In 2003, Showtime's Penn & Teller program with a name not appropriate above the fold -- unless, of course, you're a member of the Netroots! -- marvelously exposed what's behind the global warming and environmental hysteria in America today. The videos have just come available on YouTube. In part one (embedded right), the comedy team accurately depicted environmentalists as political and social activists who use green rhetoric to "cloak agendas that actually have more to do with anti-corporatism, anti-globalization, anti-business, and very little to do with science and ecology." Exactly. Parts two and three are embedded below the fold with...

Tonight's episode is about gun control. 10PM eastern on Showtime (repeats at various times over the next week). From the video preview, Penn: a .44 slug in the brain stops rape in an instant. That sets the tone for the show. Make sure the kids aren't around, the language is R-Rated.

The obscene assault on Mother Teresa, her Missionaries of Charity and the Catholic Church was arguably the most vicious anti-Catholic fare ever shown on television in the United States. An excerpt of this show was sent to 350...

Political sleight of hand -- it's no magic "People have been wondering whether a word from my discipline — ''misdirection'' — can be applied to another world altogether: the world of politics." By PENN JILLETTE I've been a professional magician for 28 years. I'm not the best magician in the world or even the best magician in Penn & Teller. Those "bests" are the same guy, my partner, Teller. He knows his magic -- he can lie, cheat and steal on stage better than anyone I've ever known or heard about. But I'm the theoretician. So I'm going to try...
