Awful people are unsurprisingly awful

Remember how I joked that it would be only a matter of time before crazy religious people started to blame Hurricane Irene on the gays? Apparently, God is more concerned about where people stick their penises than, say, the huge famine in Africa that’s killing thousands of people.

Well, shit in a hat, I was right. Here they are right now! Say what you will about these assholes, you have to give them credit for streamlining the process. It used to be that you’d have to wait a couple months before the pompous blowhard-du-jour would spew hate on TV. Now they can just throw it on the internet right away. Thanks Al Gore!
