Damn. Hit the nail on the head, again. More real news from a fake news source.

1. yeah its pretty scary when the parody isnt that far off from reality

like the fake fundie landover baptist church website:

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

or betty bowers (another fundie parody):

http://www.bettybowers.com/

you laugh but its all almost true on those sites. :scared:

2. Yeah, I know...

Definitely scary when fake news is more real than real news... a la Jon Stewart and the Daily Show. LandoverBaptist is :scared:, too...

Orwell would be so proud. Or kicking all of our collective asses for not paying attention, more likely.

3. many of us ARE paying attention...

but you would never know it. People outside the US seem to be more aware with what is going on, or that is how it seemed to me when I was away for a few months last year. I could pretty much say anything anti-Bush on the plane(s) (while flying outside US anyways, within US probably different story) or airport lounge(s) and count on whoever I was talking to agreeing with me. :shrug:
