And today's Non Compos Mentis award goes to... Jim Rutz, "chairman of Megashift Ministries and founder-chairman of Open Church Ministries."
In a story posted today by WorldNetDaily and promptly commented on by a zillion bloggers, he blames soy for everything from homosexuality and smaller penises to early menstruation.
Why? Because "soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore."
He's onto something... sort of. There's actually a real controversy over the healthfulness of soy (Wikipedia has a good rundown, and a BBC story looks at another angle here).
But if hysteria is a sign of femininity – and it's fair to assume Rutz believes it is – then I wonder exactly how much soy he's been eating lately. The poor man is clearly having a case of the vapors.
