A nice little compilation. Ted Haggard meets Jesus Camp. Now I know why Jesus Camp didn't win an oscar. It was in the wrong category, they were a shoe in for an oscar in the child porn category.

Some of us are bogging down in a debate over whether the promotion of secular humanism should involve "bashing" religion, or whether we should only focus on presenting humanism in a positive light. The answer is that both are necessary

t is with some trepidation that I leave the train at Oxford and stride off towards the offices of the Oxford English Dictionary in Great Clarendon Street. I imagine the scene that awaits me: dark, oak-panelled rooms occupied by crusty, bearded old pedants

Re: Jesus Camp Christians have as much right to vote as pro-sodomite, pro-abortion anti-Christian bigots. SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.
I support a very late term abortion for him.

The guy interviewing grammar girl is a perfect example of the fact that many people either don't know good grammar and don't care about grammar or don't know good grammar but for some reason care very much about it and go about correcting others despite their ignorance. The people in the latter category use "whom" a lot, but don't know when it's appropriate, and make absurd claims that you can never end a clause with a preposition (even in spoken English, apparently!). These people I will not up with put.
The end result is grammatical anarchy--the only people willing to be enforcers are those who make up their own laws.
Dende Blogger, Was it Winston Churchill who said, "“Ending a sentence with a preposition is an outrage up with which I will not put!”
A freshman was at Princeton on his first day of school. He was looking for the library and didn’t know where to find it. He saw a gentleman in a knit sweater, and the freshman figured him for an upper classman. So he approached the man and asked, “Excuse me, can you tell me where the library is at?”
The upper classman snootily responded, “My dear boy, at Princeton, we do not end our sentences with a preposition.”
The freshman considered this for a moment, then said, “Ok, fine. Can you tell me where the library is at, asshole?”
Asking a pro-sodomite, pro-abortion, anti-christian bigot to say a prayer is a little dim, doncha think? I mean, by definition we do not buy the sin and hell line and have real troubles with the rest of the shctick. By the way love this website, been lurking for two years and finally summoned up the courage to post. Keep up the good work.
