Happy Hour News Briefs

News, straight-up

Rev. Fishfart says that Big Gay is going to send your daughters to their doom because of the Boy Scouts. Say what?

  • Ancient self-loathing Gorgon Phyllis Schlafly says that feminism unfairly blames men for assaults, and that assaults will skyrocket if women are allowed in combat. No, really. (Human Events)
  • Is anyone surprised that far-right wing conservative America’s PAC funded white supremacist groups? Anyone? Bueller? (Mother Jones)
  • OK we began with Bryan Fishlips, we will conclude with him:

    “If the Scouts do not reverse themselves, we will soon be reading the kind of horror stories about Scouting that we have read about in the Catholic Church. Homosexual pedophiles already seek to infiltrate scouting because it provides a target rich environment for their twisted desires. Abolishing the sexual orientation standard will turn every Boy Scout in America into vulnerable prey for the sexually deviant.”

    (American Family Association)

And in other news, on this date in 2006 Mock, Paper, Scissors had its first post. And since then, we’ve had 16,500 posts, 84,000+ comments, and well over 5-million hits. Thanks for se7en years of fun, Scissorheads!

    Happy Anniversary, TG! I read your page every day (well, sometimes I read more than one day at a time to catch up).

    Ten, another milestone for mankind, but just another great day here at MPS!
    As for Fishfarts (I love that,) the Boy Scouts will be better for the absence of his bigoted spawn, and the military will be stronger for the absence of his idiot son.
