Gimme That Old Time Religion


Or at least a chocolate Jesus. A sculpture by Cosimo Cavallaro of Jesus on the Cross in milk chocolate has raised the ire of a group of U.S. Catholics. They want to boycott the coming exposition of the uh...piece...at the Lab Gallery in Manhattan. The artwork stands just short of 6 feet tall and weighs 198 pounds. Yes, almost 200 pounds of chocolate in the form of a man...well...a man and a God, because we all know that Jesus had both human and divine nature. And just in time for Easter! That sure puts those hollow chocolate Easter bunnies to shame.

Four Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand (Six Hundred) Sleepers

According to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) we have 435,000 terror suspects. Yep, according to the Washington Post the list grows so fast that it has become almost unmanageable. I have always maintained that when you watch everyone so closely, the info you get becomes completely meaningless. But, hey, what do I know?

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens' wife Catherine gets delayed every time she wants to board a plane, because her name resembles Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam. Islam finds himself on the list because, well we don't know - the information remains classified. Well, I know I feel better without Catherine on my flight.
