On a lighter note, this was amusing:

"Many of you will recall a horrid depiction of the Virgin Mary several years ago at a museum in Brooklyn. It was an image by an artist named Chris Ofili of a strange, unbecoming Madonna splattered with elephant dung. I even hate to write those words, but there was a message here. For several weeks ago there was a fire at a London warehouse, and in it was Ofili's blasphemous image, which (along with the other warehouse contents, and as eventually happens to all evil) was burnt to a crisp."

And God was watching....

Hopefully there wasn't anything of real value in the warehouse. The best part of this is that elephant dung can make a pretty good fire!

Going back to the subject at hand, one thing that a RCC friend always makes fun of me about is that the non Catholic Christians are wishy washy on abortion. I so him articles like this to remind him that no one has the market cornered on waffling.

Glad to hear it burned. Haven't heard of anyone crying about it.

I was thinking about this the other day when Clinton's portrait was unveiled at the White House.

Why didn't he elect to have the artist create an abstract rendition of himself splattered with elephant dung? He's all for this crap (pardon the pun), right?

Instead, he chose to have himself rendered in oil paint in a traditional, realist style.

I guess crappy abstract art is for the little people, and Christ's Mother.

I remember o"Reilly being outraged about that painting!
