Wonderful clip, everyone should see it and pass it on. You see the hypocrites' speeches, including a nauseatingly earnest-looking Frist, and many others, and Jon and Steve are in full snark. Don't miss it and do consider leaving a supportive message in the comments section.

3. At the Crooks & Liars site someone named "Dave" is thanked for the clip

I wonder if that's our wonderful KVC (King of the Video Clip), dzika?

4. So you've got that "megachurch" in your backyard?

Loved Jon's line about how it's a place of worship that sounds like it might fight Godzilla, Must take up a LOT of space!

7. Highview Baptist has NOTHING on Six Flags Over Jesus

otherwise known as Southeast Christian Church.


HBC cost a mere $10 million.

SCC cost ~$80 million:

9. Wow! Talk about "God and Mammon"!!! Why choose when you can have

both!

Imagine the names of some of the rides they might have. Boggles the imagination how these people think they follow what Jesus said. They must never have actually READ the bible except for the carefully cherry-picked quotes thee hucksters give them.

10. I get to drive by SFOJ whenever I visit my sister

I love it when they get behind my car w/my anti-Bush and "Keep Your Religion Out of My Government" stickers!

11. They're probably wondering why the Archangel Michael (or Gabriel or

whoever) doesn't smite your heretical bumper with his mighty flaming sword (or whatever). Gives 'em something to think about for once.

Geez, that is really creepy, having so many of them so close. I live in a little town outside Boston where the Mormons are very, very strong and have a big church. There was a long-standing fight about allowing them to build a super-tall tower-thing that would be visible from the highway. God's glory and advertising and all that.

5. Thanks for the video link. My daughter fired her cable company for

pandering to the far right. She does miss the Daily Show though! Will send her the link.

6. She should also enjoy this "Gaywatch" Jon Stewart clip

It starts funny/silly and then gets very hard-hitting indeed. Wonderful, Jon at his best:

13. Extremely cool. I'll have to figure out how to use it on my computer.

They have some instructions for earlier versions of the Mac OS. Love the listings!

[Roland99]

15. I use

azureus

not sure if there's a Mac version.

[Nothing Without Hope]

16. Thanks. There is a Mac version - don't know if it is up to date.

But I'll look into this and see if I can use it safely on my machine.
Thanks again! :hi:
