A book.
A fictional book.
A movie based on a fictional book.
Apparently all such must be met with disapproval, according to the Vatican.
These clowns just never get it, no matter what century they choose to inhabit.
Fortunately, no one will be burned at the stake — as far as we know.

Soon there will be much ballyhooing about Earth Hour and what a Great Thing™ switching lights off for an hour will be for Saving The Earth.
From what, I’m not certain.
Earth Hour is an opportunity for the global community to speak in one voice on the issue of climate change, while at the same time coming together in celebration of the one thing every single person on the planet has in common – the planet. -Andy Ridley, Earth Hour Executive Director
Whoop-de-doo.
Mostly, I think it means that everyone runs around in the dark for an hour. Then, miracle of miracles, the switch is flipped and the power grid falters for a split second.
This to me sounds like one of those school do-gooder 24-hours-of-hunger marathons, where, after the event concludes, the students get rewarded for their valiant effort at starvation imitation with a pizza and beer pop pig-out. Some gullible writer posts the event in the local paper and the entire 24 hours of starvation-imitation hardship and bravado is duly forgotten by one and all.
Does anyone ever tell these people that the millions starving somewhere over there don’t get to slop down the pizza and pop and then forget about the whole thing?
I thought not. Further, I’m certain the cooking fires don’t get dimmed either — unless the cooks have access to the power grid and an internet connection.
Having already starved many areas of the African continent and other parts of the world into submission, researchers are now attempting to work their wonder on the Western world. We should be hearing from PETA any moment now.

All I can say is, good luck with that, given how well things have progressed over the decades in Colombia.
just like the deadbeat and disgraced King George. Perhaps the two could go on a hand-holding tour of the world, and ask Saudi Clown Prince Abdullah if he would choose to accompany.
And why not? Apparently, anything is possible, especially preventing AIDS with a vow of chastity and a prayer offered up while subserviently kneeling.
Link to article here, where the tired hack known as a news organization calls it as “an issue that divides many Catholics”, rather than the stupidity it really is. MSNBC’s article ends with a reference to a holocaust denier as well. What the hell does that have to do with condoms and AIDS?
I suspect MSNBC is trying to make yet another feeble attempt at being relevant by trying to generate some interest for everybody. By including the holocaust they’ll pump up their Google hits.
(Picture included just because it’s so cute, and includes both a grin and a grimace. No doubt the grimace signals some body or some thing squeezing the shit out of the world economy.)
In keeping with the RCMP’s latest crime-fighting taser techniques against stapler-bearing individuals, inquiry Judge Thomas Braidwood was shocked multiple times by Mounties when they felt threatened by the gavel the judge raised during testimony given by fellow officers.
“It was certainly a defensive measure,” stated the Brave Mountie™ in charge. “It was our decision based on years of training. We deal with these types of people all the time, and we know best how to safely subdue them.”
There is no word on whether the judge was under arrest at the time.

…environmentalists say regular use of soft tissue paper is flushing trees… -calgaryherald.com, Mike De Sousa
For those Greenpeacers south of the 49th, you could use what Bush&Co used profuse amounts of during his eight-year reign. And if you don’t know what that was because you were too busy hugging your trees, you definitely weren’t paying attention.
