In addition to being Mark of the Beast day, it also is the release of Ann Coulter's new book Godless.

Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion itself. In Godless, Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us:

* Its sacraments (abortion)

* Its holy writ (Roe v. Wade)

* Its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal)

* Its clergy (public school teachers)

* Its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free)

* Its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland)

* And its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)

Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly refutes the charade that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.

Now is the time to reserve your copy. Start your subscription to HUMAN EVENTS and make sure you get a FREE copy of Ann Coulter's landmark book, Godless.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Is this a paperback release, or an entirely new book? Most of that insane ranting sounds very familiar. (Is this the same book where she compares liberals to Communists because Scrabble boxes are red?)

It's a new book and I'll probably have people in my extended famliy read it and take it seriously.

Unfortunately, in my role as summer-fill in for the librarian who orders "current books," I ordered a copy of Godless today. We strive to actually be fair and balanced in the library. And someone might do a study on "wacky right-wing propagandists of the 2000s" some day, and will need primary sources.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ann Coulter - Nutcase or brilliant satirist?

I'm gonna have to go with nutcase.

Also, as a severely left-wing Christian, I must add that (a) clearly she and I do not even inhabit the same universe, and (b) words cannot express how grateful I am for that. If only there were some way to seal up the wormhole that lets the transmissions from her universe leak into mine. That's all I ask.

Ann, that's a ferret.

As if the latter weren't a sign of the former.

Ann. Ann, Ann, you don't even — you're glib. You don't even know what Darwinian evolution is. If you start talking about Darwinian evolution, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Ann, okay? That's what I've done. Then you go and you say where's the scientific proof against this? Where's the scientific proof, the "non-bogus science" that says how man appeared one day on earth?

Obviously, in the Coulterverse, "bogus" actually means "well-supported by several million years' worth of empirical evidence."
