...episode 607 of South Park, Butters, in his guise as Professor Chaos, dreams up a host of insidious schemes-blocking out the sun, decapitating a South Park statue, selling the town a monorail-only to be told that these had already been spun out on a certain animated TV series. "How come every time I think of something clever," Butters asks, "The Simpsons already...
...caricature--the garish, bejeweled wife of wealthy televangelist Jim Bakker and the co-host of the Jim and Tammy Show. Yet by the '90s, as her husband was disgraced by his marital infidelities and served a prison sentence for defrauding followers, Tammy Faye Messner began to look more spiritual.

...closer look at the group's campaign suggests that it has both substance and significant promise. Four new host congregations will announce themselves in August, and more are in the pipeline: NSM has received hundreds of calls from interested congregations and participated in 33 phone conferences and 15 visits working out the details. The movement draws from an actual grass-roots network but has also garnered support within bodies as big as the United Methodist Church. Its solid biblical underpinnings make its issue particularly promising for the resurgent religious left, and it may peel conservative Protestant Hispanics from the right...
