Oh, Jesus Christ

So PZ Myers wrote a blog post about a student who "stole" a communion wafer, which has Bill Donohue and his right-wing nutso Catholic organization up in arms, and in this post PZ asked for readers to send *him* communion wafers so that he could desecreate them and post photos of said blasphemy on the internet.

Needless to say, this freaked out Donohue even more, and he's put his followers onto a campaign to bitch at the president of the University of Minnesota. The grounds? Get this--it's hilariously weak:

“The Myers blog can be accessed from the university’s website. The university has a policy statement on this issue which says that the ‘Contents of all electronic pages must be consistent with University of Minnesota policies, local, state and federal laws.’ One of the school’s policies, ‘Code of Conduct,’ says that ‘When dealing with others,’ faculty et al. must be ‘respectful, fair and civil.’

Dudes, you can access *any page on the internet* from the University's website, one way or another. If that's the best you've got, say a couple of Hail Marys and move on.

But of course, Donohue's not going to do that, and so a bunch of irate Catholics have been writing pissy hate mail to PZ and the U Minn president and complaining about how PZ is oppressing them (bonus hilarity: apparently there's now some folks claiming that PZ constitutes a threat to the upcoming Republican convention in Minneapolis!). PZ, who doesn't back down from a fight despite being a mild-mannered Minnesotan (no, really), says, okay, fine, and asks his readers to write the U Minn president themselves. Politely, etc.

Which I did, and I urge you guys to do so as well. Or at least to go do a li'l rubbernecking and enjoy the hilarity. Sometimes you have to just love, love, love the internets.
