A Couple of Weird News Items

While cruising the web after two days away, I came across a couple of rather weird news items (h/t Drudge):

• Twin girl singers from Bakersfield who look a lot the Olsen twins, but who sing racist songs extolling white pride. Don't look for them to star in their own sitcom or appear on the Today Show.

  Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.
  
  "We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. (I'll go out on a limb here and predict that they'll probably stay white. I don't see them changing colors anytime soon-HC.) "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."

• Novelist Anne Rice, who normally writes novels full of vampires and other dark topics, has found Christ and vows to write only for Him. I hope it's true and not another short-term conversion ala Bob Dylan or Jane Fonda.

• Howard Dean said something stupid. (That's not really weird...it's to be expected. Howard, however, is weird.)
  

That's what I get for staying away from the internet for a couple of days.
