Dream on.

I wonder if they will call their museum a church to deprive the District Of Columbia of any tax revenues that support schools.

Can’t speak for the others, but I found the International Spy Museum pretty interesting … Just sayin’

It’s pretty unpopulated all the time but I believe there is a Titanic Memorial over there somewhere. There’s that…

Oh, you mean like Pam Geller’s LIE about the “Ground Zero Mosque”?

I so wanted to post the scene from Firefly’s “Jayne’s Town” episode where River fixes the Bible, but sadly, I couldn’t find it on youtube. This is the closet I could get (the dialogue)

NASA Administrative building. Is there a Potbelly’s at least?

lizabeth · June 30, 2015, 5:49pm

430,000 square feet? Sounds more like their secret lair for world domination than a museum.

True, we will never be short on our supply of cretins. I’m just saying that the numbers of “Christians” aren’t increasing exponentially.

I LOVE dancing bears. But, only if they want to not if someone has to make them do it.

So answer me this: if humans and dinosaurs supposedly roamed together, why are dinosaurs never mentioned in the Bible? Where are the dinosaurs in the story of Noah’s Ark?

Also, there are some 10,000 varieties of cockroaches. Does the Bible explain how Noah managed to preserve every single variation? Or did he just keep two cockroaches that then reproduced and EVOLVED into the 10,000 species we see today?

Inquiring minds want to know.

So, will they pay taxes?

The eight-story, 430,000-square-foot Museum of the Bible… its 2017 opening…three blocks from the U.S. Capitol

alliebean · June 30, 2015, 6:09pm

Oh, okay, gotcha. I only know of the Potbelly’s in L’Enfant Plaza, but I haven’t lived there in a few years… ;-D

Wonder how many members of the Green family are either gay or a sexual pervert?

chicagopov · June 30, 2015, 6:19pm

Please fix the headline. Misleading and goofy headlines are for Huffington Post, not TPM.

Sometimes I wish that some hacker group like Anonymous or an Edward Snowden type went after these Capitalistic pigs, CEOs, Corporatists, Oligarchs of the New Gilded Age, and Megalomaniacs of Greed and exposed them for who they really are…the fucking hypocrites we all know them to be. Just once…

They have so much more power than the government in this day and age anyway.

srfromgr · June 30, 2015, 6:39pm

Ouch. That’s about as close to Jesus Christ on a cracker the RWNJs are likely to get to the real thing.

emjayay · June 30, 2015, 6:40pm

It is in a nothing area, but it is only 2 blocks south of the Smithsonian Air & Space and the Museum of the American Indian. I’m sure a certain number of fundamentalist families will make the detour, but it is competing with all the free Smithsonians. I’d go if it was free, although of course the Creation Museum and Noah’s Ark sound like a lot more fun.

emjayay · June 30, 2015, 6:42pm

Although the complete mess of this comment system has been mostly cleaned up, it still repeats what I am writing except in a slightly larger and a little different typeface over there on the right for no reason whatsoever.

Time to remove the last bit of absurdity it took all those months to create.
