August Harper's = Best. Issue. Ever.
Mark Crikspin Miller on the ballot discrepancies in Ohio and a servile media,

Bill McKibben on the perversion of Christianity in America,

and a grea, laugh-out-loud transcrip of a radio interview with a fundie nutjob who confesses to having sex with mules.

What more do you need?

How about the conduct brochure from "Refuge", a rehab centre run by the "Love in Action Ministry"? "Thong style underware is prohibited." "No access to malls of any kind."

Go buy it, it's hilarious.

1. Harper's does great work on exposing the fundies
the two articles several months ago titled "Soldiers of Christ" were both excellent. I haven't read the newest issue but plan to do so.

2. Crispy Miller's thing was a very good summation.
Made me pig-biting mad all over again.

3. totally agree!
I mean, I usually enjoy Harper's, but the August issue completely kicked ass. I read it on a flight from DFW to SFO last Thursday night, and it kept me quite happily occupied for much of the flight.

Meanwhile, while I'm reading McKibben's article on American Xian Perversity, the guy sitting by the window is reading some chapter about Sin in a Billy Graham book. Such irony.

4. thanks--just subscribed
I need some good bedtime reading material.

And a plus: It's only $14.97 a year.
