This has to be the greatest practical joke ever played.

Blogs 4 Brownback has a tremendously entertaining post about how heliocentrism (the theory that the earth revolves around the sun) is an atheist doctrine and is, in essence, not true. Quoth the author “Sisyphus”:

I support the Bible, and I don’t want my children learning about Heliocentrism in school. I think this doctrine encourages atheism, Darwinism, and anti-Americanism. I don’t want my tax dollars going to finance this kind of false science. It’s complete rot, and I hope that those of us who come to realize this can ultimately prevail against its propogation amongst OUR children with the money from OUR salaries.

I can’t wait to hear from the moonbats and the Darwinists and the other rubes on this one, though. Go on, witch doctors. Preach to me how the planet hurtles through the ether, Scriptural and physical evidence to the contrary! Your false doctrines will be cast down on the day when America rediscovers its Christian roots. That is a promise.

As of right now, there are 110 comments to Sisyphus’ post, most calling him a loon, moron and fundy Christian freak. The vitriol is strong. But in the end, the critics are all wrong — Sisyphus is a genius.

Not only is this particular post a perfect example of trolling, but his entire blog is. Everything is a mockery of what Brownback — the conservative religious Republican candidate who said he doesn’t believe in evolution, among other things — stands for. Brownback has absolutely no chance of winning anything ever in this political world, and that’s largely because of his completely soft-headed views on major issues. The dude’s out to lunch.

But the beauty is that to the uneducated reader, Blogs 4 Brownback’s satire and sarcasm is missed entirely. Hence, the mockery is taken as actual pro-Brownback editorial, and the intentionally-ironic logic behind the blog succeeds spectacularly.

Bravo Sisyphus. Here’s to a joke well-played.
