In other news, water is wet and grass is green.

An Italian film has sparked a debate in the Muslim community for its representation of Islam. ‘Il mercante di pietre’ (The Stone Merchant) by Italian filmmaker Renzo Martinelli “brings back to mind Nazi propaganda against the Jews,” accuses Dacia Valent, the spokesperson of the Islamic Anti-Defamation League, an Italian group. Her view is shared by the association of Young Muslims of Italy whose forum is full of messages comparing the movie to Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda…

The movie is controversial as all the Muslims it portrays are terrorists.

At a recent press conference, Martinelli said his film was meant to “sound the alarm against multiculturalists who justify everything and are in favour of opening up Europe - all signs the Muslim world perceives as a weakness, taking advantage of us.” The filmmaker - who told reporters he goes around armed just in case some militant attacked him - added tha he “didn’t attack Muslims but tried to understand them.

Today - for the first time - I saw a little shock and dismay on a Greek newscaster's face, as she announced that Idomeneo was canceled in Berlin as to not upset Muslims. Greeks are big on art, a large part of our budget (like any good little socialist nation) goes to fund the arts. I know our sweet and innocent newscaster was shocked and dismayed to hear that an opera in an EU country was canceled because Muslims might not be happy with it. All this time she had thought Americans and Israelis were the big bad bullies.

bloggie, you're such a sweet little blog and I don't tell you I love you often enough. Well, I love you. Good night bloggaki mou.

Heh... zorkie, when I read the first sentence of your comment I thought it was going to be a CheChe.

Stormi, LOL!! I wish! :-)

I just watched two back to back episodes of Project Runway. I think all of my brains have leaked out of my head. Can somebody help me scoop them up off the floor? I think I might be able to salvage some.

Stormi;

I'm sorry, but it's too late for that. The best you can hope for is, if you never watch that again, they might grow back.

Spin three times in a circle, whilst standing on your head, chanting, "BALDWIN THE LEPER KING IS THE SWELLEST KING OF ALL!" Then assume the lotus position, chanting "OM", meditating on the overall goodness of Bloggie. The wit and wisdom displayed on Bloggie will help you overcome your brush with stupidity.

Drink a cup of green tea, swearing to the Goddess Kuan Yin that you will never, ever, watch "Project Runway" again. Then watch the Cartoon Network, and the Food Channel, which are, at this point, the only halfway sensible things on T.V.

Eat a chocolate bar; it won't help your brains, but it will make you feel better. Then go out and shop till you drop. This should complete the cure.

Your brains will return. Just remember---your brains will vanish forever, into that same dark hole where socks from the dryer disappear, if you become a regular watcher of "The O.C.", or, "Laguna Beach, the Real O.C." (Trust me, it isn't).

You have been warned. Now eat that chocolate bar!

Watching the Borat trailer, I reckon that Cohen is the IDEAL candidate to play the lead role in the "Life of Mo".
