Last fall, extremist mustache enthusiast Pastor Terry Jones, who really put the idiot into ideologue, did his best to stir up national attention and controversy on the heels of the "Ground Zero Mosque" debate by threatening to burn the Koran. After he placed his tail between his legs, lost the majority of his congregation, and collected a free car, we thought we'd heard the last of this silly, pretty pathetic human being. But he just couldn't let go of the media spotlight, and after a dormant period, he finally burned a copy of the Koran. And now, several UN workers are dead as a result.

Sadly, neither Sheen nor his rapidly dwindling fanbase forgot, and last night was the first stop of Sheen's "Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option" traveling show in Detroit. And as you can imagine, everyone had an excellent, life-affirming absolutely miserable experience....
