April 27, 2011 – 10:42 am

Ken “Honeybaked” Ham, the intellectual child abuser and president of fundamentalist nonprofit Answers in Genesis (AiG) — which preaches to mentally defenseless children the empirically false idea that dinosaurs and humans lived together just a couple thousand years ago and that gay people can’t share food with straight people — released a fundraising letter Monday that is (shockingly) [...]

January 25, 2011 – 10:19 am
