Devil made ‘em do it: In another shining example of what’s wrong with the Catholic church (besides the whole transubstantiation business), the pope’s head exorcist has come and declared that Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin were both possessed by Satan. I am not making this up — it was published in the Daily Mail.

I doubt the MSM will find much time to cover this story, what with John Mark Karr being not guilty in the JonBenet Ramsey case, and all:
Two attorneys representing claimants in a lawsuit over wiretapping by the National Security Agency claim that they have sent subpoenas to the White House today, RAW STORY has learned.

Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine to 2005! Here are some doozies uttered by the people that brought us the Katrina disaster (Mother Nature exempted). They range from the blithely idiotic to the utterly clueless to the maliciously racist.

One day after Katrina hit, ice and water were being delivered to Homestead, 30 miles south of Miami, near the tip end of the state. While over 800,000 people were without power Friday morning, by Monday all but 90,000 had their electricity restored.

Gimme shelter: Tropical Storm Ernesto did less damage to the Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, today than Paris Hilton’s recent vow to remain celibate did to the straight males of the world. The storm rolled over the controversial base earlier this morning in a direct hit that didn’t hurt too much.
