New from the AFA mailing list!
While it annoys me that I'm apparently counted on the membership rolls of the buttsecks-obesessed American Family Association (and my signed photo of Don Wildmon has still not arrived, dammit) now, the emails I get are a definite perk:

Support the homosexual agenda...
... by voting in the American Family Association's online poll: http://www.afa.net/petitions/businesses/businesses.asp about whether you would patronize companies with pro-gay policies. It's easy, it's fun, it's a chance to show this smug, self-righteous right- ( Read more... ) -
Oh Leon, I love you, but...
