SARAH PALIN: Feeling mavericky
>> Maverick Sarah Palin told thousands of abortion opponents at a Wisconsin fund-raising banquet Friday night that if the government would allow abortion rights, then it could also disregard the health of the elderly or special-needs children, like her “retarded baby” Trig. (Politico, Examiner)
>> Televangelist Pat Robertson denounced Islam as “not a religion” but “a violent political system” on the 700 Club yesterday. Those Muslims could learn a thing or two about peace from Robertson, who famously advised throwing “a very small nuke” at the State Department. (Crooksandliars.com)
>> The Vatican, which recently made it easier for disenfranchised Anglicans to convert to Catholicism, may have other converts in mind: The church has called in scientists to study alien life and what it would mean for Catholicism, saying one cannot “put limits on God’s creative freedom.” Galileo is rolling in his grave. (AP)
>> The U.S. Department of Justice subpoenaed the Philidelphia-based independent news site Indymedia.us to disclose the details of all reader visits on a certain day, including e-mail addresses, physical addresses, Social Security numbers and bank accounts. The request also stated “not to disclose the existence of this request.” Oops! (CBS News)
>> And finally, out of eastern India: Hundreds of poor Hindu villagers have claimed that a rare turtle with holy symbols on its back is the incarnation of the popular deity Lord Jagannath. Apparently Lord Jagannath likes to eat seagrass and algae and naps constantly throughout the day. (Reuters)

I agree with Pat. Islam is a poisonous, predatory, supremacist, totalitarian political ideology masquerading as a religion.
