WatchOn the latest Rick Warren bullshit. It’s almost worth it to have Katha Pollitt on the Rachel Maddow Show.
There’s a disturbing scene in the Canadian TV show “Slings & Arrows”, in which a preacher gay-bashes at a gay man’s funeral, basically blaming him for his own death and screaming “hellfire”. That scene is now not so much less funny but certainly...

Rick Warren is a piece of shit.
It’s disgusting that I even know this guy exists. What kind of logical sense does it make to be “inclusive” and “accepting” and to try to “bridge divides” with people who are not even remotely willing to pretend to consider to attempt to do the same? Grr…

Ray: We're a barrel of fuckin laughs aren't we.
Ken: I love cocaine.
Ray: It's great being a gangster.

“After decades of satires, spoofs and skits, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders called time on their long partnership at the weekend, performing their final show in London.”
First Ade and Rik and now this. I can’t take it anymore. Time and age are my enemies. I can embrace change but only to a point, I mean really, can’t there be some things that just stay the same?
