Camo on dogs just seem counter intuitive to us.

You might not have known this, but this blog would never have existed if not for the Catholics. Maybe that why we’re wondering about the awkward relationship between Catholics and Huckabee.

Apparently, the Arkansonian presidential hopeful is crossing his fingers that the Catholics will forget that he’s associated with the anti-clerical evangelicals Protestants, but remember he loves to metaphysically hug and squeeze unborn fetuses, not to mention that he likes to talk about other things that Catholics like:

“Catholics were a major source of support for me in Arkansas. And they have been nationally. And it’s not only because of the pro-life and pro-family issues,” he said, refering to his opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage. I certainly believe that Catholics are right about talking about poverty, disease and hunger. Things I talk about … I think a lot of evengelicals have not talked enough about it quite frankly.”

Huckabee might think flattery will get him into the oval office, but the Catholics probably disagree considering the company Huckabee keeps. (By the way, enough with the “Huck Up” jokes. We get it. It’s hilarious; his name rhymes with “fuck.”) While you may think Chuck Norris is offensive, the Catholics have lit a fire under Huckabee’s ass for his aligning himself with evangelical leaders who’ve accused the Church of creating anti-Semitism and practicing paganism and idolatry. (Snap.)

So how does Huckabee defend his love for the Pope?

In short, if I held any animosity toward Catholics, I don’t think Justice Scalia would have ever taken me up on my invitations to go duck hunting.

Obviously, Huckabee only befriends paragons of ethical virtue, which to be honest, the Catholics will eat up because someone really needs to think about the children.

Men of the Cloth you’ll want to disrobe.

Yet, another gem from the Spanish media:
The Unofficial Vatican Calendar of Hot Priests

The Internet is useful for a variety of things. You can sell your old CDs at eBay, or you can load up on free shit from Craigslist. Let’s face it, our generation’s personal economy and finances are interwoven with the World Wide Web. But there are certainly limits as to what you can do on the Internet, right?

Turns out there aren’t. How do we know this? Go to Help My Baby Live and you will find the story of a couple asking for $50,000 to raise a child or else they have an abortion. $50,000 or the fetus bites it.

It’s quite the plan, though. Think about the target demographic for this ploy. Even though the two proud parents contend that they aren’t pro-life, the obvious aim is to tug the heartstrings of the computer-literate Christian pro-lifers. Seems we’re not the only ones to catch on to this. An anonymous reader wrote:

The beauty of this scam is that Pro Lifers are so emotionally attached to this issue that they would rather take their chances losing a few bucks to a scam then think that it may be possible an asshole like you exists who weighs decisions like abortion on the outcome of an internet fundraiser.

It gets uglier, though. There are a fair share of people who don’t seem to really care for the Web site or its createors. “PENNYDETROIT4″ emphatically wrote:

IF U WANT GO AHEAD ABORT THE BABY GOD WILL JUDGE YOU SOME DAY FOR IT.AND WHEN YOU REALLY WANT A CHILD I PRAY THAT YOU DO NOT GET ONE YOU ARE LOW LIFE IN THIS WORLD MAYBE YOUR TWO MOMS SHOULD HAVE ABORTED YOUSE THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE TRYING TO SCAM MONEY FROM PEOPLE.

Either way, something is working. As of June 28, they’ve raised $12,500, which isn’t too shabby. With 79 days left, the couple, who operate the Web site anonymously, is asking for donations in order to pay for child-rearing:

We’ve crunched some numbers, and we believe that, to really set ourselves up in a good environemnt for the baby, we need $50,000. That’ll give us the down payment on a decent house, get us a car that runs reliably, allow us to save away a little for the baby’s college fund, cover any medical bills (she’s uninsured), and give us a little buffer while she’s not working.

If you’re so inclined, you can check out more of the couple’s hate mail.

A booze that drinks like liquid mint chocolate chip ice cream. Grasshoppers kiss glass rims with bubbly bright green yumminess. As Mom always says, “It’s Christmas, damnit.” So, swallow your familial resentment and these delicious dessert cocktails… and do it together like you mean it for Christ’s Sake. This is another well-honed original recipe.

GRASSHOPPERS:

• 1 oz Vodka
• 1 oz Green Creme de Menthe
• 1 oz White Creme de Cacao
• 1 oz 1/2 and 1/2, light cream or whole chocolate milk

Shake and strain ingredients into a chilled highball or shallow martini glass. Shush now, it’s family fun time.

The Culture Warrior cannot believe this is a news item on CNN. Actually, we can. But we don’t like to admit it because we’re blogging it.

Kramer, Kramer, Kramer. Are you Jewish or not? In the latest contrived move to lessen the heat off racist comments, Michael Richards has declared that he is a Chosen Person.

Word is this is in response to claims that he made anti-Semitic comments at a stand up show previous to his impromptu set earlier this month when he

The worst part, the Jews don’t want Richards. Says one Jewish leader:

“There are many people who appreciate Jewish customs, who may embrace aspects of Jewish culture and practice, but that does not make them Jewish,” he said.

Sorry, Michael. Seems like you’re going to have to start hocking copies of that new Seinfeld DVD to pay for your defense team.
