I love WorldNutNetDaily. I really do.
Joseph Farah, the founder/CEO/Head Nut has surrounded himself with some world-class wingnuts as writers. From the illustrious and storied actor, Chuck Norris and the Constitutional expert, Janet Porter, to that acclaimed journalist, Joe Kovacs, Farah has outdone himself.
Long the headquarters of Wingnut Nation, WND is also the central clearinghouse of 'information' on the Birther phenom, as well as colorful theories on 9/11, Obama-as-the-Antichrist, and other suchlike.
However, he's outdone himself today.
Easter, if Kovacs is to be believed, is 'evil' - in fact, WND has declared 'war' on Easter.
(Seems they just got around to noticing that the word "Easter" is a corruption of the names of at least three related, older deities - Eostre, Ostara, and Ishtar. Hence, chocolate bunnies and egg-hunts are 'out', if you're a 'real' Christian. Since the White House has sponsored an Easter-egg hunt since the Hayes administration 130 years ago, I imagine there'll be an 'evil Obama' link there, somewhere.)
Count on more foaming-at-the-mouth when someone gets around to breaking the news to Kovacs and Farah about the origins of Christmas.
Meantime, countless thousands of people are going to Easter services this Sunday. They should.
As I'm fond of saying - you can't make this stuff up....
