Surreal headlines for weird times

People as a competetive weapon, milk as a WMD, worship as "higher politics", and there's "no such thing as experienced suicide bomber" - surreal headlines for weird times, all of them found by the same Google news search.

Sighted a staggering attack on non-violence: "Peaceniks are covering our kids from head to toe in emotional bubble wrap. They are creating a nation of namby-pambies" - because "beneath all the fuzzy-wuzzy, touchy-feely jargon is a clear pacifist agenda". A "conservative christian" message of support for violence, (lower politics without the worship?), to defeat any notions of "therapy and understanding over vigorous self-defense".

Lower politicing too in the SMH: offering disdain for reality in lauding "the completeness of [Howard's] ideological victory":

"The unions will march in the streets, but people marched before the invasion of Iraq. The unions will fail partly because there's not enough of them any more and partly because union types shouting 'What do we want?' just don't cut it in a celebrity culture. Nor do the things they stand for. We're all in it for ourselves now, stupid."

Celebrity culture? Stupid? A convincing portrayal of the delusions, insults, and hubris that makes a conservative feel good about their inhumanity, like those American "christians" content to contradict the pacifist messages of the gospels when a macho attitude makes them more popular. The Right isn't inherently ideologically correct, it just has a larger willingness and capacity to deceive and destroy contrary voices.
