Don't bring me down, Bruce!

Of course, not all actors can be as wonderfully savvy as Mr. Clooney. Witness: Amabassador Blasts Bruce Willis' Comments. Specifically:

The actor said the United States should consider "going to Colombia and doing whatever it takes to end the cocaine trade."

It ain't Colombia that has the power to end the drug trade, though. It's those so-and-sos in Washington D.C. and their idiotic "war" on "drugs".

As for Colombia, far be it from me to tell them how to run their country, but what have they gained from cooperating with the United States?

Go George!

I'm referring to George Clooney, not the President, who I truly wish would stop.

Read: I Am a Liberal. There, I Said It!

Clooney begins:

I am a liberal. And I make no apologies for it. Hell, I'm proud of it.

Yeah! That is what people need to hear. More:

Too many people run away from the label. They whisper it like you'd whisper "I'm a Nazi." Like it's dirty word. But turn away from saying "I'm a liberal" and it's like you're turning away from saying that blacks should be allowed to sit in the front of the bus, that women should be able to vote and get paid the same as a man, that McCarthy was wrong, that Vietnam was a mistake. And that Saddam Hussein had no ties to al-Qaeda and had nothing to do with 9/11.

Okay, that's all I'm going to post here. If you want more of this beautifulness, you must click on the link. :)

Pope takes a lesson from the Scientologists

After fixing the link to Chris's blog, it was only natural to start reading it. This turned out to be a lucky break--check out this post. Looks like the Pope has taken a lesson from the Scientologists, and decided to copyright not only his own words, but to do so retroactively for every Pope for the past 50 years. Cute. I commented on Chris's blog:

What's potentially even more problematic about this than the money aspect of it is the potential for the Catholic Church to use their copyright to protect the Pope's words from criticism, similar to the way the Church of Scientology guards its most secret "teachings."

Plus, the idea of applying a copyright retroactively for the past 50 years is fairly worrysome.

Whoops. Link error.

I just discovered an error in one of the links in my sidebar--the link to Chris Hall's blog, Literate Perversions, went to a specific post (one from nearly a year ago), rather than to the blog itself. Ooops. Anyway, it's fixed now. My apologies.
