2004 Bulwer-Lytton Awards
It was a stark and dormy night--the kind of Friday night in the dorm where wistful women/girls without dates ovulated pointlessly and dreamed of steamy sex with bad boy/men in the backseat of a Corvette--like the one on Route 66, only a different color, though the color was hard to determine because the TV show was in black and white--if only Corvettes had back seats.

[Asinine] Creationism is right because people included dragons in literature. Weis and Hickman surrender
(Via Fark.)
This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. Possibly one of the stupidest things ever written.
The evolutionists insist the dinosaurs lived millions and millions of years ago and became extinct long before man walked the planet.
I don't believe that for a minute. I don't believe there is a shred of scientific evidence to suggest it. I am 100 percent certain man and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time. In fact, I'm not at all sure dinosaurs are even extinct!
Think of all the world's legends about dragons. Look at those images. What were those folks seeing? They were clearly seeing dinosaurs. You can see them etched in cave drawings. You can see them in ancient literature. You can see them described in the Bible. You can see them in virtually every culture in every corner of the world.
Did the human race have a collective common nightmare? Or did these people actually see dragons? I believe they saw dragons – what we now call dinosaurs.

Christianity being expunged from the schools?
Is Christianity being systematically expunged from the public schools? Not according to the Mainstream Baptist.
We need to practice the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Some statement of the Golden Rule, either positively or negatively, is common to all faiths. It is not a controversial value. If everybody would practice it, we could put an end to about 90% of these church-state cases.
I'm a Baptist preacher. I am a "born again" evangelical Christian, but it is high time that evangelical Christians start practicing the Golden Rule and living our faith instead of trying to make a show of it and forcing everyone else to play a role in our show.

O'Reilly the Coward
O'Reilly the Coward: "David Brock takes aim and scores a direct hit: Mr. O'Reilly, you have repeatedly and personally attacked me, Media Matters for America, and my fine staff, calling us 'vile,' 'despicable,' and 'weasels,' and comparing us to the Ku Klux Klan, Castro, Mao, and the Nazis. And you have refused my repeated requests to appear on your broadcast. You once offered your viewers your definition of the word 'coward.' On the January 5, 2004, O'Reilly Factor, you declared: 'If you attack someone publicly, as these men did to me, you have an obligation to face the person you are smearing. If you don't, you are a coward.' Well, Mr. O'Reilly, you have attacked me publicly on numerous occasions, and you refuse to face me. You, sir, are a coward -- by your own definition of the term.

A Psychic Test
Wendy Grossman gets a psychic reading, and demolishes the psychic, but typically, he's too stupid or dishonest to even know it.
Shirley was ecstatic. It was clear to him that if I would just put my glasses on when I reached inside the dryer I would see there was a picture of Jesus inside, and that if I went to my video shop the man there was reading the same book, and that Owen and Tom both love lentils. Afterwards, I wished I'd pointed out the unlikelihood of someone with the name of Grossman having much in the way of pictures of Jesus around.

My Acid Trip with Groucho
Now, wouldn't that be something. Paul Krassner writes it up, along with a lot of asides and related stories, a 1981 piece that's timeless in its way.
"Everybody has their own Laurel and Hardy," he mused. "A miniature Laurel and Hardy, one on each shoulder. Your little Oliver Hardy bawls you out-he says, 'Well, this is a fine mess you've gotten us into.' And your little Stan Laurel gets all weepy -"Oh, Ollie, I couldn't help it, I'm sorry, I did the best I could. . . '
