The Five Sin-ses

Strolling through the online weeds of NBC's multitudinous story sources, I came out with a handful of selections for your dining and dancing pleasure.
In no particular order, they are:

1. Goshen College, a Mennonite School in Indiana, recently dropped the National Anthem from the pre-game of all their sporting events because the song's violence is against their religion. (from "Rick's Cafe Americain", Rick Chandler's blog, NBC Sports)
2. Mother of Mercy, a Roman Catholic High School (RCHS) in Cincinnati--not to be confused with "WKRP in Cincinnati"--was forced to move its Ramadan dinner from the school to a church parish center. The event, which was planned in cooperation with the local Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and had been touted as a goodwill with Muslims effort, was moved in response to enraged emailers.
3. Glenn "Jews Talk Too Much" Beck had an interesting take on the Norway massacre. He said that the victims put him in mind of the Hitler Youth. "Who does a camp for kids that is all about politics," Beck commented. Beck's "9/12 Project" has run several youth camps this summer including one in Utah which focused on "the Constitution and the Founding generation".
4. Raymond Ibrahim, associate director of the Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, recently spoke at Everett Community College in Everett, Washington. Ibrahim has stated that "true adherents of Islam are compelled to wage jihad and present a threat to the U.S." Local Realtor, Jeff Siddiqui said in response to Ibrahim's belief that "America is, if we're not careful, very close to 1938 Germany."
5. Rick Santorum--the prick that keeps on giving-- blamed the U.K. riots on a "secular society" set upon by "hoodlums with no dads".
(Gad, he makes me tired! Look Ricky, much as you may love your patriarchal society, we really don't need men to tell us how to think and act, what to do with our reproductive organs, how to raise our kids, nor how to observe whatever it is that we do or do not choose to believe. Some of us do choose to co-cohabitate with the Y-chromosomes and others do not. All of us though, can do just fine guided by the lights of our own wits, to a woman. It isn't like you dudes have gotten a whole heck of a lot right lately, anyway.)

And now, go out, be fruity, and eat a pie.
