Stephen Colbert had some fun words for Texas Gov. Rick Perry — is it just the twangy God talk, or is he physically morphing into his predecessor George W. Bush, too? — on his Comedy Central show a few days ago, regarding his controversial upcoming prayer rally and possible presidential bid:

If you’re still in need of some guilty chuckles after that, here’s a few more politically incorrect religion news stories:
- Spanish priest seeks to prove he’s not gay (Huffington Post)
- Lesbian couple ejected from Gertrude Stein exhibit (JTA)
- Hindu diners sue Indian restaurant for selling meat samosas (CNN Belief)
(Caveat: The funny part of the last story isn’t that the restaurant accidentally served meat to devoted vegetarians a few years ago, but that the victims are demanding a big trip to India out of it — where, presumably, they can visit family and friends in between all the ritual purifying they claim they must do there, as opposed to at an American temple. Maybe they can get some first-class tickets while they’re at it!)
