From a blogger's exposé of the political themes propagated by the "Left Behind" series.

I love Slacktivist's analysis of the Left Behind books (or "Sinister Buttock", as some smart-alecs call them).

I just found it, via Wikipedia. How have you known about it all along?

I don't really remember. It must have been linked from something else I was reading – I'm guessing probably Making Light, BoingBoing, Bitch Ph.D., or one of the people on my LiveJournal friendslist.

What I wouldn't give for a "now where did I read that?" button on my keyboard...

Ah, found it. It was on Making Light (one of my favorite online places), in the thread "From correspondence".

The first occurence of the term, in the context of "the No Child Sinister Buttock Act" (heh); the first mention of Slacktivist's analysis.

How odd. I just watched the movie yesterday:

Thanks, Lex and thisname for the tips!

.. but you failed to clip the best: the Israel attacking tanks from the west!
But thanks for showing me this site!

Indeed, the incompetence story was another thread that I longed to take up - that was amazing! But I figured I'd better stay with the political theme of it for now, for clarity's sake. You're welcome, and thanks for mentioning it!
