The Catholic Church Finally Helps Art

The Vatican has banned the makers of the movie, “Angels & Demons,” from filming on its grounds. The Church constituted the ban because the film, and the book it is based on, is “an offence against God.” The book is written by Dan Brown, author of “The Da Vinci Code,” and the Pope [...]

We need more holidays

As of now there are only ten federal holidays and although they are celebrated for great reasons, they are not enough. I propose that nine more holidays be made federal holidays, giving most people the day off work [...]

Don’t Piss Off the Gods
