Twenty-Four Hour Shopping in Rapture

If you groove on video of Americans waving foreign flags and breaking into interpretive frugs, check out Max Blumenthal's report on the Christians United for Israel conference. The "get a bunch of kooks to say kooky things" school of journalism is hotly debated, but I think anyone who gets Tom DeLay to say he "hopes the Rapture happens tomorrow" is doing the work of the one true God.* (Click the links below if the video doesn't show up.)

My inside sources tell me that The American Conservative will have a story on the conference that "doesn't focus so much on the crazies." But they're not counting Sen. Joe Lieberman as a "crazy"—a beginner's mistake.
