Here’s what happens when you start off with a measly three brain cells and two of them are taken over by religious fanaticism.
A North Carolina pastor plans to host a Halloween event at his church to burn heretical books. At the top of the list — the Bible.
Pastor Marc Grizzard claims the King James version of the Bible is the only true word of God, and that all other versions are “satanic” and “perversions” of God’s word.
On Halloween night, Grizzard and the 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church will set fire to other versions of the scripture, as well as music and books by Christian authors.
“We are burning books that we believe to be Satanic,” Pastor Grizzard said.
Cool…not the book burning but the fried chicken which their promotional ads tell us they’ll be serving. I’m not sure if it’s a BYOB – Bring Your Own Book.

While I’m on this Palin kick, I see that the Sarah Palin/Levi Johnston battle is heating up.
Johnston this morning…
“There are some things that I have that are huge. And I haven’t said them because I’m not gonna hurt her that way,” he said.
“I have things that can, you know — that would get her in trouble, and could hurt her. Will hurt her. But I’m not gonna go that far. You know, I mean, if I really wanted to hurt her, I could, very easily. But there’s — I’m not gonna do it. I’m not going that far.”
Also in the interview, Johnston expanded on an allegation he made in an interview with Vanity Fair, that Palin regularly refers to her youngest child, Trig, as “retarded” — a charge Sarah Palin denies. Trig Palin has Down syndrome.
“I was just in shock for the first time I heard it,” Johnston told CBS. “And then she’d say it regularly. And I think she was joking, but it doesn’t make it right.”
Palin fired back…
“We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied.”
“Trig is our ‘blessed little angel’ who knows it and is lovingly called that every day of his life. Even the thought that anyone would refer to Trig by any disparaging name is sickening and sad.”
Palin also attacks CBS, which aired the first part of an interview with Johnston on “The Early Show” this morning.
“CBS should be ashamed for continually providing a forum to propagate lies. Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies — those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention,” Palin says in the statement.
Johnston gives every indication that he’s a complete dick out to capitalize on his new-found fame. Under normal circumstances, his type should be totally ignored. But what makes this a tad different is that it involves the serial liar Palin. She of “bridge to nowhere” and “death panels” fame has the gall to refer to anyone else as “malicious” and “untrue”. Funny.
I hope Johnston does spill the beans on this fraudulent and ridiculous woman.

I’m sitting here eating my ice cream sundae (raspberry sherbet with sliced banana and a sprinkling of walnuts) when a thought hit me. Any political party which would consider – CONSIDER I SAY – having a cartoon character of the likes of Sarah Palin as its presidential candidate is an insult to the term ‘political party’ and to every American with an IQ above that of an Alaskan moose.
Seriously, why aren’t all thinking Republicans (oxymoron?) not walking around with bags over their heads?

With just under a month to go before it’s released to the masses, Sarah Palin’s upcoming autobiography, Going Rogue, has already been near the top of Amazon’s bestseller list for weeks. No surprise, considering the enormous amount of interest—both bad and good—the former Alaska governor has generated since John McCain named her as his vice presidential running mate last year. But there may be more to the story: over the past week or so, Amazon has been steadily dropping the price of Palin’s book to compete with other retailers, including Wal-Mart, which offered it for presale at $10. Amazon, which originally listed it at $28.99, is now basically giving the book away for a measly $9. This is cheaper than buying a copy of Pat the Bunny.
Palin’s book has made it to the clearance bin before it even goes on sale. Not surprising.
What has helped to get her book on the bestseller list are the number of books being given away free. See here and here.
It’s all quite amusing.
