So, what of this Operation Start Up Tour? Well, any entertainment troupe who counts Stephen Baldwin amongst its most important members has class and legitimacy written all over it.

What's that? The care packages were to include, "pocket-sized editions of the New Testament, evangelical DVDs and books, baby wipes and phone cards." Oh. I guess the case could be made that this group really is trying to exert their beliefs on others.

I also heard a rumor that the baby wipes were soaked with the tears of prisoners from Gitmo and that the phone cards could only call the Colorado Springs, CO, area code.

Another take on it
