Can you say “Minority Report”?

(the movie, not the short story by Phillip K. Dick)

The South Carolina government now requires all groups advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government or the South Carolina government by “unlawful means” to register with the state ($5 filing fee, please) or face punishments up to $25,000 and/or 10 years in prison.

Let’s get this straight.

If you form or join a group (domestic or foreign) that wants to foment armed rebellion against the federal government, South Carolina requires you to register the group’s name, the name and address of its leader(s), its members, its bylaws, and its meeting minutes.

Here is the form to fill out.

(BTW, South Carolina is also a state, along with 19 others, that requires drug dealers to report all income or face additional charges and punishments atop of whatever else they are convicted of.)

The dead horse being beaten ironically

I found this online poll earlier this week.

Is anyone surprised? That Fox News ran the poll?

The Mark of the Beast

According to the biblical book of Revelations, the Mark is the digits ’666′ placed upon the bodies of those who serve the Anti-Christ.

You’ve got to admire those classical-era psilocybin mushroom eaters.

According to members of the Virginia House of Delegates (and a few other skeevy folk), the Mark of the Beast is also implanted microchips.

Delegate Mark Cole (he’s a Republican, natch) claims that his bill, which seeks to criminalize involuntary chip implantation, makes a logical leap worthy of Pat Robertson:

“My understanding — I’m not a theologian — but there’s a prophecy in the Bible that says you’ll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times…some people think these computer chips might be that mark.”

Which people, Mr. Cole? These refugees from rationality? Perhaps these candidates for Darwinist natural selection? Or these morons?

(Little do they know that the real Mark of the Beast is everywhere already. What do you think those UPC barcodes are all about?)
