It’s Ash Wednesday. Party down.

Lots of controversy about “The Passion of the Christ”, which opens today. I dunno, when it comes to movies about the crucifixion, I think I’ll stick with Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”. Remember to “Always look on the bright side of death...Just before you take your terminal breath.”

Disturbing news yesterday that Bush is backing a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriages. The good news though is that its not going to happen. Republican Congressional leaders have pretty much conceded that they don’t have the votes. So why did he do it? Most likely to rally his electoral base. That and a recent speech where he blasted John Kerry and John Edwards shows that he is getting worried!

Three more primaries and caucuses were held last night, all of which were easily won by Kerry. The most amusing part was that in Hawaii, the Democratic Party leader conceded that they would probably get a low voter turnout because everyone would be staying home to watch and vote for a Hawaiian contestant appearing on “American Idol.” Hey, at least they know which elections matter!

On “24” last night, the terrorists released their biological virus into the air vents of a major L.A. hotel. Too bad that Kim wasn’t in the hotel.
