Dubious source, but free speech advocates should be appalled. This puts the tolerance crowd in line with the Muslims protesting against Salman Rushdie’s knighthood.
*According to a trusted contact, protests are allowed within Piedmont Park during Pride (though the video makes me wonder). I plan to find out for myself tomorrow.
Why would Hillary pick a song distinguished only by its schmaltzy averageness? Because she thinks it’s the kind of music a likable, feminine middle class woman would like? Because her consultants researched the exact number and nature of fans who go to Celine Dion’s show in Vegas each years, and determined they are the exact middle of America? Because it focus-grouped well? All of the above?
The comparison has been made before, and I agree: Hillary is Nixon in a pant suit, brilliant, paranoid and diabolical.
Dumb bitch Cameron Diaz has pissed off Peruvians with her choice of fashion accessory:
While exploring the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru’s Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao’s most famous political slogan.While the bags are marketed as trendy fashion accessories in some world capitals, the phrase has particular resonance in Peru, where the Maoist Shining Path insurgency brought Peru to edge of chaos in the 1980s and early 1990s with a campaign of massacres, assassinations and bombings.
Nearly 70,000 people were killed during the insurgency.
Communism is like so rad and all that good stuff.

Universal has hired a religious marketing firm to sell Evan Almighty to churches and religious leaders, hoping to capture the same hundreds of millions in Christ dollars raked in by The Passion, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Bruce Almighty. If they succeed, it will be tragic, not because Evan Almighty is unfunny (although it certainly is), but because it will validate Hollywood’s embarrassingly stupid approach to religion and faith.
Meanwhile, the film’s director, Tom Shadyac, is busy pimping his Jesus bona fides:
“There’s no bigger Jesus freak in this room than me, ’cause when I was as young as I can remember, having cognition and thought, I was looking at this Jesus guy and going, ‘Whoever this is, this is somebody that’s blowing my mind.’ “
Dude!
