Rep. Ben Bridges (R-Cleveland, GA) is in trouble. A recent
memo from his office -- one
circulated this week by
Warren Chisum, a ranking member of the Texas state legislature -- has caught the attention of the
Anti-Defamation League.
They are not pleased.
And they're not alone. Why? Because in his memo,
Rep. Bridges --
sponsor of a perennial
anti-evolution education bill in the Georgia State House -- claims that
"so-called ’secular evolution science’ is the Big Bang, 15-billion-year, alternate ‘creation scenario’ of the Pharisee Religion." And that's not all. It would appear that Rep. Bridges is getting his information (and
templates for
his legislation) from
www.fixedearth.com -- a website dedicated not only to the removal of pro-evolution education from schools, but to the idea that "[t]he Earth is not rotating...nor is it going around the sun." Because you see, it's all part of
the Copernican Deception, a massive conspiracy propagated by
Christian Zionists,
NASA and ...
Madonna?

Kabbalah is the new Scientology "The Rav" - Born Feivel Gruberger in Brooklyn, was an insurance salesman before leaving his first wife and children to reinvent himself as a modern spiritual guru. He runs the Los Angeles-based Kabbalah Centre. When Berg blesses ordinary spring water, it apparently becomes "infused with kabbalistic meditation . . . for healing, well-being and rejuvenation" - qualities that are neatly marketed in his exclusive make-up range, which includes a "restoring night cream" at £80 and a £91 eye-cream.

While
Nerve strives for intelligent, what about full-on intellectual erotica? I submit
Foucault's Pendulous... at
Suspect Thoughts. Not – at all – to be confused with
Foucault's Pendulum, which oddly enough has its own bit of intellectual erotica in it that ties together the Khaballah, new pregnancy, and a woman telling her husband he's being an idiot, all at the same time.
