The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right

"Like all great satire, the book is cerebral, irreverent and hilarious, while also edifying"
Publisher's Weekly


Editor's Pick: "From the author of The Hipster Handbook comes this irreverent navigation of all things Evangelical. Learn enough slang to fit in at a church picnic or why SpongeBob SquarePants is an agent of the Devil"
Chicago Sun-Times


"This guy has written quite a funny book."
Alan Colmes, Fox News


"A funny book with some funny cartoons on everyone from Rick Warren as the evangelical Jimmy Buffett to a guide for Christian haircuts that is hilarious... I was chuckling until I saw that I am the postscript"
Mark Driscoll, pastor of the
largest megachurch
in Washington State


"Every good little liberal will have this book on order as a stocking stuffer come Jesus' birthday."
Time Out


"A handbook for coping with bible thumpers.... When considering the power and influence evangelical Christians wield in this country, you have to laugh to keep from crying. Robert Lanham... understands this well and offers much needed, totally biased comic relief."
Village Voice


"Not only is this an important
book, it's a funny book."
Marc Maron, Air America Radio

"Author Robert Lanham is an observer... but with his latest, The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right, Lanham's keen eye has hit perhaps his most entertaining target."
Metro Paper


"An utterly biased, humorous one-stop guide to the major evangelical players."
Details


"Check out Robert Lanham's (author of the fabled Hipster Handbook and former Bible Belt resident) Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right. It's funny because it's true."
Elizabeth Spiers,
founding Editor of Gawker


"Like the Daily Show or The Colbert Report, it's humor reveals the basic truth. Which is to say that the "sinners" of the world may be closer to Jesus and the divine than those who use God's name for personal enrichment, power building, and political gain."
Buzzflash


"The book does for religion what Jon Stewart does for politics."
CanWest News Service


"Hilarious... go out and buy this book now."
Sam Seder, The Majority Report


"This book should lay at the lifeless feet of your corpse as a silent, yet powerful and all encompassing explanation as to why you took your own life."
David Cross, Arrested Development

James Dobson: More Gay GOP Congressman Will Be Outed

jamesdobsonsucks.jpg

And who would know better than the expert on all things gay, James Dobson. [From Ethics Daily]

Dobson said a congressman has told him that several other gay Republicans will be "outed" in coming days. He said he doesn't know who they are, but, "They say it is going to be worse than anything that has happened so far."

"They are dribbling this bad news out so eventually the values voters will get to the point so they will say a pox on both your houses; I'm staying home," Dobson said. "Folks you cannot afford to do that."

So let's get this straight: Dobson wants his followers, the "values voters," to not be deterred by news of closeted homosexuality in the GOP. Isn't opposing homosexuality a core issue that defines them as "values voters?" Sounds like a mixed signal to us. Especially when the GOP leadership are apparently drunk on the liberal Molotov cocktail know as "Tolerance And Diversity" and are guilty of "shielding" GOP Congressman from being outed.

As Defcon has been reporting, Dobson's words were reported from a "Justice Sunday" event to a crowd that was "substantially smaller than a 'Justice Sunday' event held two years ago in the same church." His get out the vote tour is tanking.
