New York Times – Conservatives Pick Soft Target: A Cartoon Sponge
Hooray for James C. Dobson.
UPDATE – Meet a fan of Mr Dobson.
UPDATE – My, my, my… what a lovely man he is.
Some Bush Supporters Say They Anticipate a ‘Revolution’: Dr. James C. Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family and an influential evangelical Protestant, said he had issued a warning to a “White House operative” who called yesterday morning to thank him for his help. Dr. Dobson said he told the caller that many Christians believed the country “on the verge of self-destruction” as it abandoned traditional family roles. He argued that “through prayer and the involvement of millions of evangelicals, and mainline Protestants and Catholics, God has given us a reprieve.”… “But I believe it is a short reprieve,” he continued, adding that conservatives now had four years to pass an amendment banning same-sex marriage, to stop abortion and embryonic stem-cell research, and most of all to remake the Supreme Court. “I believe that the Bush administration now needs to be more aggressive in pursuing those values, and if they don’t do it I believe they will pay a price in four years,” he said.
UPDATE – Let the word go out from this day forward:

I think they’ve got a point. I mean, who of us hasn’t wanted to go out and have hot, sweaty bumsex with a male starfish after watching Spongebob Squarepants? I know I have.
