A Little Drive-By Post (Updated)

A few things I've seen over the past few days that I don't have any real commentary on, but felt they should be noted:

The Pope Strikes Back:

I'm not sure how significant this is, but I think it is. But -- any guesses that the motivation is more about being critical of the pope, and less about opposing abortion and same-sex marriage?

You Mean Mass, Warrantless Searches are Unconstitutional?

Today in Christian Love:

Some places, saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" can get you assaulted.

Who Domesticated Who? And When?

Of Cats and Men.

And that seems as good a place as any to stop.

Update:

I just ran across this one at Right Wing Watch, and it pretty much typifies something I've noticed about a lot of the "Christians" poisoning the airwaves (and print media, as well) lately: It's all about them. Robert Oscar Lopez is one of the most egregious examples, but he's not that far out of the range.

Do you supposed they ever listen to themselves?
