Reverend Moon owns the Washington Times?!

Okay, maybe this is of limited interest to my fellow jerks, but this blew my mind.

Fact 1. The Washington Times is the conservative rival to the Washington Post. My grandfather, staunch Republican, reads it probably daily.

Fact 2. The Washington Times was founded by Reverend Moon... you know, of the Moonies.

Fact 3. The Washington Times sponsors an event attended by representatives/senators on both sides of the aisle (including Roscoe Bartlett and Elijah Cummings)... where Rev. Moon is crowned Messiah by Danny K. Davis (D-Illinois)... in a Senate office building, no less.

Video here for at least a while, anyway. Some dude who wrote an article for Salon about it is blogging with a vengeance about same. If the video link doesn't work, there's bittorrent links on the blog as well.

What the fuck?

Ok, as long as I can trade said Pulitzer in for more poker chips that I can use on poorly-considered bluffs.

Klimas, there's only one internet commodity i'm concerned with. Fuck Gmail, fuck e-bay, but if you can get me a World Of Warcraft beta spot, i'll be your best-friend-4-life.

For Feez's use of the phrase "best-friend-4-life," I hearby request admission into the Anti-Feez Coalition of the Willing.
