O'Reilly, Christian Nudists, Italy's Exorcists

Tuesday December 20, 2005
Bill O'Reilly gets a well-deserved smack. O'Reilly, still on the warpath over whether or not retailers should proclaim "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" while pushing merchandise assembled by child labororers in China, hasn't figured out yet what's truly offensive- Bill O'Reilly (and his fellow squawkers.) As a perceptive observer has noted, the season isn't about declaring whose team you're on. More common sense: Christmas Wars are About Power, Not Christ

Plans for a 200 acre Christian nudist camp is drawing fire from fundamentalists coincerned about "moral collapse." (Um, yeah- if God wanted us naked, we'd have been born that way...)

Does Italy really need over three hundred trained exorcists? (Not to be politically incorrect here, but one might thing 2000 years was enough time to rid one small country of demons...)

Women hoping for a little supernatural help in getting married are leaving their underwear on the tomb of a venerated Rabbi. Even sillier are the offended Rabbis proclaiming self-righteously (and a bit too authoritatively) that the women's prayers will go unanswered.
