Ross Douthat goes after what he calls “Hollywood’s religion of choice” in the Times today: “Avatar is [James] Cameron’s long apologia for pantheism-a faith that equates God with Nature, and calls humanity into religious communion with the natural world.”…
If you go by the New York Post’s selection of its best front pages of the decade, we ushered in The Nads with the 9/11 terrorist attacks and ushered them out with the revelation that an illustrious linksman banged a bunch of broads. Unnoted in the review of the past ten years: the…
Serious diversity hits this list, compiled by PopJew, of the cutest boys in the music scene, right around #7: Aaron Lefkove from Liquor Store. “Any cute boyz list would not be complete without at least one Jewish boy.” But just one, we hope. (via the Jew in question.)

Hello! Thanks for doing this. If you have questions, or something doesn’t make sense, drop us a line. Ideally what you’ll email back to us will be one document, divided into the following six sections. Let’s begin!

The socialist takeover of the airline industry has begun (again): “The Transportation Department is ordering airlines to let passengers stuck in stranded airplanes to deplane after three hours.” The new…
The great Yuletide consumer potlatch has been a distinctly muted affair in our understimulated, recession-battered economy. The…

Pick your poison, because THIS is what’s out there today: “Princess Diana opened her Christmas presents weeks in advance, private letters reveal” or “The Simpsons may affect view of nuclear plants: prof.” It is an ENTIRE INTERNET full of “And That’s When I Clicked ‘Close Tab.’” Can’t we just call it Christmas already?
Turns out that getting smacked in the face with a souvenir statuette was probably the best thing to happen to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in a rather difficult year: He’s back over 50% in popularity…
Good news! The stolen Auschwitz sign has been recovered! “Police spokeswoman Katarzyna Padlo told The Associated Press that the sign was found in northern Poland. She said police also detained five men aged between 25 and 39 who are being transported to Krakow for questioning.” It’s a Christmas miracle!
“My advice does not contradict the Bible’s eighth commandment because God’s love for the poor and despised outweighs the property rights of the rich. Let my words not be misrepresented as a simplistic call for people to…

Also: Isn’t this how “South Park” got started?
