• Gay men in Kentucky are kicked out of a public pool paid by tax dollars and are told the Bible allows it to happen.  A public stoning should commence soon.

• Texas Governor Rick Perry says he might run for president and that the reason some Texans don't like him is because the Bible says no prophet is loved in their hometown.  This comes on the heels of Perry's call for governor's across the nation to come to Texas for a national day of prayer and fasting to heal America of its economic woes.

• 75 percent of the members currently serving in Congress voted for at least one — and in most cases more than one — of three policies that contributed to fully one-third of the $12.7 trillion swing from projected surpluses to real debt: President George W. Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, funding for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and President Obama's 2009 stimulus bill.
