kalikshama -> Bill Maher Performs 'Unbaptism' on Mitt Romney's Dead Father-in-Law (Video) (2/4/2012 5:56:11 PM)

The outspoken atheist took it upon himself to free the late scientist of his posthumous Mormon baptism.

Bill Maher is making waves (and history) after performing the very first "unbaptism" live on HBO.

The outspoken atheist took it upon himself to free the late father of Mitt Romney's wife from his posthumous baptism, in which he was named a member of the Mormon religion.

"In case you didn't hear, it was discovered last week that Edward Davies, Ann Romney's father -- an enthusiastically anti-religious scientist who called organized faith 'hogwash,' was posthumously baptized in the Mormon tradition 14 months after he died," he said on Friday's episode of Real Time With Bill Maher. "They tried to do it sooner, but he wouldn't stop spinning in his grave."

Donning a sorcerer's hat and wielding a magic wand, Maher then produced a black and white photograph of Davies, on which he performed his mystical ritual. The brief ceremony was made complete with references to Laverne and Shirley, Harry Potter and The Blair Witch Project.

Was that the same episode where he said the occupists were a bunch of douchebags?

Tea Party members were the first to use the term "tea bag."

Just the ones who throw chairs through Starbucks windows:

The Occupy Wall Street movement is almost five months old and although some vow not to abandon their posts throughout the country, HBO’s Bill Maher says the protest has ran its course.

On Friday night’s airing of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher likened the Occupy movement to the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, which according to him has gone on too long.

“Let me ask about another occupation because this is, and you would be good on this, too, panel — the Occupy Wall Street,” Maher said. “Because similar to Afghanistan, when you occupy anything too long, people do get pissed off. And as I watch them on the news now, I find myself almost agreeing with Newt Gingrich, like you know what — get a job.”

According to the “Real Time” host, the leftover protesters were the ones that have strayed from the message of the whole Occupy movement.

“Only because the people who originally started, I think they went home, and now, I think it’s these anarchist stragglers,” he continued. “And this is the problem when your movement involves sleeping over in the park. You wind up attracting the people who were sleeping over in the park anyway. And I think that’s where we are now with the Occupy movement. They did a great job of bringing the issue of income inequality to the fore. But now it’s just a bunch of douchebags who think throwing a chair through the Starbucks window is going to bring on the revolution.”

Well thank god for that. Now he can go back to just being dead. I bet that's a load off his shoulders.

Some might argue this is why the LDS have such a vested interest in genealogy websites (to baptise those now long gone).

There is no argument. Baptizing their ancestors into the LDS is the sole reason the church is interested in genealogy.

They won't be after they've eaten a few brains.

They are going to find themselves a mite peckish, perhaps even malnourished, if they chose to victualize our politicians grey matter.
