Since Congress is preparing to head into its August recess just as soon as this debt ceiling deal wraps up, how are we, the political news consumers, going to get our kicks for the next month? Hmm. Eh, what the hell, let's start talking about the "Ground Zero" "Mosque" again.

A fameball contractor who's leading an effort to boycott construction of the "Ground Zero Mosque" is also participating in a Facebook campaign to boycott Justin Bieber for supporting Park51 in a Tigerbeat interview that was actually a hoax, the end.

Nine years after Sept. 11, 2001, America saw perhaps its worst outbreak of Islamophobia since the attacks.

Park51, the proposed Islamic community center and mosque in downtown Manhattan, has applied for federally-funded grants, prompting shrill cries that the "Ground Zero mosque" is looking for a taxpayer handout.

Indonesia's Istiqlal Mosque must not have a vaguely Muslim-looking headwear requirement, because Barack Obama will actually visit it during his upcoming Asia trip. Politico suggests that this "could stoke the heated confrontation over the Park51 Project," for some reason.

Charles Leaf—the investigative reporter for New York's Fox 5—was arrested for "sexual assault of a minor." Previously, Leaf was known for shoddy work trying to connect the Park 51 project to terrorist groups. Now, he's known for this.

Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry is upping the ante on his as-yet widely unknown campaign against Islam by creating a video instructing Tea Party leaders how to pull their own Koran-tearing stunts and garner media attention.

At least one dingbat in the country is still talking about the proposed Islamic community center blocks from Ground Zero: Renee Elders, Republican congressional candidate from North Carolina. In this ad, she explains the history of "victory mosques."

"One good tactic for speeding up a deal is to show lack of interest in it," writes Donald Trump in Trump: How to Get Rich. Trump ignored our offer Friday to buy his silence. The appropriate response? Press ahead, clearly.

Yesterday Donald Trump offered to buy the site of the proposed "Ground Zero Mosque," thereby ending the "highly divisive situation." To end the highly annoying antics of Donald Trump and his PR minions, we hereby offer to buy his silence.

Pastor Terry Jones has just called off his church's 9/11 Koran-burning event, supposedly after getting the Cordoba Initiative to relocate its Islamic community center away from Ground Zero. Cordoba's Imam Rauf, however, is denying any such deal.

Luther Campbell, of the once-controversial rap group 2 Live Crew, has some deep thoughts on the "Ground Zero Mosque" he would like to share with everyone in his latest Miami New Times column. He even Googled Islam!

Fast Company's Mark Borden tweets this terrifying photo of a rented, decommissioned missile that "Ground Zero" "Mosque" protesters are driving around the proposed Islamic community center site today, and perhaps indefinitely. Take that, "productive interfaith dialogue" prospects!

Senator Orrin Hatch, the conservative Utah Republican, has come out in support of the Park 51 Muslim community center, popularly known as the "Ground Zero Mosque." The best part? He's doing so in stronger terms than anyone besides Mayor Bloomberg:

On Tuesday, New York City Mayor-King Michael Bloomberg passionately defended the downtown Islamic community center that turned into this year's "August Crazy." It was even better than the first speech he gave about the issue. Honest! Here are some highlights:

According to media hardman Michael Wolff, the anti-"Ground Zero Mosque" push from the News Corp-owned New York Post and Fox News is a reflection of the company's internal power struggles. And also, CEO Rupert Murdoch's "primitive, weird, reactionary" racism.

Both supporters and opponents of the "Ground Zero" "Mosque"—a proposed community center—held rallies in lower Manhattan today. Can you guess which side started chanting "no mosque here" at a black guy wandering through the crowd?

Blasting "Born in the USA" over loudspeakers, opponents of the Not At Ground Zero Park51 Community Center took to the streets of Lower Manhattan today to yell at people and wave stupid signs: "Obama, your middle-name is Hussain, we understand."

Missouri Senate candidate Roy Blunt has taken down this web video attacking opponent Robin Carnahan on the "Controversial Ground Zero Mosque" with smoldering World Trade Center destruction imagery. This building in Lower Manhattan is Missouri's top campaign issue, of course.

Pamela Geller, one of the most prominent opponents of the proposed Islamic center near the former World Trade Center, says the treatment of the South Park creators is a factor in her quest to stop the center from being built.
