Southern Povery Law Center's newest Intelligence Report (Fall 2005) is on the web, and I always find it a must read. My favorite section is "The Last Word" which always details something so absurd you have to wonder if they made it up.

How can you not patronize a store where where the clerks work so diligently to ensure you get all the latest in biblical interpretation and currency defacement:

"People today misunderstand what slavery was all about," he said. "Slavery is a natural part of man. It explains that in the Bible. And that's what really separated the North from the South, is that the South recognized the Bible as the true word of God when it came to slavery."
