Public School Co-ops Christian Children’s Hymn for Student Program Praising Obama
The national advocacy group In God We Trust today blasted the B. Bernice Youngs Elementary School in New Jersey for forcing children to sing a rap version of the hymn “Jesus Loves the Little Children” in which references to Jesus were replaced with name of President Obama. The video of the schoolchildren singing the song was recently posted on the Internet. School officials released a letter stating the activity was officially sanctioned. “What this school did with these children is deplorable,” says Bishop Council Nedd, Chairman of In God We Trust. “It is bad enough that children are being forced to sing the praises of a politician, but to also take lyrics from a Christian hymn and replace Jesus with ‘Obama’ makes this even worse. In New Jersey kids can no longer pray to God but they are required to praise the President. The principal of this school and every official associated with this nightmare should be dismissed.”

Flashback: Year 2000 Article On Burning Man By Tom Horn
For the past ten years earth-worshipping pagans have migrated from Canada, Brazil, Germany, Russia, and 25 other countries, to an isolated corner of Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where a four-day-long New Age techno-fest known as "The Burning Man" has been conducted. Recent attendance at The Burning Man surpassed 15,000 wiccans, satanists, goddesses (white witches), nudists, and a consortium of other lost party-goers, who converged on the hot Nevada desert for a Labor Day weekend of "glorious Hell on earth." ... THE QUEST FOR HELL: The Burning Man is a no-holds-barred New Age "Woodstock" style festival, where neo-pagans, wiccans, transvestitie entertainers, and back-slidden Christians go to trance, perform rituals, burn sacrifices to pagan gods and goddesses, dance in the nude, engage in sex, and otherwise "express" themselves and become one with Gaia. Attendees set up theme camps such as "Lost Vegas," "Motel 666," and "Crucifixion With a Celebrity" (where one can purchase a picture of a crucified obese Elvis). Hamburgers are sold by devil-worshippers at the McSatan cafe, and T-shirts are available that proudly proclaim, "Praise The Whore."

San Francisco Newspaper Offers Advice On How To Enjoy Mind-Altering Drugs At Burning Man
San Francisco has always been a big recreational drug town, from its opium dens of yore to the pill-popping beats and acid-eating hippies to business elites doing bumps in bathrooms to ravers on E and cranked-out clubbers, not to mention the tattered street souls scoring fixes of crack or smack. But in terms of sheer numbers of Bay Area partiers stocking up on the full illegal pharmacopoeia all at once, it's hard to top right now, the month of August, the run-up to Burning Man. Now I know what they say. This event — which started in San Francisco 23 years ago and now occurs in the Nevada boondocks — isn't simply a big drug fest. Many burners don't even do drugs anymore. It's about "radical self-expression" and "radical self-reliance" and all kinds of other radical stuff, like a gift economy, public nudity, and massive fire cannons. Radical, dude. But let's get real, m'kay? Burning Man may be many things, but among those things is that it may be the best time and place on the planet to ingest mind-altering substances, something recognized even by attendees who don't regularly do drugs — although most burners also do them here.

Student "Advice" Columnist Tells Kids "Burning Man Is Summer's Hottest Road Trip!"
Burning Man, an August 31-September 7 happening in the Nevada desert, is perhaps best described in words from the Burning Man site: "Burning Man is an annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance." It's quite a scene and one worth seeing and doing if you're so inclined, and it's one heck of an excuse for a last summer road trip before you put the cooler away for another year. Camping is the thing and Burning Man happens about 130 miles from Reno, so grab some gear before you go. Burning Man ride share boards exist to find burning-bound folks for sharing gas...

'Obama is like the Messiah': Africans react to Obama's visit to Ghana  FEATURE!!! 
Africans are in love with him because he has an African pedigree: a Kenyan father and a humble, poor background. He is very well liked in Nigeria. You see people wearing t-shirts with his name and photograph, and some call their children Obama. When George Bush invaded Iraq people were very angry, but for the first time ever people are now in love with America. Obama is a saviour.
