i prefer irish jokes

I like this.

Some bloggers for the Edwards campaign almost maybe got fired for saying something anti-Catholic (I'm not sure what). Then they got not-fired.
The New York Times Politics Blog quotes one of the bloggers, evincing sincere surprise and regret:

My writings on my personal blog, Pandagon on the issue of religion are generally satirical in nature and always intended strictly as a criticism of public policies and politics. My intention is never to offend anyone for his or her personal beliefs, and I am sorry if anyone was personally offended by writings meant only as criticisms of public politics. Freedom of religion and freedom of expression are central rights, and the sum of my personal writings is a testament to this fact.”

I checked out this Pandagon, (which, to me, sounds like something from Harry Potter) might in my exhaustive search for vile, awful statements about how penance is for pussies, or about how Jesus slept around, or "how can someone be %100 human and %100 divine. But didn't get too far.

However, another author on the blog attacked the conservatives who attacked the bloggers' attacks on catholics.

Sheelzebub, the author, calls them:
"monkeys"
"jackals"
"pathetic"
"thugs"
again with "jackals"
and again
then, "thugs"
a "brigade of flying monkeys" I like this one, especially since it implies that Michelle Malkin is the Wicked Witch of the West
"thugs"
"no Jody Foster" (Michelle Malkin)
"mouth-foaming diva" (Ann Coulter)
one more time "thugs"


Yeah! Hate on you antipapist bitches!
(and here I mean bitches in the cool, "you guys are my bitches", way, not in any way that someone might think is offensive)
