This is great stuff... Claims of crying statues and the image of
the Virgin Mary in a tortilla (and the like) do a great deal of

Soft "news" reports run regularly here about weeping icons. Many,
many people in Arizona are totally ignorant of the fallacious
nature of the claims.
Randi et. al. have been systematically debunking religious miracles
for decades, but for some reason this rarely makes the news.
Perhaps for the same reason that the Bushies hated the Clintonians so
much: dumb people HATE people who are demonstrably smarter than than
they are.
