If you've been waiting until the Christian fascist movement started filling stadiums with young people and hyping them up to do battle in "God's army" to get alarmed, wait no longer. In recent weeks, Battle Cry, a Christian fundamentalist youth movement, has attracted more than 25,000 to mega-rally rock concerts in San Francisco and Detroit and this weekend they plan to fill Wachovia Stadium in Philadelphia. They claim their religion and values are under attack but, amidst spectacular lightshows, hummers, Navy Seals, and military imagery on stage, it is Battle Cry that has declared war on everyone else! Their leader,...

TOM Cruise has claimed he will eat the PLACENTA after fiancée Katie Holmes has their baby. The actor, 43 — who wants her to give birth in silence according to his Scientology cult rules — said: “I’m gonna eat the placenta, too. “I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I’m going to eat the cord and the placenta right there.” But when a GQ magazine interviewer said it would be a big meal, Cruise replied: “OK, maybe I won’t.”

The actor, who proposed to the pregnant 27-year-old just two weeks into their romance, said he could just tell Katie was expecting. He told America's GQ magazine: "I just picked something up. I knew at that moment that she was pregnant." The 43-year-old Hollywood star has also revealed his love for the former 'Dawsons Creek' actress is stronger than his feeling for any of his exes - including former spouse Nicole Kidman who he was married to for over a decade. Tom described his fist date with Katie as "the best day of his life", adding: "She's just right for...

Environmental activists from six states descended yesterday on the Nashville office of Al Gore in an ongoing campaign to convince the former vice president to use his position as an Apple board member to urge the electronics manufacturer to recycle its computers. The Computer TakeBack Campaign, a national coalition of environmental organizations, turned its attentions to Apple Computer after successfully getting HP and Dell to support producer take-back recycling of toxic discarded products carrying their brand names. According to the group's website, Apple electronic wastes contain dangerous toxic chemicals. "The iLife isn't quite as harmonious as it seems. Lurking underneath...

WARNING that the world will reach the "tipping point" toward an ecological catastrophe within the next 10 years, former US Vice President Al Gore urged international and local leaders to focus their efforts toward halting the phenomenon of global warming. Gore flew to Manila yesterday to address a group of several hundred political and business leaders as well as members of the diplomatic corps at the RCBC Plaza on Ayala Avenue in Makati City on the dangers of neglecting the environment. "We should be worried about threats like terrorism, but we should also be worried about other more important threats...

Cindy Sheehan just finished her morning media event. When asked by reporters, Sheehan said she believes that while she supports the continued hunt for Osama bin Laden she believes the U.S. should withdraw from Afghanistan and “stop bombing innocent people.” She also described Osama bin Laden as being “allegedly” behind the attacks of 9/11. To those who have criticized her political stance, which includes allegations that the war in Iraq was “done for Israel” that George Bush is “the world’s biggest terrorist” and that al Qaeda may not be behind attacks on America, Sheehan said, “I know my son better...

I would not have believed it to be possible. Yesterday, we were introduced to whackjob RAT congressman Hinchey who made a fool of himself on the Hannity radio show. At that time, he appeared to be the most insane man on the planet. If anyone listened to George Noory and Coast to Coast AM last night, you discovered that Hinchey's title did not last a day. Al Bielek wins hands down. Recap Philadelphia Experiment & Montauk In the middle two hours of the show Al Bielek revisited his claim that he participated in the Philadelphia Experiment aboard the USS Eldridge...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Howard Dean, just four days into his job as Democratic National chairman, called Wednesday for New York's state Republican chairman to apologize or resign over remarks linking Democrats to a civil rights lawyer convicted of aiding terrorists. Calling Stephen Minarik's comments "offensive," the former Vermont governor said, "The American people deserve better than this type of political character assassination." Far from apologizing, Minarik issued a statement deriding the national chairman's comments as "the latest 'Dean Scream." "We are confident Howard Dean will continue Terry McAuliffe's rich tradition of raising money, losing races, and staying out of...

The fate of a tenured University of Colorado professor – who compared victims of the 9-11 World Trade Center terror attacks to Nazis, while praising the suicide hijackers for their "gallant sacrifices" – will be decided at a special meeting of the school's board of regents Thursday night. In the meantime, Ward Churchill, who yesterday preemptively stepped down as chairman of the Ethnic Studies Department, remains a professor of Ethnic Studies and Coordinator of American Indian Studies at the Colorado school. The controversy stems from an essay Churchill wrote titled "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens,"...

When Gary Gygax and several others invented the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Game, they had to guess at how to draw their goblins, hobgoblins and orcs of the worst description. The pictures in the old AD&D Monster Manual turned out pretty scary. However, they were probably inaccurate because they didn't have the most recent incarnation of Al Gore to sit as a model. If I were to describe this man as a portrait of Dorian Grey, I would probably have some guy named Dorian punch me in the nose. Gore is going down hill faster than Jean Claude Killey in...

IN HIS book Les Cent-Jours, Dominique Galouzeau de Villepin recounts Napoleon Bonaparte’s return from exile on the island of Elba, his triumphant march across France and final defeat by the Duke of Wellington. It is a book that enshrines the Foreign Minister’s hopes and ideals. Take, for instance, his account of Waterloo, a battle inexplicably won by the English: “And yet this defeat shines with an aura worthy of victory. The final opus of the unfinished symphony of the greatest military composer ever, it only just failed to turn to France’s advantage.” He adds: “This Napoleon guides and transcends. He...
