It only gets better. From Stars and Stripes, via The Washington Post, thanks to Nonplussed, comes the news that the GIs with whom George Bush ate the bird were handpicked by their superior officers. Possibly for their rebellious attitudes.
The Bright and Shiny cult in Bubble Boy is a satire of the Brianist movement (www.brianism.org). Brigt and Shiny ate the first three words in the Book of Brian. Many skeptics, like James Randi and Michael Shermer now call themselves "Brights" and the Bright and Shiny song (with different words) is now a bit of a skeptic anthem.
