I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

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

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?

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

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

JZ speaks for me on this subject.

Always Anti-fascist!

Ann Coulter...for my words about Anne Coulter...the Deadwood lexicon is only just rank enough. Sad we share a gender. Allegedly.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Something that might make the left-wing Christians in the crowd feel a little better.

The evil is this way?

She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.

So, Ann believes in the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

I think Ann believes that saying evolution is total nonsense is a good way to sell books.

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

NASCAR's newest sponsor:

"Ignite Your Potential" is the mantra Scientology uses to get Tom Cruise and other Hollywood celebs jumping up and down. Now that message will be used to fuel the engines of a new NASCAR race team.

The venture is called "The Dianetics Racing Team," named after the best-selling self-help book written by the movement's founder, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

Kenton Gray, a California race-car driver who has said Dianetics helped his life and driving performance, will head up the Dianetics team.

"It's markedly improved my focus and my consistency," said Gray in a statement. "Through Dianetics I've handled stress and increased my performance and ability to compete -- both on the track and in life."
