Bush Swallows Foot, Ayahuasca Legalized, Subgenius Member Loses Custody, All-Catholic Town

Tuesday February 21, 2006

In an apparent bid to out-crazy professional evangelical foot-in-mouth disease spokesman Pat Robertson, George Bush has managed to offend an entire culture, reportedly refusing to visit the tomb of Mahatma Ghandi on the grounds that cremation is a "pagan practice" not acceptable to Jesus.

Good news: The Supreme Court has ruled that Unaiao do Vegetal may legally import and use Ayahuasca in religious ceremonies.

A member of the Church of the Subgenius alleges she lost custody of her child after a judge found her participation in group events offensive.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be welcomed here.
