Huckabee in Israel, Carville in Afghanistan, Obama Targeted as “Anti-Semitic Jew-Hater”

Crazy comes in many forms. First, James Carville was invited to advise Ghani’s presidential campaign in Afghanistan. Now Huckabee’s been invited to promote Israeli expansion into Palestinian territory by a group of far-right religious settlers. I’m just wondering: are these two guys culturally/ideologically sensible per the ins and outs of these regions?

Huckabee has stated that he supports Israeli expansion and settlement building in the West Bank. He is also opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state. Huckabee actually cares?! Or does he believe such a move will appeal to American Jewish sentiment with something up his sleeve for 2012? In any case, Huckabee is the honored guest of the Ateret Cohanim, a right-wing religious group planning twenty apartment projects in East Jerusalem. Obama has vented his disapproval of Israeli expansion, causing the far-right to protest with banners reading, “Barak Hussein Obama: Anti-Semitic, Jew-Hater.” So yes, crazy does, indeed, come in many forms.

Likeness of Jesus found on a fishbone

A North Carolinian couple recently on holiday in Florida came home with an interesting memento. Seems they were strolling a beach looking for sea shells with friends when they came upon a large fishbone which appears to have jesus on a cross etched perfectly into the bone’s front side. Not content with this joyous message of happiness, they turned the bone over, only to find…..THE DEVIL etched into the other side. Overjoyed at their luck, the proud owners are happy to let us know that this won’t end up on eBay, though I’m sure they could easily pull 7 or 8 large for it. Go go North Carolina!

Want a flash-based MP3 player that not only let’s you jam your christian rock, but also show the world what religion you identify with? Then the Saint B MP3 player will be perfect for you. Only a prototype for now, this is most certainly a product I see being mass produced and selling quite well. A flash-memory based MP3 player in a chrome-plated steel frame, shaped like a cross, the Saint B also features an OLED display covered by a semi-transparent piece of plastic. Charging and login are done via USB and the overall size is 92x64x11mm. Star of David coming soon?

Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin work crowd into a fit of holy laughter

I’m just, amazed. Shocked. Baffled. Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin are names that some know quite well. As firebrand Pentecostal ministers, they both were a little, unstable to say the least. As you can see in this video during a pastor’s conference, they both work the crowd into a fit of “holy laughter”, dancing, thrashing, falling around, mooing and speaking in tongues. It’s actually pretty uncomfortable to watch, considering half of the crowd are obviously only mooing because they don’t want to seem the odd one out. I don’t see how the Baby Jesus could like this one bit.
