The homosexual menace that will destroy the US

-Headline of the day-
"Wingnuts: Obama Plans to 'Completely Decimate and Destroy our Armed Forces!' by Letting Gays Serve Openly."

The good news for the right in the election of Barack Obama is that there'll be no shortage of things for them to get apoplectic about. It's been a long dry spell for them -- Bush rarely let the nuts down -- and it really is their favorite activity.

A group called ExposeObama.com is sending out an email warning that Obama will destroy the military by getting rid of "don't ask, don't tell." If the military is destroyed, we'll be naked and helpless and then the terr'ists or the commies or the science teachers who want evolution in schools or whoever it is we're supposed to be crapping our pants about lately are going to come and take over America.

But that doesn't mean things are hopeless. "You can STOP this unholy alliance between Barack Hussein Obama, those who hate America and our men and women in uniform, and the radical homosexual movement," the email tells us. Mostly by sending faxes to Washington. Faxes are to radical homosexuals what crosses are to vampires, I guess.

Remember, only you can save America from Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his radical, terr'ist, homosexual, commie agenda! Crazy people of America, unite! (MoJo Blog)

"John McCain won't let Cindy go on 'Dancing With The Stars.'"

Cindy McCain was approached in November about appearing on the amateur dance contest game show. According to the report, "Just before Thanksgiving, Cindy McCain started talks with producers to appear as a dancer on the show. She wanted to do it very badly." But McCain "put the kibosh on it."

Sure, being a contestant on a game show wouldn't exactly be as dignified as being the First Lady, but you take what you can get.

Besides, am I the only one who remembers McCain offering Cindy up for an amateur stripper contest on the campaign trail?

Frankly, I'd rather see her try tap-dancing than lap-dancing. But that's just me. (Think Progress)
