This was prompted by this bbc news story: "Japanese researchers claim to have produced healthier pork by implanting a spinach gene into a pig". The headline? Well, you can read it here for yourselves.......

Pop star Fatboy Slim has taken cocaine! On one of the red tops about two years ago. DJ takes drugs! Pop stars take coke! Oh my, everything I knew about the world was wrong.

(Is it too early for swathes of sarcasm?)

We Americans are blessed with a raving reactionary lunatic named Alan Keyes. (Here, look, his Declaration Foundation has lots to say about things like abortion and whether or not Harry Potter books will lead our young into the moral cesspool of the occult.) MSNBC, apparently readying itself for a losing race-to- the-bottom with Fox News, gave this guy a program. I saw an ad for it the other day, and fucking lost it over the title:

ALAN KEYES IS MAKING SENSE

I mean, good lord, Alan Keyes? Making sense? I'd pay money to see that!
