Holy Bible, Batman!

Talk about cosmic convergence, or divine miracle, or whatever. Perhaps inspired by the recent stories about the Gospel of Judas and/or the scientist explaining Jesus walking on water, or a delayed reaction to "The DaVinci Code," all of a sudden the authenticity of the bible is, finally, getting some attention.

The National Geographic channel ran a documentary on the Gospel of Judas last night; I recorded it but haven't watched it yet. I did, however, watch this delightful bit of blasphemy from Penn & Teller.

Of course, this may all be just another one of Karl Rove's ongoing series of evil-genius plots to continually distract attention away from the crimes of his puppet boss. Last year this series featured such gems as Terri Schiavo and the disappearance of Natalee Holliway. Last week--the Repugs stage a faux-debate about immigration; this week: staging attack on the bible is sure to rally the base!
