Speaking of People Who Poke Badgers With Spoons...

Roger Ebert examines one such, with videos.

Short quote:
Beck even went so far as to cite Jesus Christ, saying, and I quote: "Nowhere does Jesus say, Hey, if somebody asks for your shirt, give your coat to the government and have the government give them a pair of slacks." Well, Beck has me there. It is quite true that nowhere does Jesus say that. Nor, for that matter, does he ever say, A wop bop a lu bop, a wop bam boom!
I hear that some right-wingers (who will never score in hockey) want to edit the Bible to "correct" the words of Christ to be more like those of Ayn Rand. Note to these twerps: Matthew, chapter 5, and Luke, chapter 6. Special to GB: Matthew 5:40, Luke 6:29.

(The Conservative Bible is going to be a Very Short Book.)
