Knock, knock, who’s there?

Posted on October 27, 2007 by Charles Lambert

Never heard of Sylvia Browne? I hadn’t either before I read this article by Jon Ronson in today’s Guardian Unlimited. Apparently, she’s the most famous psychic in the United States. If you’d like to ask her a question about, say, … Continue reading →

Pope duck

Posted on October 26, 2007 by Charles Lambert

Tempted? If making your own holy water (just immerse pope duck in bath!) doesn’t grab you, try some of the other goodies Miss Poppy has in stock. (The Handzoff anti-masturbation cream looks like a real bargain.) Go on! You won’t … Continue reading →

Clench, dean, clench…

Posted on October 18, 2007 by Charles Lambert

Remember the auto-erotically asphyxiated pastor a few posts below (click here)? The one with a condom-sheathed dildo up his, er, revealed truth? It turns out he was once the dean of Jerry Falwell’s ‘university’. Probably gave out straight ‘A’s in … Continue reading →

Just in case you haven’t already come across it, I’ve linked to the site of MediaWatchWatch. This is what it’s all about: MediaWatchWatch was set up in January 2005 in reaction to the religious campaign against the BBC’s broadcasting of … Continue reading →

Rubber I get, but slippers?

Posted on October 11, 2007 by Charles Lambert

My thanks to Popbitch for directing my attention to this story. An Alabama minister who died in June of “accidental mechanical asphyxia” was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized … Continue reading →

Pro-life (as in, er, death)

Posted on October 8, 2007 by Charles Lambert

Amnesty International’s decision to endorse the decriminalisation of abortion when the woman’s life is at stake or the foetus is the product of sexual violence has been attacked by religious fundamentalists, including, naturally, the gaggle of officially celibate old men … Continue reading →

Get with child a mandrake root

Posted on October 4, 2007 by Charles Lambert

It’s good to see Exeter University’s professor of complementary medicine expressing serious doubts about the validity of many herbal remedies. Most of them, apparently, don’t work and may even be harmful. This ought to be self-evident but, for an ever-increasing … Continue reading →

I am human just like them

Posted on September 6, 2007 by Charles Lambert

Johann Hari may have got it wrong about Iraq (and, if I remember correctly, he’s acknowledged this more than once) but he’s spot on when he talks about homophobia. His article in today’s Independent, examining the way gay kids are … Continue reading →

A mamma, li turchi

Posted on August 25, 2007 by Charles Lambert

Remember Adnan Oktar? Of course you don’t. He’s the nutter behind the Atlas of Creation, a lavishly produced load of anti-evolution shite mass-mailed throughout Europe, as well as attempts to outlaw Darwinism in his own country and others. You can … Continue reading →
