This morning TIME Magazine announced that President Obama is their “Person of the Year” for 2012. He last received that honor in 2008. The other contenders were: Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head for advocating for girls’ education; Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi; and Bill and Hillary Clinton. Obama is only the second African-American after Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., to be selected. I eagerly await the usual cacophony of rancor from the Tea Party loons over TIME’s choice.

Bulletproof Backpack
Well, this makes sense. A company called Amendment II American Armor has come out with a “Bulletproof Backpack” – literally! Sold online for $300, the backpack “provides built-in ballistic protection in a backpack that weighs just ounces more than a non-armored backpack.” They come in a variety of styles, but you can also get them in the “Disney Princess” and “Avengers” versions.
It’s come to this? Teaching kids how to duck and cover, along with how to read and write? I can only imagine what all parents of young children are going through right now.

No, It’s the Damn Evolutionists!
“We get all up in arms about 20 children being shot in a day care but we don’t give one good-glory rip about the 4,000 that were removed violently from the wombs of their mothers [in abortion procedures] the same day. I believe they use children and Christmas and all that to pull on our heart strings about gun control. That’s what it’s all about.”
– Pastor Sam Morris, of Old Paths Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Tennessee, about the Connecticut massacre.

It’s the Damn Queers and Abortionists, I Tell You!
“Our country really does seem in complete disarray. I’m not talking politically, I’m not talking about the result of the November 6th election. I am saying that something has gone wrong in America and that we have turned our back on God. I mean millions of people have decided that God doesn’t exist, or he’s irrelevant to me and we have killed fifty-four million babies and the institution of marriage is right on the verge of a complete redefinition. Believe me, that is going to have consequences too. And a lot of these things are happening around us, and somebody is going to get mad at me for saying what I am about to say right now, but I am going to give you my honest opinion: I think we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty and I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us. I think that’s what’s going on.”
– James Dobson, founder of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, opining on the Connecticut school shootings.

Finish that Spelling Test, or I’ll Shoot Your Ass!
“You should be able to carry your weapon anywhere in this state.”
– Texas Governor Rick Perry, speaking at a Northeast Tarrant County Tea Party meeting Monday night, the 17th, adding that even teachers and school administrators should be allowed to carry guns in schools, which drew loud applause from the crowd. He made the comment in response to a question about the Connecticut school shootings. To his credit, Perry urged all Texas school districts to review their emergency response plans and emphasized that lawmakers should “consider mental health issues” to make schools safer.

Free Speech – Not Free Guns!
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
– 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Kirk Cameron’s Guide to Manhood
Still trying to stay relevant in post-1980s America, former child star-turned-religious zealot Kirk Cameron has produced a comprehensive guide to helping boys become proper men. This might mean proselytizing about creationism and how women were made from Adam’s rib (e.g. a cheaper cut).

Westboro Scumbags to Picket Sandy Hook

God Could Have Saved the Little Critters, If You’d Invited Him Back!
“You know the question’s gonna come up, where was God? I thought God cared about the little children, God protected the little children. Where was God when all this went down? And here’s the bottom line: God is not gonna go where he’s not wanted. Now we have spent, since 1962, this, we’re 50 years into this now, we have spent 50 years telling God to get lost. Telling God, we do not want you in our schools, we don’t want to pray to you in our schools, we don’t want to pray to you before football games, we don’t want to pray to you at graduation, we don’t want anyone talking about you in a graduation speech. We’ve kicked God out of our public school system. And I think God would say to us, ‘Hey I’ll be glad to protect your children, but you’ve gotta invite me back into your world first. I’m not gonna go where I’m not wanted. I am a gentleman.’”
– Bryan Fischer, of the American Family Association, blaming the Connecticut shootings on the lack of prayer in schools.
