“Condoms don’t belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He’s not a schoolteacher. The information that’s being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. … The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn’t in the DVD.”

- Concerned parent and godidiot Frosty Hardison, on the screening of Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth in Federal Way, Washington classrooms. Unsurprisingly, the School Board voted to teach the controversy.

“The prospect of a virulent flu to which we have absolutely no resistance is frightening. However, to me, the threat is much greater to the poultry industry. I’m not as worried about the U.S. human population dying from bird flu as I am that there will be no chicken to eat.”

- The executive editor of Poultry magazine, in a 2005 editorial, as quoted by Michael Greger in Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching.

FYI: The good folks at Lantern Books sent me a copy of Bird Flu to review on easyVegan.info, and seeing as I just finished it today, a review and discussion should be coming soon. Keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, you can read the entire tome for free online. It’s a great book, and I highly recommend checking it out if you’ve got a chance. Or, um, even if you don’t. Scary shit.

“Well, some will, and I’ll make the decision based on what happens over the next few weeks. And when I do, I’ll make the argument for why I should get a chance. […] I think in America, Americans give people a second chance. And if you learn something and prove you’ve learned something, maybe even more so. Now, I don’t know what I’m going to do yet. We’ll make that decision down the road.”

- Senator John Kerry, in response to the following query from Fox News’ Chris Wallace on the October 15, 2006 edition of Fox News Sunday:

“A lot of Democrats, I’m sure, are saying look, a lot of bad things happened over the course of these four years from 2004 to 2008, because you — it may have been a good campaign, you got a lot of votes — you lost. Why shouldn’t you be held responsible and why should you get another chance?”

For that, dear sir, you are the douchebag of the week.*

Just put it to bed, Johnny. For the love of FSM, tuck in it and crush a pillow over its horridly disfigured puss. Don’t think of it as murder, but Death with Dignity.

“You may have heard that I’m Mormon…[it’s] very difficult being Mormon. You see for us, marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman and a woman and a woman.”

- Massachusetts Governor (and 2008 Presidential hopeful) Mitt Romney, addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition in Palm Beach, Florida
