Daniel Pipes says so, and has good evidence. It’s not like it’s a secret (except perhaps to some workers in Obama’s campaign). Pipes has some interesting reflections, at the end of the article, on the possible consequences of Obama’s conversion from Islam to Christianity were he ever to become President. Such a conversion is considered deserving of death by hard-core Muslims.

An article in Earth Times describes some Hindus in the Far East as “deeply shocked and concerned over the unscrupulous means of advertisement” exhibited on CafePress.com because some marketer there sells underwear with Hindu gods on it.

YA THINK?
Parents everywhere are shocked that 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears, perfect-girl star of Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101″ and younger sister of “pop star” (whatever that means) Britney Spears, is pregnant.
‘Jamie Lynn told the US edition of OK! magazine: “It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he.’ (“OMG. How did that happen.”)
Oh, and so is her mother.
‘Her mother Lynne Spears says: “I didn’t believe it because Jamie Lynn’s always been so conscientious. She’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby.’
So shocked that she has to postpone the parenting book she was working on.

So 7.5% of the scientists mentioned by that report “may” have received energy industry funding. Well I guess we can just dismiss the whole report then, hmm, Kalee?

GREAT IS ARTEMIS OF THE EPHESIANS!
A man shot two burglars. The Black Panther party came to the neighborhood to protest and call for the shooter’s prosecution. A huge neighborhood rally blocked the Black Panthers with shouts, motorcycle gunning, and signs. And shouts of…. ”USA! USA! USA!” Hello? What does that have to do with the situation?
“He shot burglars! He should be prosecuted!”
“Oh yeah? Well, I support the USA!”
“Oh, well, that changes everything!”

DRIVER PASSES TEST, CRASHES INTO DPS BUILDING
Oh, the irony. And in Houston too! (I really have no idea what that has to do with it, but for the sake of my TX friends I couldn’t resist.)
