UPDATE: Not like there was any doubt, but the Texas State Board of Education approved the changes to the social studies and history curriculum we listed here last week. Who needs facts when there’s ideology? [MSNBC]

Iran’s Islamic leadership continues its fear mongering campaign this week, threatening to arrest women who are suntanned and “who look like walking mannequins,” whatever the fuck that means.

On his Christian Broadcasting Network today, televangelist Pat Robertson told his viewers that the unfortunate earthquake Haiti suffered yesterday was due to the country “being cursed” from having made “a pact with the devil.” This “pact” was made back when the French were raping and colonizing the shit out of the country, and Haitians had [...]

So there’s some shabby 5-foot tall World War I memorial cross located on government land in Somewhere, U.S.A The Mojave National Preserve, and apparently it is pissing off some non-Christians who are extraordinarily fucking bored. Their issue is whether this memorial violates the Establishment Clause in the Constitution, and well, it probably does. But! So [...]

Oh, that Vatican. In response to all the criticism over its handling (pun intended?) of its pedophilia crisis, The Holy See has released a ridiculous and offensive statement claiming that most U.S churches being hit with child sex abuse allegations were Protestant (sweet!), that Jewish communities also face sexual abuse (hooray!), and that abuse is [...]

According to the Mayan calendar, the end of the world is expected to come in 2012. Crazy, you say? Well… not quite. NASA reports that although four years ago Congress charged them with the mission of spotting most (90%) of the asteroids that pose a threat to Earth by 2020, it never gave it the [...]

A death row inmate in Texas challenged his jury sentence, claiming his constitutional rights were violated by jurors who consulted a Bible during deliberations.
