Yes. It was founded in 1982 by Sun Myung Moon and owned by a church-affiliated media corporation until 2010, when an internal feud was resolved by an even CLOSER-affiliated media corporation buying it from the first one. Apparently it was becoming too independent for the official Unification Church and they wanted closer ties between the church and the paper.
Nope, you’re not the only one.
Why do they call a hat a “cover”?
I’ve always wondered how the RW rationalizes cozying up to a dude who claims to be the Messiah.
Why does the Navy call a bathroom a “head”? It’s service-specific jargon. A hat “covers” your head (but not your “head”).
It’s a Marine thing, you wouldn’t understand. 
Wiki Answers says it’s just a more formal term for a hat.
WAG-Millitary nomenclature. “Male, Head, Covering, Cloth.” 
Beats me, when obviously the proper word is “latrine.”

I would not participate, but could not restrain myself from checking to see if the juke box has “In The Navy” by the Village People, and I have sufficient change.
The creepy partnership between Moon and Jerry Farwell is a reminder that when it comes to serving both Jesus and Mammon, the conservative Evangelicals will tell you all things are possible with “God.”
This one is straight out of Kansas, so I think it is safe to say it is a Republican idea. Stupid? In spades! From here:
No kidding, text of the bill here.
Oh, thank God the wise leaders in Kansas are saving us all from the liberal conspiracy to meet human needs- not only now, but in the future, those bastards :eek: Clearly those relentless librulz just want more survivors to kneel before Zod, don’t say you weren’t warned!!!11!!!
That is… Wow. How the fuck do they not understand how dumb that sounds?
It sounds dumb to us. If you were an evangelical Christian Republican who was convinced that Jesus would arrive within your lifetime and end the world, it sounds perfectly reasonable. Why spend all that money on something that’s never going to happen, after all?
It looks like pretty much the ultimate expression of “Fuck you, I got mine.”
Ah. Right. Keep forgetting that your country is by and large run by fucking loony people.
If it’s going to happen, of what use is money?
It must be of some use, why else would they still be so frantic to accumulate as much as possible?
It keeps it out of the hands of the weak willed and sinful.
Buying a Stairway to Heaven starting playing in my head.
They already have reservations, no need to buy anything.
I’m not sure I even understand what they’re trying to do here. Are they trying to cut off state funds for any kind of development that helps the state? What would be the purpose of that?
