Hoo boy...
Ah, Mike Huckabee. Favored candidate in Iowa because, as far as I can tell, nobody's listened to him enough to realize why he's a nut job. Here's his Iowa campaign manager, Bob van der Plaats, explaining why he's qualified to handle foreign policy -- because he's "a man who understands the theological nature of this war."

More madness.
A fascinating little clip, courtesy of Warren Ellis' blog, of a video from Westboro Baptist Church. (The "God Hates Fags" crew) They got together to sing a song called "God Hates The World," to the tune of "We Are The World." It's morbidly fascinating - you don't get to see real, unabashed dystheism in the world very often. They aren't even preaching "repent or else;" the message is very clear, God hates you and everybody else, nothing you can do will change it, he's going to burn everyone in Hell.

It's sort of like seeing the cultists of the Elder Gods from H. P. Lovecraft come to life; their god is going to wake up and destroy the world, but presumably they're still worshipping him so that they'll be eaten last?
