It appears that members of the right-wing Hutaree Militia were arrested in raids in Michigan last night. Fox News reports that the seven in custody were selling pipe bombs. The FBI refused to comment.

Brian Rooney, a 22-year veteran at ABC News, was laid off this week. Just another victim of a financially shaky company? Or is Brian reaping the evil crop sown by his father, Andy Rooney? A reader has a theory!

Divine Florida Gators quarterback and bona-fide Christian soldier Tim Tebow has everyone riled up about his upcoming anti-abortion Super Bowl ad. The arguing's unnecessary. You're only hurting yourself, Timmy. America's not ready for a Jesus Freak Superstar.

Future NFL bust Tim Tebow will appear in an anti-abortion Super Bowl ad.

In your icy Tuesday media column: Michael Wolff vs. David Carr vol. 89, a belated apology for the "worst deal of the century," a Christian is found in the liberal media, and the NYT luvs Kim Kardashian (maybe).

Politicians in Uganda have been discussing the death penalty for gay people in their country. They have been emboldened by three American evangelicals who went to Africa to spout their hate. Let's meet these men.

Oral Roberts has finally been killed by God for not raising enough money.

Nidal Hasan, a Muslim, killed a bunch of people at Ft. Hood. Clearly, this calls for the angriest members of the right wing to compete to say the most paleoracist anti-Muslim thing. Today: Pat Robertson vs. Tunku Varadarajan.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America released its new social statement! Now the church "acknowledges the validity of same-sex relationships that are 'chaste, monogamous and lifelong.'" That's great news for... Hall and Oates.

Basil Wolverton was a devout Christian, an apocalypse aficionado, and MAD magazine's most prominent creator of 1950s grotesquerie. And—now—a fine artist.

Just as you knew would happen, those innocent Christian "EX-MASTURBATOR" and "EX-HOMOSEXUAL" t-shirts have spawned knockoffs. Liberals and their "memes" are so predictable:

Christians are not taking the Atheist War on Christmas lying down. Heathens ran quirky, anti-god ads in DC recently, so Christians are striking back with a novel strategy—quirky, pro-god ads!

Having pissed off Oprah, the book industry, and us, former Gawker intern James Frey's working on a book, his own "theoretical third book of the Bible," that will now piss off Christians.

The internet is great for turning random people into momentary stars, then allowing them to fade out into nothingness. But don't you wonder what ever became of all those strange characters you see in funny YouTube clips? Sure you do! Usually you're only left with your own conspiracy theories. But one person at MetaFilter came up with a crazy idea: call somebody! That's how he helped solve the mystery of Sonseed, the totally captivating Christian ska band whose Christ-tastic "Jesus Is My Friend" recently became a viral YouTube hit, only to be accused of being a fraud. Oh, they're only too real: MetaFilter user nickskye actually looked up the lead singer of Sonseed, Sal Polichetti, and called him up. They are no hoax, says Sal (who also sent Idolator a kind of nasty letter saying the same thing earlier this month):

Focus on the Family founder James Dobson is fighting the Obama campaign's effort to win the evangelical Christian vote. The fiercely pro-life author and speaker rebutted Obama's "fruitcake interpretation" of the Bible on his radio show today. Apparently back in 2006, Obama gave a speech to a liberal Christian group pointing out Old Testament Hebrew laws, to highlight the problem with legislating according to the Bible. In fact, that speech sounds a lot like this clip from the West Wing, the show about fictional awesome president Martin Sheen that helped so many liberals endure the first Bush term:

The Obama campaign, which of course is a cult comparable to the Manson family, is now causing people to faint. Breitbart has a string of videos (shown below) of Obama reacting to faintings at rallies. I grew up in a Pentacostal church — preachers "slaying people in the spirit" and all — and these clips took me back. I kept waiting for Obama to start speaking in tongues. Of course, anyone from my hometown church who'd be swayed by this, would also note that Obama makes a perfect antichrist.

Hey, have you heard about The Vision Forum's annual Father and Daughter Discipleship Retreats, which include "unity" events such as "daughters shaving their daddies" and "daughters dressing their daddies?" Probably not, right? That's because, no matter how much rent you have to pay or how many passed-out, head-injured bums you have to pole-vault over in order to get to the subway stop in the morning, you get to be hundreds of miles away from this kind of sick perversity. Praise the Lord!
