Wingnuttia

I don't even know where to begin today--Iraq continues to be a hellhole, Tom DeLay continues to show signs of excessive chemical exposure, Pope Rottweiler I, who disguised as mild-mannered Cardinal Ratzinger, apparently was behind the idiotic attempt to smear US political candidates who refused to put the interests of Romanism above the laws of the country--and people have taken to venerating salt runoff in Chicago as the likeness of the Virgin Mary...

And I'm not even going to comment on Time magazine's founding of a cult of Coulter--that's simply too bizarre (besides, you can find excellent analysis at James Wolcott and Billmon).

Ten years ago, it seemed like politicians were behaving in a way that effectively made documentaries the new satire. Now, even the news is following that trend.
