A Tea Party summer camp, more proof that these people should be sterilized before they reproduce:

Tampa Liberty is modeled after vacation Bible schools, which use fun, hands-on activities to deliver Christian messages.

One example at Liberty: Children will win hard, wrapped candies to use as currency for a store, symbolizing the gold standard. On the second day, the “banker” will issue paper money instead. Over time, students will realize their paper money buys less and less, while the candies retain their value.

“Some of the kids will fall for it,” Lukens said. “Others kids will wise up.”

Another example: Starting in an austere room where they are made to sit quietly, symbolizing Europe, the children will pass through an obstacle course to arrive at a brightly decorated party room (the New World).

Red-white-and-blue confetti will be thrown. But afterward the kids will have to clean up the confetti, learning that with freedom comes responsibility.

And on another day, they will burn science and math books because critical reasoning skills are for wimps, fags, atheists and commies.

Then they will all gather in a circle and play a game, with the winner being the team that knows the least about constitutional law and world geography.

From an article titled Accused Pad Thai Slapper Found Not Guilty:

The legal protection of self-defense, it seems, has been extended to noodle-related strife.

On Wednesday, Judge ShawnDya Simpson of Manhattan Criminal Court found Marcella Caprario, 37, an opera singer and English-as-a-second-language teacher, not guilty on charges of attempted assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree.

Between this and Harold Camping losing his ability to speak, it appears miracles may not happen, but there is cosmic justice at times:

Investigators say a man has died while in the act of raping an elderly South Texas woman.

The Refugio (reh-FYOO’-ree-yoh) County Sheriff’s Office identifies the man as 53-year-old Isabel Chavelo Gutierrez. Sheriff’s Sgt. Gary Wright says the incident happened June 2 after he rode two miles by bicycle from his home to that of his 77-year-old victim in the tiny coastal community of Tivoli.

The mayor of Lima has nixed the president’s plans to hoist in her city a really big statue of Jesus Christ — a statue that looks suspiciously like one in Brazil:

The mayor of the Peru’s capital may have spoiled President Alan Garcia’s plans to erect a huge statue of Jesus similar to Brazil’s iconic Christ the Redeemer on a hill overlooking Lima’s Pacific coastline.

In this June 10, 2011 photo provided by Peru's Presidential Press Office, Peru's President Alan Garcia, second from the left, walks next to the upper section of the "Christ of the Pacific" statue in Chorrillos, Peru.

Lima Mayor Susana Villaran says Garcia didn’t ask her before announcing on Friday his intention to have “Christ of the Pacific” put up for a June 29 inauguration. The statue will be 22 meters (72 feet) high and stand atop a 15-meter (49-foot) base.

Villaran has criticized its suitability and lack of originality – it resembles the famed Rio de Janeiro work.
