* Meet Father's Manifesto - a group of militant anti-everything monsters in male form. I felt dirty spending even a few minutes on the site to try to figure out if it's a hoax or not.

Sadly, it is not:

* Something to lighten the mood: Controversial new Bible cuts out difficult gospel passages

According to Chairman Mr. De Rijke the foundation has reacted to a growing wish of many churches to be market-oriented and more attractive. "Jesus was very inspiring for our inner health, but we don't need to take his naïve remarks about money seriously. He didn't study economics, obviously."

According to De Rijke no serious Christian takes these texts literally. "What if all Christians stopped being anxious, for example, and started expecting everything from God? Or gave their possessions to the poor, for that matter. Our economy would be lost. The truth is quite the contrary: a strong economy and a healthy work ethic is a gift from God."

(just read the full article, it's okay, really. ;) )

* It appears that Congressmen do have a sense of self-preservation after all. I like how Colbert gave airtime to a challenger because the incumbent wouldn't meet with him.
