• Stealing Time: Fred Phelps thinks Santa Claus molests children

Phelps, pastor of Topeka's least popular church, wants his Christmas cheer included in Washington's state capitol next to a nativity scene and an atheist sign.

This is way worse than when KY became the Boulevard. Expect delays on the drive home in the coming weeks -- due, mainly, to multi-car pileups. Why, Entercom, why!?!?! We will investigate. Stay tuned.
