A review in today's SMH describes the casting of the Ocean's 11 remake as "prime American beef". So true! I have never seen such a collection of mailbox heads. Admittedly I still crave reincarnation as George Clooney's shirt.

Reproductive freedom

81% of Australians believe "a woman should have the right to choose whether or not she has an abortion". Very, very interesting article about a report on the attitudes of citizens and politicians and how they've changed in the past three decades.

A report from late last year on lies about condoms spread worldwide by the Vatican, which stated that both sperm and HIV can pass through condoms. Good grief, chaps, if contraception is wrong, but condoms don't stop sperm anyway, why do you object to them? One health worker in Africa couldn't distribute condoms because of church opposition; a nun advised an HIV+ man not to use condoms with his wife. These lies mean uncounted deaths, sickness, misery, and poverty. I'd like to find out if the Vatican has done anything to correct this in the last twelve months.

Gakked from motiveforce, it's Bibleman.

I have no reponse to this.

Except to go out at once and tape some episodes of Torahman, who defeats the villain by engaging him or her in a tricky theological debate long enough for Talmudboy to throw his metal yarmulkah and knock the baddie out.
