Good Sunday morning! The mystery of the historical Jesus has been solved by Hollywood director James Cameron, because he’s a friggin’ genius.
I am not the King of This World!
Britain’s Channel 4 will dutifully shill for this dreck with a documentary.
Sunday morning NYT op-ed, suitable for framing. A classic.
The gift that keeps on giving.
I hate to break this to Cameron, but Jesus is alive and well and living in Mexico. Hundreds of thousands of him.
Algore mobbed by French people? Well (pace “The Simpsons”), no one who speaks French could be evil.
Thanks for pointing that out. It really is a canonical example.
So, here’s the formula for a NYT Op-Ed:
1. Throat Clearing.
2. Opinion stated as fact.
3. Dash of fear.
4. Allocation of blame.
5. Prescription.
6. Threat of anathema from the back of a high horse.
I’m on my way to punditing billions!
I don’t know what, specifically, you’re referring to by “the gift that keeps on giving”, Dan, but you might be interesting in this Ellen Goodman column that was in today’s paper (but not on its website, for some reason). I’ll be blogging about it later today.
I meant that the humor is unrelenting, Angie.
I’m looking forward to your post. You may want to look at this.
The Washington Post should be embarrassed the way they are gushing over Gore.
I can see the scene now in the upper room after Easter Sunday has passed without a resurection of Jesus: the 11 apostles agree to a lie and agenda of belief at the insistence of really bitchy proto-feminist Magdalene that will require
1). the apostles to be ejected from the Temple (which introduces a number of problems of its own);
2). traveling great distances using means that were always uncomfortable and potentially lethally dangerous;
3). preaching to people who more often than not were hostile to what was preached;
4). death by burning, lancing, beheading, inverted crucifixion, and so forth.
And for what? For Magdalene and her offspring, so that they could begin, if things went well in five hundred years, to accrue a fortune derived from the tithes of naifs throughout the Roman empire?
Heh. I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you…
NATO allies need to drop restrictions that hobble their troops’ ability to fight a resurgent Taliban.
Well, they got one thing right.
I thought “hobble” was a nice, diplomatic verb.
Perhaps the NYT editorial board is willing to travel to Paris and Berlin on behalf of the U.S. government to chat up our “NATO allies” and get them to agree? I mean, I’m sure Condi & Co. hadn’t even thought of this before!
Genius!
P.S. remember back in the day when Rush Limbaugh came up with the “Gorbasm”, for U.S. sightings of Mikhail Gorbachev? Maybe we should update that to the “Gore-basm”.
Have fun at the Oscars, Al! It’s a tough crowd!
