The manhunt for the polygamist, Fundementalist Latter Day Saints leader Warren Steed Jeffs ended Monday night in Las Vegas when he was arrested outside the city on a routine traffic stop. (It's the small shit that gets you, Warren. You've got to remember that, 'kay?).
Jeffs is charged with arranging marriages between underaged girls and older men. Makes me ask, "Warren, ever thought of creating NAMGLA- North American Man-Girl Love Association- you know, just like NAMBLA, only substitute 'girl' for 'boy'. At least it's heterosexual in nature if nothing else. (I've Googled 'North American Man-Girl Love Association, and 'NAMGLA'. No such animals- as far as I know- exists. Perhaps Warren Jeffs can confirm that an group called NAMGLA exists...I don't know...).
And now, many of his followers in Colorado City, Arizona and Hildale, Colorado (I had erroneously mentioned that the city was located in Utah) are going at great lengths to protect this bozo, preventing the media from interviewing them (those who think that he's a whack job did say that he's glad that he was captured, so there's hope for these folks after all). Apparently, they're now fasting over his arrest, and his 'persecution' (this is where I roll back my head and laugh uproariously! HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) because, to them, he is still their prophet. And since they're keeping the media at bay, I must say that this group, the Fundementalist Latter Day Saints, must be more sinister and evil (and I must say presumably racist. I did hear excerpts of a speech from Jeffs about a person who is black being, well, less than a saint of God...or did he mean that the person had bad hygiene? Help me out, Elder Prophet Jeffs!) than we in the 'corrupt' outside world realize.
Now, what if, say, a radical version of the Southern Baptists did this? Sure, you wouldn't have the polygamy; but I'm thinking that it'll resemble the South of the 1950s, where the black folks stay on one side of the fence, the white folks on the other. (Latinos, Asians; Arabs and native Americans need not apply). How would this reflect on the Southern Baptist Convention?
The same thing goes with the Mormons. Now, admittedly, I don't think too much of the Mormons (or for that matter, the Southern Baptists- even though officially, I am one). The FLDS are pretty much giving the Mormons a black eye, even though the Mormons themselves have long disassociated themselves from the FLDS.
I hope that Jeffs gets the maximum penalty allowed by law- and that the authorities take over Colorado City and Hildale (that is, if the residents of those two cities don't do a Waco, Texas- Jim Jones/ David Koresh style barbeque first).

Katrina- One Year Later: Chapter Two
I'm watching live footage from the CBS station in New Orleans, WWL-TV, Channel 4. At this moment, they're ringing what is called the 'Katrina Bell' at the main Roman Catholic Church in the city, St. Louis Cathedral, on Jackson Square (Chartres and St. Ann Streets. The spot in front of St. Louis Cathedral has a mark bearing the late Pope John Paul II's visit almost 20 years ago).
Bells are tolling all over the metro area, commemorating the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's path of destruction and death.
The bell tolling, I think I can understand. After all, this was the worst natural disaster- thus far- to strike the US. But after all the bell tolling, and the mourning- some which will go on forever- the people of New Orleans must move on, and rebuild. Be stronger than before Katrina hit, lest they fall again.
I recall a year ago, as I watched safely in the confines of Portland, Oregon, I wrote in a journal entry- I believe that I still have that journal- that Katrina, as a Category 5 hurricane, could completely level the city. Although she came in as a slightly less damaging, but no less dangerous Category 3, Katrina did indeed level a good part of the city, and left a good number of people in desolation. But as I look back at this on this the first anniversary, it is my belief that if a disaster the magnitude of Katrina could destroy a city, imagine Portland being struck by, say, a magnitude of, say 6 (on the Ricther Scale) earthquake. Or even the 'Big One' that may strike Los Angeles (yes, I'll be in the City of Angels when- and if- it happens...).
No one knows when the next big disaster will strike. It could be in a minute; the next day. The next year, even. All we can do is be better prepared, not complacent.
The folks in New Orleans, those who stayed because they've ridden out many tropical storms and hurricanes before, or because they had no way of getting out (I blame political incompetence here, but that's another subject fore another day), probably felt like, "hey, this Katrina bitch is just another storm." Of course, some are now asking, "where was Nash Roberts where we needed him?" (Nash Roberts, 88, is a retired WWL-TV meteorologist. He had a uncanny ability to predict how dangerous the storm would be. All he needed was a magic marker and paper. No glitzy computer graphic mumbo-jumbo. Thankfully, he and his wife made it through Katrina. They were evacuated).
Let us not forget the 1800 victims of Katrina's wrath. And let us move on, rebuild, and continue to live.

Katrina- One Year Later
Today is the first anniversary of the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina.
On August 29, 2005, three levees- the 17th St. Canal near Metairie; the Industrial Canal in the Lower Ninth Ward; and the London Canal were breached by Katrina, which blew through the Gulf (of Mexico) as a Category 3 hurricane. You already know of the horror of seeing houses underwater, and folks- many of them black and poor- screaming for help. The Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula area wasn't spared either, as at least one town was completely destroyed by Katrina. Over 1800 souls were lost throughout the Gulf region.
There are the arguments over whether New Orleans should be rebuilt or not. Some say that New Orleans is a integral part of American history, as it is the birth place of jazz, not to mention the fact that it had survived other major hurricanes before Katrina (Betsy in 1965; Camille in 1969). Others say that rebuilding on land that is a dozen feet below sea level is foolish, and the land that was- and in many parts of what was once the Lower Ninth Ward, still is- damaged would be best left off returning to wetland. Those who support rebuilding say that it'll bring back a sense of community, and no Halliburton corporate type is gonna take it over and turn it into the equivalent of, say Miami Beach (or even Portland, Oregon's Pearl District and San Francisco's SoMa). Those who are against it say that the government shouldn't dump billions of dollars into rebuilding, that the job is best left to private developers.
However you want to look at it, we all can agree that New Orleans is part of Americana, and if we were to lose it altogether, we lose part of America. And if we lose one part of America, what's not to say that other parts will die come the next major disaster or terrorist attack.

Did He Kill JonBenet?- Chapter Three: HELL, NO!
The final chapter on John Mark Karr, the suspect in JonBenet Ramsey's murder, has been closed.
The verdict: He didn't do it!
The DNA taken from him did not match that found on Jonbenet's underwear, which means Mr. Karr is pretty much a free man- unless, of course, the authorities decide to take him to the loony bin (there is that thing about his having a thing for little children).
Sounds to me that Karr's confession a couple weeks ago was coerced, and if it so happens that it was, I'd sue the ass off of those interrogators. The Thai authorities; the FBI if they were involved, and just about everypone else who had a hand in framing a man now considered innocent.
Now, I have a question for the Thai authorities. Why didn't you just come out and say that you arrested Karr for having a young girl on his lap at a school? And why didn't they tell the truth, that he was under surveillance and suspicion of being a pedophile in Thailand?
And I have to kind of feel sorry for Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy, who wanted this to be a slam dunk. At the same time, I- like everyone else around America- must hold her feet to the fire. After all, in a rush for justice, the bitch just got in over her head. I'm sure that the voters of Boulder County will give her a thank you note come time for her re-election campaign.

Buh-Bye, Tom: Paramount Cuts Ties With Tom Cruise
Oh, Tom.
Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, TOM!
WHat have we brought forth this time?
The misadventures of one Thomas Cruise Mapother IV continues as the 94-year-old motion picture powerhouse Paramount Pictures Corporation decided that dealing with one 44-year-old Scientologist, who allegedly has a daughter named Surly, er, Suri by Katie Holmes, was a bit too much of a Mission: Impossible.
Admittedly, the 14 year relationship between Paramount and Cruise/Wagner Productions (with producing partner Paula Wagner) was a pretty good one. But like all relationships, this one had to end- in this case, by divorce. It could have been his off screen behavior that was the last straw for Paramount, or the fact that Paramount's gotten sick of those crazy Scientologists. I don't know. But you have to admit that Mr. Cruise's career has been headed south of the border (of A-list) lately (Mission: Impossible III- as much as I personally liked it- pretty much tanked at the box office). Paramount has slashed financial support for Cruise/Wagner Productions, and that the public pretty much hates him (so does Oprah, by the way. Remember that couch jumping incident last year? Ewww!)
Whatever the reasons, it looks like ol' Tommy's a free agent again. His star power hasn't yet diminished to the point that he has to start starring in and producing B-movies- hell, he can star in and produce a few TV series if he wants- but he's not as popular as he once was.
If I were him, I'd seriously reconsider staying in Scientology. That seems to be a deal breaker for him as of late.

Did He Kill JonBenet- Chapter Two: My Romance with JonBenet
Today, in Los Angeles, John Paul Karr, the 41-year-old suspect in the murder of little six-year-old beauty JonBenet Patricia Ramsey, waived extradition, which means that this spineless feck is headed back to Boulder, Colorado to face charges on first degree murder, felony murder, first degree kidnapping; and sexual assualt on a child.
Now, comes word that Mr. Karr may have had a sexual fixation on JonBenet. In fact, he had sexual fixations on children for quite sometime. In 2001, he was arrested on charges of possessing child pornography. Karr said that he had sex with JonBenet, and accidentally killed her as he violated her. Sick either way, if you ask me.
Of course, the DNA results will ultimately tell whether the DNA found in JonBenet's panties belongs to Karr- or not. If so, case obviously closed (Karr is apparently at peace with his fate). If not, well, at least the authorities did get some mental case off the street.
Also go to http://www.kusa.com for the latest on the JonBenet Ramsey murder case. Also, go to http://www.thesmokinggun.com to see documents on the murder. The arrest warrant should be unsealed any day now. I'll have the link here.

I'd Keep the Second Phallus
India man with two penises to undergo surgery from PhysOrg.com
An Indian man born with two penises wants to get one of them removed so that he can marry, a report said Saturday.
[...]
Yes, the above story is from Physorg.com. I didn't quite believe this when I heard this story this morning on The Stephanie Miller Show, but when I Googled this story and went to the website, I was thinking, "Dude, keep the second dick!"
Come on, peeps! I would kill to have a second dick. Just look at the things I could do with it! Talk about a pretty good chance of having many a menage a trois setting here. And if one dick doesn't work, the other will. Having a back up, to be quite honest, is a very good thing indeed. Man, who needs fucking Viagra (or Cialis, or Levitra) when you have that second cock (of course, if neither rises with the sun, then any of the three can come in handy. Just know that you'll have twice the hard-on...).
Not to mention that I can fuck two women at once- or if my woman likes it in the ass- and I've met women like this (hey, anal sex isn't just for gay men, you know...)- one dick can sidle its' way into that poop chute, the other in the kitty. I know it may take a bit of coordination there, but, man, once I get the hang of it, the wonders I can perform.
In all seriousness- if you can call it that- the condition called diphallus, or penile duplication, and (unfortunately) it's an extremely rare condition- it's found in one in 5.5 million men (why couldn't I be one of those lucky few?), and only 100 cases have been reported since 1609- almost 400 FUCKING YEARS AGO?!!! DAMN!
My advice to him- KEEP THE SECOND COCK, MAN! DON'T CASTRATE IT! Just think of the possibilities, dude! Adult film producers in Van Nuys, California, if they're looking at this story, are probably salivating over this and are looking for this young man as I write this!
That second cock can make you, my east Indian friend, very, very, VERY(!) rich.

Did He Kill JonBenet?
As the world knows by now, John Paul Karr, a schoolteacher, has been charged with the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. The little beauty queen was killed then years ago this Christmas, and her parents, Jon and his late wife Patsy, were for a time charged with killing her.
Karr confessed that he had "accidentally" killed JonBenet, and even sexually assaulted her. But a lot of questions are being raised on whether this rush to justice may have resulted in capturing the wrong person.
Like Christmas Day 1996, for example. As we know, JonBenet was killed the day after. Fingernail fragments were found, and obviously other evidence was found. Unless DNA evidence links Karr to the murder, and unless his semen was found in the area on JonBenet's underwear, then it looks like the case goes back to where it started- zilch. And another thing, Karr's then-wife said that he was in Alabama at the time of the killing.
Like everyone else, I too was caught up in the fervor that they have caught the killer of JonBenet Ramsey. But now, I'm sort of at a crossroads here. I must give Mr. Karr the benefit of the doubt here, yet I must also prepare for the possibility that they may have railroaded an innocent man. And another botch-up is not what Boulder County District Attorney Mary Lacy wants

Clash of the Titans
You guys are supposed to be scrapping with the New Orleans Saints players- not among yourselves!
Tennessee Titans running back LenDale White, the rookie from USC, got into a scuffle with fellow player, safety Donnie Nickey. As you watch the video, you can see that LenDale was shoved from behind. And apparently, LenDale doesn't take it very well.
The Saints are at Nashville, playing as I write this.

The Pedophile Politicians
The Brotherly Love, Freedom, and Diversity Party is a political party in the Netherlands. (Their Dutch initials are PNVD and translated in Dutch is De de Brodederlijke Lifde, de Vrijheid, en Partij van de Diverisiteit) .
This party advocates lowering the age of consent from 16 to 12, and also for the legalization of hard drugs and bestiality.
On July 17, a Dutch court refused to ban the self-confessed group of pedophiles from forming a political party- hence, the named (for the Dutch court's explanation, go to http://www.government.nl/actueel/nieuwsarchief/2006/07July/24/pnvd.jsp. Also take a look at http://www.government.nl/actueel/0-42-1_42-81930.jsp ). The court says that it will closely monitor the group.
The group is seeking 60,000 votes to win a seat in the Dutch Parliament- though it's likely that they'll get only 1,000 (after all, many pedophiles prefer anonymity). But in the off chance that they do get those 60,000 votes and win that seat in Parliament, this could set off a troubling precedent, in my opinion. This could mean that NAMBLA- the North American Man-Boy Love Association- could be free to form their own little political party (at least when the next Democrat reaches the Oval Office...After all, the Dems are accused of being a bit too liberal themselves...my party is definitely leaving me...), and every law that protects children- every Jessica's Law; every Megan's Law- could be ruled unconstitutional (with the help of our friends in the American Civil Liberties Union, of course...they have their usefulness sometimes, but much of the times, they don't). I don't mean to spread fear or anything, but I see a potentially troubling tide up ahead. After all, even if the NVPD doesn't get those votes to win a seat this time, in due time, they'll come up with something clever enough to lull everyone into their way of thinking. And then after that, NAMBLA may try the same tactics here.
America, this is a risk we cannot afford to take.

Mike Douglas- An Appreciation
Mike Douglas, the very affable talk show host, who inspired many more- among others Tony Danza (who substituted for Douglas for a week), and Rosie O'Donnell, died today, on his 81st birthday.
The man born Michael Dowd (in Chicago) entertained millions with his daily show, The Mike Douglas Show. The show itself started out in Cleveland, on ther NBC affiliate WKYC in 1961 (go to http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=55478 ), then moved to Philadelphia in 1965. The show would typically air 90 minutes, and was live until 1965- when Zsa Zsa Gabor said one of George Carlin's Seven Words You (Previously) Couldn't Say On TV (that list has since dwindled down). At it's peak, it was seen in 230 cities.
He began his career as a singer for Kay Keyser, crooning to a largely female audience, and was also the singing voice for Prince Charming in Walt Disney's 1951 animated film Cinderella
Douglas' style was non-combative, with witty mix of talk and humor. One of the show's signatures was the weekly co-host. Another was his singing during the opening of his show (he wasn't that bad of a singer, in fact. After all, he did have one Top 40 hit, The Men in My Girl's Life 40 years ago). Douglas had on numerous co-hosts, namely Jackie Gleason- a frequent co-host and best buddy; Bob Hope; and others. He had then-little known comics David Letterman and Jay Leno on his show. Sports figures such as Muhammad Ali- and a then two-year-old golf prodigy named Eldon "Tiger" Woods. Politicians who would become president- namely Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. The guest list was eclectic and very diverse.
There were, of course, outrageous moments, namely the week John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono co-hosted- the couple would bring some...I think, Buddhist musicians with them (the Lennons were heavily into the Buddhism at the time). And, of course, that aforementioned Zsa Zsa cussfest.
He wrote two memoirs, Mike Douglas: My Story (1978), and I'll Be Right Back (1999)
Douglas died this morning at around 5:30AM (2:30AM Pacific Time) at a West Palm Beach hospital, with his childhood sweetheart, and wife of 62 years, Genevieve at his side

It's been years since I've watched his show. Of course, I was a child back then, in the 1970s and most of the 1980s. My first stepdad, Joe, wasn't that fond of the guy, but I would find Mike pretty entertaining. The thing that would stand out for me, of course, was that he would often go on location, to say, Miami Beach (before South Beach became the hottest thing in Florida), yukking up with Jackie Gleason, and his praise for Philadelphia- especially in 1976, when this country was celebrating its' bicentennial. And that darned theme song...it rings in my head as I write this.

Another was his singing during the opening of his show (he wasn't that bad of a singer, in fact. After all, he did have one Top 40 hit, The Men in My Girl's Life 40 years ago). Douglas had on numerous co-hosts, namely Jackie Gleason- a frequent co-host and best buddy; Bob Hope; and others. He had then-little known comics David Letterman and Jay Leno on his show. Sports figures such as Muhammad Ali- and a then two-year-old golf prodigy named Eldon "Tiger" Woods. Politicians who would become president- namely Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. The guest list was eclectic and very diverse.
There were, of course, outrageous moments, namely the week John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono co-hosted- the couple would bring some...I think, Buddhist musicians with them (the Lennons were heavily into the Buddhism at the time). And, of course, that aforementioned Zsa Zsa cussfest.
He wrote two memoirs, Mike Douglas: My Story (1978), and I'll Be Right Back (1999)
Douglas died this morning at around 5:30AM (2:30AM Pacific Time) at a West Palm Beach hospital, with his childhood sweetheart, and wife of 62 years, Genevieve at his side

It's been years since I've watched his show. Of course, I was a child back then, in the 1970s and most of the 1980s. My first stepdad, Joe, wasn't that fond of the guy, but I would find Mike pretty entertaining. The thing that would stand out for me, of course, was that he would often go on location, to say, Miami Beach (before South Beach became the hottest thing in Florida), yukking up with Jackie Gleason, and his praise for Philadelphia- especially in 1976, when this country was celebrating its' bicentennial. And that darned theme song...it rings in my head as I write this.

Maurice Clarett Arrested- AGAIN!
Remember the 2002...was it the Orange Bowl...I think it was, when Ohio State won in dramatic fashion 34-31 over the Miami Hurricanes? Maurice Clarett was one of those stars who helped the Buckeyes win the National Championship- and go 14-0.
Flash forward to a few months...or a year, give or take, when Maurice Clarett tried to get into the NFL- and failed.
Apparently he took it so hard , that he robbed a couple of guys in late 2005. (See this story at http://www.nbc4i.com/news/5773102/detail.html) .
Well, Clarett fans, I regret to have to tell you that he's been arrested again- this time for having tons of weapons and drinking inside his SUV.
I must ask, MAN, WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
He could have been a big star in the NFL, playing for the Denver Broncos. He could have enjoyed all of those millions in endorsements, and yes, having tons of women at his disposal.
But, Noooooooooooo! He had to fuck it all up by being a thug! Robbiing people by gunpoint, and now speeding, having weapons and booze. Not to mention acting like a DAMN FOOL! What a goddamned waste, if you ask me.
I could go into this lecture about money not always buying happiness, but I'm too busy working my way up to financial wealth. If there's a lesson to be learned from this, it's that there are folks who enjoy their fame and fortune responsibly, and remain down to earth. And then there are those jackasses who abuse their lives of privilege, only to lose it all in the end- some of them are no longer living, in fact.
I'd like to close out with the scene from On The Waterfront, from 1954. Terry, played the the late, great Marlon Brando, talks with his brother, Charlie.
TERRY
It wasn't him, Charlie. It was you. Rememeber that nightin the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said,
"Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson."
You remember that? "This ain't your night...."
CHARLIE
Oh, I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.
TERRY
You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender.
I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am,
let's face it. It was you, Charlie.
That, my friends, is probably how Maurice Clarett feels right now. Like a bum.
In other words, a talented life going to waste.

The Fall of the, er, Titans- McKinney and Leiberman Lose in Primaries
Hi, Darren here. Politics sometimes piss me off, but still, I vote for politicians who I believe are best for the job. Sometimes I celebrate my decisions, other times, I regret it. But, still, I exercise my right- and constitutional duty!- to vote. Otherwise, I have no right to bitch when things go wrong. Having said this, last night, two incumbents lost in key primaries. In the State of Georgia, Cynthia McKinney lost to Hank Johnson for her seat in Georgia's 4th Congressional District, while longtime US Senator, Joe Leiberman, D-Connecticut, lost in that state's primamry to an anti-war candidate, Ned Lamont. Will this be the death of the Democratic party, at least in Connecticut? I fear to tread there, kids.
Cynthia McKinney: Bitter to the End
America, I have to tell you something.
Myself being African-American, I'll admit that sometimes we black folks do what we can to frustrate the rest of you. After all, some of us haven't gotten over the slavery bit; and others of us tend to play victim. Yes, I and countless other of blacks have been guilty of playing the 'race card' and victim, but that's because we've been paying too much attention to the Jesse Jacksons; Al Sharptons; and Louis Farrakhans. Of course, I can't speak for all blacks here, and personally, I myself am remedying myself from playing the race card and victim consciousness.
Having said this, let's go to one of our other favorite race baiters, one Cynthia Ann McKinney, the Democratic representative from the 4th Congressional District of the Great Peach state of Georgia. As we know, Ms. McKinney lost last night to fellow African-American hank Johnson, an attorney and former DeKalb County commissioner. He will face off against Republican- and yes, she's black!- Catherine Davis in the November election. This will be interesting. But back to Ms. McKinney, as we all know, she's a bitter bitch who cries everytime a hair gets out of place. Okay, so I'm speaking figuratively here, but that US Capitol debacle from several months ago (where she decked a US Capitol police officer after being told three times to halt at a security checkpoint) and other shennanigans convinced voters that giving her a second chance was a BIG MISTAKE!
In last night's concession speech, she blamed the voter machines and the media for her loss. Sounds like typical Cynthia McKinney to me. On top of that, she hired Black Panthers for security (apparently, the Secret Service were a bit TOO pissed to protect her). Sounds like a sore loser to me.
And Cyndi, maybe you may want to give up the "American Idol" audition. (See this hilarious attempt at http://www.wsbtv.com/video/9651508/index.html). It's right before her solioquy she calls a concession speech. Her singing might just go up there in hilarity- along with Howard Dean's "Yeah!" screech from January 2004.
Joe Lieberman- Too Damn Conservative For His Good!
In Connecticut, three term US Senator Joe Leiberman found out that job security wasn't guaranteed when he lost to Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont. Leiberman has been under attack for his support for the War on Terrorism, and for siding with President Bush on many issues. Lamont says that staying the course in Iraq is not a winning strategy, and that it's time to bring the troops home. (See the full speech at the WFSB-TV website, http://www/wfsb.com/politics/9651285/detail.html ).
But, don't count Leiberman out yet. He's filing paperwork to run as an Independent. In other words, "no hippy-dippy liberal businessman gonna take my seat. Over my dead body!" (You can also see Leiberman's concession speech at http://www.wfsb.com/politics/9651206/detail.html . In addition, you can get the whole story at http://www.wfsb.com/politics/9650660/detail.html ).
Lamont kind of troubles me here. He says that our troops need to be out of Iraq and the Middle East. But with Iran stirring up the shit soup, I don't think that's such a good idea- especially when Iran's president/dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying that on August 22, 2006, Iran's going to do something. Now what that something, that's under speculation. But according to the Wall Street Journal's Bernard Lewis, it could be a nuclear Armaggedon for Israel, and the good ol' US of A. (see the story at The Guardian, at http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/brian_whitaker/2006/08/world_to_end_on_august_22.html)
And the senator wannabe wants us to cut-and-run. Let's pray that Joe Leiberman- as an Independent- wins re-election in November.

Aren't We Getting a Bit TOO Ridiculous Here?
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was the number one movie this past weekend, taking in about $47 Million in box office receipts. The comedy is about a NASCAR driver, played by SNL alum Will Ferrell (who also co-wrote with Adam McKay) whose dominance has been challenged by a Formula One racer.
The fact that the film was number one is apparently lost on the folks of movieguide.org. One of the reviewers, Dr. Ted Baehr, say that the film is "anti-Christian- for the main character's doing a mock prayer to baby Jesus- and, anti-family; and racist (for lampooning NASCAR's dominant audience- good ol' southern white boys)". It even complains about a mock gay kiss between Ricky Bobby and a gay rival.
Can anybody tell me what the big fuss is all about? Why are these folks aligning the film with Mel Gibson's recent acts of jackassery? Sure, Christianity is under attack, but so are Jews, Muslims; and even those wacky Jehovah's Witnesses. But come on, folks, it's just a movie! Not an attack on Christianity; Jews; or even gays- which these so-called Christians are so good at doing. Bashing gays (if it makes you feel better, Mr./Ms. Evangelical Fundementalist Christian, why don't you go ahead to a gay bar, follow two gay men or two lesbians, and bash them with a baseball bat- and that Bible you use to justify in your bashing. At least you'll be showing your true colors...I know, I'm straying a bit here. But, man, I'm getting tired of these so-called Christian types saying that they're persecuted. Only, they're the persecutors).
It's just a movie, folks. Relax. Laugh. Then go home, and read your Bibles if you like.

The Right to Have Sex With Children?!!!! Cleveland Area Man Believes So
Boy, I've got to hand it to this Phillip Distasio, of Rocky River, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb.
At least he has the balls to say,"yes, I'm a pedophile", and he even told the judge hearing the case in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in a pretrial hearing that, quote, "The only reason why I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex"- end quote.
"No one can believe that a child can consent to sex."
I don't know what planet Mr. Distasio came from, or even what country he's from- if he's of what folks in Star Trek lore calls Terra (we here in the real world call it Earth). But the last time I heard, having sex with a person under age 18 (in many jurisdictions here in the US...perhaps it's legal to do the nasty to a child where Mr. Distasio's from. I don't know...I'm trying to keep myself from kicking this computer's monitor in anger as I write this...), a person faces 25 to life, especially now since Jessica's Law (named for Jessica Lunsford, the Florida girl who was murdered by a known sex offender last year)- and its' equivalents- passed in many states. What I do know is that he's charged with having sex with seven autistic boys. Among the charges- 74 counts in all- rape; pandering obscenity to minors, and corrupting another with drugs. All of the victims were under the age of 13. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
He's also acting as his own attorney (and you know the saying about people serving as their own attorney).
Distasio says that he's a leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries. According to the website I'm looking at right now, it's a ministry of the Universal Life Church, which is based out of Modesto, California -their website is http://www.ulchq.com . According to the ULCHQ site, the Universal Life Church has no doctrine, so I won't even go there on what these people really believe. (You can also click on http://www.members.cox.net/pateticus/proposal.htm for more info on the Arcadian Fields Group out of Cleveland).
I cannot fathom even why they let jackals like Distasio in the door. Perhaps they'll have the good sense to kick him out. Then again...
All I can say is that I have a feeling a nice can of worms have been opened here. Perhaps we'll learn more about the Universal Life Church in the days to come. In fact, my research has already begun.

Mel Gibson- Hot Potato
Mel Gibson: anti-Semite?
I can't help but wonder if he really needed that holy juice to show his true colors. After all, his dad denies that the holocaust existed, and I'm thinking, "hey, like father, like son."
As we are now well aware, Mr. Gibson was arrested last Friday night on DUI charges- his blood alcohol level was about twice the legal limit. While getting arrested- by a Jewish cop, nonetheless- he allegedly went on this tirade about Jews controlling Hollywood, etc. That's right. The New York-born Aussie is the Jews' best friend. HA!
Well, of course, you now know of the apology that he's given to the Jewish community. But that obviously isn't enough. ABC- which is controlled by a Jewish mouse named Mickey- has decided not to air a Gibson-produced miniseries. Much of Hollywood isn't touching him with a 10-foot- let alone a 39 and a half inch- pole. And some are beginning to wonder whether his epic "The Passion of the Christ" is proof that Uncle Melvin hates Jews.
Man, what have we gotten ourselves into, Mr. Gibson? Talk about a "Lethal Weapon".
But in all seriousness, whether Mel Gibson can recover from this latest Hollywood fiasco or no depends on whether the Hollywood community accepts him back with open arms, albeit in due time. This could mean a 'blacklist' for him, moving him from 'A' status to- at best- 'C' status. If this incident torpedoes his career...well, there's at least the priesthood. (He's an archconservative Roman Catholic. Perhaps he'll be the next Pope. God help us all).
