It's Cold Outside - I'm Cold Inside

I don't wanna brag about the gumbo or nuthin', but, if I didn't know any better I'd say it was professionally done. Pete is still on his deathbed. Although I would like to hangout with him, I'm avoiding his company as much as possible lest I catch the foul malady he has.

Janet Jackson and her nipple shield still won't go away. Sheesh! Spike Lee has denounced the incident for what it was - a publicity stunt. In any other Western country, this would be laughed away but not here. And now the Veterans of Foreign Wars is bitching about Kid Rock's flag outfit. He wore something made of a flag that had a slit in it. Why anyone would be offended by this is beyond me. Also in entertainment news, Mel Gibson's film, The Passion of the Christ, is stirring up a shitstorm. If you've seen the film and have criticisms of it, fine. But solely by virtue of being a Jew does not give you authority to denounce the film. I wish Gibson would do more to defend it. He should be out there castigating people who off-handedly cast aspersions on it and denouncing them as narrow-minded, unAmerican jackasses. Hell, all reasonable, open-minded folks should be doing the same or it's gonna be The Last Temptation of Christ all over again. (It's funny how the Catholic Church had no problems corrupting other people's symbols but when it comes to a their own - oh fuck - look out!) And they should come down just as hard on anti-Semites. There's a lot of fear that the film will engender a new wave of anti-Semitism. Jesus was a Jew and just because your religion was run by a bunch of fat cats who told everyone else that usury was bad while they got rich doesn't mean the Jews were to blame for anything. Anyone who thinks that Hitler was anything other than a hellish monster oughta be deported to the Antarctic. Either that or given the Ludovico Treatment for a few years before being deported.
