Jesus W. Christ, ancient dildos, sexy vegans, & our latest photo caption winner

Fasten your seatbelts...you’re in for a bumpy ride:

While discussing opposition to President (sic) Bush’s nomination of John Roberts, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) told Fox News: “It’s a little bit like biblical Pharisees, you know, who basically are always trying to undermine Jesus Christ. You know, it goes on the same way.”

Who would Jesus nominate?

I recently interviewed Josh Frank, the author of “Left Out: How Liberals Helped Re-elect George W. Bush.”

Here’s a sample Q&A:

MZ: German scientists recently unearthed a stone dildo estimated to be around 28,000 years old (insert Strom Thurmond joke here). Is this the end of the world as we know it?

JF: I’ve never been asked that one before! Sounds like the beginning of civilization to me. We’ve come a long way since the stone dildo. That’s had to be cold. I am a huge fan of the Rabbit, which even comes with a remote control now. It’s not cheap, but it packs a punch. I’m glad to know my ancestors where enjoying themselves back in the day. I’m proud to say that I come from a long line of masturbaters.

(the aforementioned “Rabbit")

Vegans are hot:

The Vegan Vixens say: “The people we’re trying to reach would never, ever watch a teacher or somebody in a tie talking about this. When you do it in a sexy way, they listen.”

“In a brave public display, the two marionettes spoke flawlessly in unison.”
