Apparently, The desire to ridicule the idea of revereing a piece of unlevened bread is a "threat" to the Republican National convention.

My favorite quotes from the article above:

“I just felt security at the Republican National Convention ought to look at him and his followers,” Foley told CNA in a phone interview on Wednesday morning. He reported that he had not received an update about his request.

Voicing his concerns about Myers, Foley said: “What I think he has done, he’s loaded a cyberpistol and he’s cocked it and he’s left it on the table. He may have set something in motion that no one can stop. It was irresponsible, a hell of a thing to do.”

Oh my goodness!  Myers has a cyberpistol??!!  Whoa.  I want one too!  "Dear Budda, please bring me a cyberpistol, ooooh!  and a jet pack! (apologies to Joss Wheden)

And this one is good too.

Foley said he believes Myers was telling his readers to acquire a consecrated Host at Mass, which Foley thought would result in disruptions.

“What’s he telling them to do? Consecrated Hosts are not just lying around,” he said to CNA, noting that the only other possible way to secure a Host would be to accost a priest, nun, or layman taking the Sacrament to the sick. Even E-bay, Foley emphasized, has prevented the sale of consecrated Hosts.

Whoa.  Again.  Catholics sound badass!  Lutherans just hand them out to anyone who shows up at the alter.  The pastor just plops it down in your hand.  I had no idea that in the Catholic church you had to fight for it!  Whoa.

I have this weird vision now of Prof. Myers standing atop a hill in a dark hellscape a la "The One"...cyberpistol in one hand,  the other hand repeatedly backfisting and striking down an onrushing hord of Republicans intent on denying him the Host.

I better go and watch Rush on Colbert before my imagination adds tenticles to the scene. <shudder>

"I better go and watch Rush on Colbert before my imagination adds tenticles to the scene."

No way, really? Wait, this is a weird fantasy for you, right?

John,

The part about Rush being on the Colbert report? or the part about PZ having teneticles?

Rush on the COlbert Report would not be a fantasy of mine exactly, but I love to see them every chance I get. They're just so awsome.

The part about PZ havint tenticles is a joke related to the fact that he is a marine biologist specializing in Cephalopods, and people are always sending him artwork where they have rendered him as an octopus, or squid, or rendered him as himself with teneticles. The image came supplied by others, thanks.
