly and overtly stupid that there would be no choice but to ban him at Uncommon Descent. To that end, vesf posted the following in DaveScot’s not-so-subtle attack on Denyse O’Leary:

Can Mrs. O’Leary, like, get one of the Discovery Institute’s lawyers to go after this libelous piece of trash?

No human being should have to be subjected to such filth. I feel like I need to take a shower after reading that.

Rich Hughes’ Explanatory Filter must have had fresh batteries, because he saw the design immediately. And Kristine evidently spent the extra 99 cents for the Super-Duper Deluxe Model Explanatory Filter, because she caught the “shower” reference, too.

As much as I hack on Granny Spice for her extraneous usage of the word “like”, I thought for sure The Banninator would blow my cover. However, it was not to be. I tried again:

FtK,

I really wish you would write a book. I know I would buy it. You’re most excellent blog documents what a weak foundation Darwinism rests on and how the evolutionists must resort to slander and mockery to cover up the lack of evidence for the Darwinian myth. I like your style. I laughed at how you exposed that atheist with your “Happy Darwin Day” post.

On the subject of books, I think we should all buy Denyse’s book as a show of support.

While the “buy my book” reference might as well have been written in neon lights, Vincent was upset that no one caught the FtK-esque misuse of “You’re”; he was beginning to crack. He even slipped in a reference to The Church Burnin’ Ebola Blog, hoping that someone would see that there was a rational being beneath all that Tard.

Things were getting crazy. As Mister DNA, I live in a world where Reason is a virtue. As Vincent E. St. Francis, I had become a denizen of a world where up is down, wrong is right, 1+1+1=1, and calling someone names is okay, as long as you don’t make fun of their religion… unless, of course, their religion is Islam. It was time to get out. I couldn’t just make a run for the nearest exit, though. I tried to goad DaveScot into some more name-calling by appealling to his Inner Marine:

vtjorley,

Like you, first thought the quotes attributed to DaveScot at that obscene website were more of the typical Darwinist lies.

DaveScot served in the US Marines defending the right for filthy atheists like this PTET character to mutter profanities, so Dave has more than earned the right to “swear like a sailor” if he so chooses. At least he has the class not to do it on Dr. Dembski’s blog.

It makes me so angry that the Anti-Christian Lawyer’s Union will spend millions of dollars to protect the right of old men to pretend to be lesbians, but won’t lift a finger when comes to our right to teach children about the evidence for a Designer.

DaveScot might be a little rough around the edges, but we should all be thankful that we have someone like him on our side fighting the good fight.

It was no use. Comments were closed on the thread soon afterward, and older threads were bumped up in an attempt to conceal Dave’s miscalculated gambit to embarrass Denyse O’Leary.

A new day brought a clearer perspective to Vincent’s mission. Today would be the day. Vincent Edward St. Francis would post something so obviously intended to make Intelligent Design proponents look stupid that Dr. William A. Dembski himself would open the skies and toss vesf into the Lake of Fire. Dembski posted a lovely Valentine’s Day bouquet of sour grapes to Richard Dawkins, and vesf leapt at the chance:

If all goes well, Dr. Dembski will have the last laugh on Darwin’s next birthday.

Wouldn’t it be sweet if by the time Dawkins publishes his book, Darwin’s silly “theory” has finally been exposed and all the universities are using Exploring Evolution and The Design of Life as textbooks?

It’s only a matter of time, friends…

Again, no dice. Vincent had considered adding a “Waterloo!” reference, but that would have been too over-the-top. When you’re this deep undercover, you’ve got to be subtle.

It turned out that Dr. Dembski had caught a bigger fish in his Nixplanatory Filter: DaveScot. Dave was having a meltdown in another UD thread and he viciously attacked a fellow cdesign proponentsist. That in itself is worthy of a separate blog post, but I’ve got to stay focused. Vincent’s story must be told.

Dembski reacted to Dave’s meltdown with standard UD protocol: He deleted the thread and admonished the troops:

I deleted this thread because I found the comments offensive. Let’s keep postings and comments germane to ID.

This was Vincent’s big chance; if he couldn’t get kicked out of Uncommon Descent for saying something stupid, he’d do it the old-fashioned way… he’d request some science:

Let’s keep postings and comments germane to ID.

An excellent idea, Dr. Dembski. Perhaps you could bring things back on topic by posting that list of Intelligent Design predictions you have.

It’s been a month since that post, and the suspense is killing some of us!

That was it. My cover was blown. Dembski looked me over as he tried to make out my true identity. Was I in the employ of PZ Myers and the Evil Athiest Conspiracy? Was Vincent E. St. Francis an agent of the NCSE, gathering intel on behalf of Eugenie Scott? Knowing that scientists everywhere might be watching, Dr. Dembski played it cool:

vesf: your link seems not to work.

Sweat beaded on our foreheads. Nervous glances were exchanged. Tension mounted. Silence…

BANG!

Fortunately, a brave comrade by the name of Semprini stepped in and took the bullet that was meant for vesf:

Dr Dembski’s ID predictions? Yes, we’re all keen to hear those. After all, one key thing that a scientific theory - like ID so totally is - does is to make testable predictions

Semprini, whoever you are, and where ever you may be, we salute you. I hear you were only a week away from retirement, too. Thanks, brother.

Vincent tried to remain as cool and collected as Dr. Dembski. I knew it was going to be tough; after all, vesf was dealing with a man who plans to one day be the Grand Inquisitor in the Holy Crackdown on Darwinism. Vincent E. St. Francis held back the tears and tried not to stare at Semprini’s corpse lying between him and the Mad Doctor, then innocently quipped:

Apologies, Dr. Dembski. My html skills must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Semprini’s link is working, though.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has been waiting for this.

There you have it, folks. The world has been waiting a month for Dr. Demsbki’s elusive ID predictions, and only one person had to die to get them. I hope you’re all happy now.

But Dembski wasn’t quite yet through with vesf. Perhaps Vincent E. St. Francis had played things too subtle and banning him outright would raise suspicions among the UD faithful. As far as everyone else knew, vesf was still one of them. The Isaac Newton of Information Theory did the next best thing: vesf was placed back in moderation.

I knew it was time to put Vincent E. St. Francis to bed once and for all. I decided to go out with guns blazing… but are the walls of the moderation queue bulletproof? Apparently not. I’ve added emphasis to underscore Vincent’s final moment of glory. This is dedicated to all the fallen sockpuppets who didn’t make out of the Tardmines alive. For as long as I live, I’ll consider you the lucky ones. The dead can sleep. The dead can forget.

Without further ado, here is what seems to be vesf’s final post at Uncommon Descent:

Thank you, Dr. Dembski. You are without peer when it comes to
The Argument Regarding Design.

I must say, I was also curious about the TV show you would be on. To be honest, I was hoping it would be one of the more credible programs like Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly, and not an America hating liberal windbag like that Olbermann idiot.

I certainly hope you will publish this in the next issue of Progress in Complexity, Information, and Design. When is the next issue coming out, anyway?

That’s my story, folks. More importantly, it’s Vincent’s story. It’s a story that will one day be told again, but with different names. As long as Uncommon Descent is still on the streets, brave souls will dare to strip themselves of their true identities and venture into the very Heart of Tardness. Most of them won’t come back.

Epilogue: Vincent left one last comment that evidently didn’t make it through moderation. Here is a screen cap of that fallen comment. Considering the subject matter, it’s in poor taste, but don’t read it left-to-right. Read the first letter of each line, top-to-bottom:

As is my custom, I started yesterday morning off by making the rounds at the blogs I read daily. I was pleasantly surprised to see our good friend “For the Kids” was celebrating Darwin Day with me by using the final image in my Darwin Day post.

I wasn’t in any way upset that she had used the image without my permission. To the contrary; I was flattered. My only beef was that I keep all the images I use for off-site purposes on a separate server so that my access logs are nice and tidy. Had she asked in advance, I would have gladly put the image on the other server for her benefit.

I could have sent her a PM at After the Bar Closes, or could have left a message at her blog. No, scratch that. She told me to never leave any comments on her blog, so I wasn’t about to waste my time making a friendly offer.

As Darwin Day progressed, FtK made the usual revisions to her blog after comments that she didn’t let pass through moderation called shenanigans on her bullshit. That gave me an idea… I sent out several PMs at AtBC, giving readers a chance to witness the event live.

All I had to do was change the name of the image I was using for my Darwin Day post, then replace the original image with something that would show up at Reasonable Kansans. Here is a screen capture of her page from earlier in the day:

Here is a screen capture taken at 7:30 pm, CST:

Seeing that FtK is a living, breathing punchline to a bad joke, it only gets funnier… Once she realized what had happened, she updated the post to reflect the events as she saw them in her Bizarro universe:

Best. Darwin. Day. Ever.

An intrepid explorer has discovered what just might be the source of all the writing attributed to Denyse O’Leary: The Crapola Web Translator

The Valley Girl Translator churns out text looking suspiciously like the prose-ac of Saint Denyse of Leary. For example, take a look at the Preamble to the United States Constitution when run through the translator. Before:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

and after:

We the People of the United States, in Order to like, form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to like, ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Is that Valley Girl, or Denysese? Now let’s run some of Denyse’s writing through the translator… oh, how about this?

Piffle? Yes, because ,as another friend notes, in much of academic life today the terms are decided in advance by functional atheists - you know, facts support atheism but feelings support theism, and we all respect each other’s feelings … UNTIL any theist actually cites facts that support his view. Then watch the temperature drop 50 degrees Celsius in, like, a second..

Oops, too late! Someone’s already done it.

If someone could make a translation engine that strips all the “likes” and “you knows” from Denyse’s writing, her idiocy might seem, like, less idiotic.

a tip of the headgear to oldmanintheskydidntdoit at After the Bar Closes.

Here’s a historical tidbit about me that some may find interesting. As a teenager, I lived in Libya for a couple of years. My dad was a Gas Lift Specialist for Exxon, and we lived in the little town of Marsa al Burayqah, located about halfway between Libya’s two capitols, Tripoli and Benghazi.

I won’t go into a long story about my time in Libya; I only bring it up because since there wasn’t much to do there, one of the highlights of each week was the new copy of the English-language edition of the Libyan state-run newspaper. It was more of a newsletter than newspaper, but everyone in my family enjoyed it immensely. It wasn’t particularly informative, but it was extremely entertaining. This was the late seventies, when then-president Jimmy Carter had just hammered out a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, and “Libyan strongman” Muammar al-Gaddafi was none too pleased.

Each issue of The Jamahiriya (Arabic for “Republic”) was about 5-10 pages of rants about the US, Egpyt and Israel. If Jimmy Carter was making an appearance in Gemany, the article would read something like this:

Zionist puppet Menachem Begin’s Imperialist master Jimmy Carter made an appearance in the US-controlled colony of Germany in an effort to shore up capitalist interests blah blah blah.

Without fail, Menachem Begin was always referred to as the “Zionist puppet” and Jimmy Carter was always the “Imperialist master” and one could not be mentioned without the other. Anwar Sadat didn’t get off any easier, either. He was always “Zionist running-dog Anwar Sadat”. Also, Gaddafi was always referred to as “Leader of the Glorious September 1st Revolution”. To string this all together, here’s what an article on a plane crash in Syria would look like in The Jamahiriya:

The proud people of Syria, who have stood in solidarity with the Leader of the Glorious September 1st Revolution Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi in his struggle against the Zionist puppet Menachem Begin and his Imperialist master Jimmy Carter, suffered a tragedy last Wednesday when a plane crashed over Tadmur, killing all 30 passengers on board. It is not known at this time whether Zionist running-dog Anwar Sadat will be attending the ceremony commemorating the dead.

I was reminded of the Good Old Days of The Jamahiriya when I read this piece by our good friend, Slimy Sal Cordova. Although categorized in the “theology” and “rhetoric” departments, Sal’s article - hilariously titled “618 Synagogues of Satan honor Darwin on Evolution Sunday” - is pure propaganda. For a more thorough breakdown of the article, check out JanieBelle’s take on the subject; I’m just going to address two items in Cordova’s piece.

First off, take a look at this sentence:

This sunday, 618 Synagogues of Satan will honor Charles Darwin (a despiser of Christ) on Evolution Sunday 2008.

I hate to break it to you, Sal, but that’s not “rhetoric”, it’s pure fallacy. Since Salvador’s “Advanced Creation Science [sic]” is nothing but regular Creation Science [sic], only stupider, he has no choice but to try and scare away the people in the pews with some hogwash about Darwin being a “despiser of Christ”. Guess what, Sal? It doesn’t matter if Charles Darwin buggered nuns in Belgium; evolution is still a fact.

Since Sal is too much of a chickenshit to venture beyond the confines of his Young Cosmos compound, he responded to JanieBelle’s post in the comments of his own blog, and somehow managed to outdo himself in the ridiculous propaganda department:

Goes to show, even Darwinist Drag Queen Transvestites, Imitation Lesbians like Lou(JanieBelle) can be useful for something.

Good fucking grief. I’d like to think that poor Sal is so sweet and innocent that he’s basically clueless about such things, but his obsession with sexual deviance indicates otherwise. “Drag Queen Transvestites” is completely redundant. While not all transvestites are drag queens, all drag queens are transvestites. If Sal is going to pull out all the stops in his well poisoning, perhaps he should rewrite the sentence like so:

Goes to show and demonstrates, even Evolutionist Darwinist Drag Queen Transvestites, Fake Imitation Sapphic Lesbians like Lou(JanieBelle) and the moderator at AtBC can be useful for something.

What a fucking douchebag.
