George Bush vs. Harry Potter

These were the nut jobs

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

There are millions of these people in the US - their numbers are growing.

JK ROWLING was denied a top US honour because President George Bush's advisers believed her books "encouraged witchcraft", it was claimed last night.

A new book reveals the Scots-based Harry Potter author was nominated for a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But White House officials objected because they said she promoted SORCERY in her boy wizard series, which has been made into smash-hit movies starring Daniel Radcliffe

So they stopped JK receiving the US's top gong for civilians who contribute to America, world peace or culture.

The claim is made in Speechless: Tales of a White House Survivor, written by Matt Latimer, an ex-speechwriter for Bush.

He said "narrow thinking" led "people in the White House to actually object to giving the author JK Rowling a presidential medal because the Harry Potter books encourage witchcraft".

America's Favorite Crime Writer Talks With Feisty Boomers

Patricia Cornwell, author of such bestsellers as "Scarpetta" and "The Front", talks with Eileen Williams of FeistySideOfFifty about her latest release, "The Scarpetta Factor".

Ms. Williams is an enthusiastic host with a passion for helping Boomer women come to terms with their ever-changing lives. It's obvious that she is a fan of Patricia Cornwell's books, and the feelings come through loud and clear as you listen to their conversation. Delightful, insightful and inspiring, both these women will have you rushing to the nearest bookstore (or online shop) to get your own copy of this fantastic book.

2012: Hoax and hype debunked by NASA scientist and Mayan elder

With the hype surrounding the upcoming movie release of 2012 and hundreds of books recently flooding the market about the December 12th or 21st, 2012 end-of-the-world as we know it predictions; it’s sobering to find articles by a NASA scientist and an interview with a Mayan elder in the news, clarifying each and every notion, hoax, prediction and tempering the hysteria around this particular date.

The $cience of Harry Potter

clipper's remarks: The museum defends the intellectual value of what is sure to be a cash cow of an exhibit by noting that the 200 movie props it features offer a window into innovation.

“You see these props and think, ‘How did they do that?’ It is an inspiration for people to explore what it took to create these movie worlds,” said Paul Fontaine, vice president of education at the museum.

And that inspiration is essential to scientific innovation, he says.

“When you think of the foundations of science, it is creativity; what it takes to transform fantasy to the screen. We hope people take away those foundation skills,” Fontaine said.

The museum is home to displays about DNA, electricity, astronomy and anatomy. But some area academics agree a re-creation of Hogwarts is not out of place.

Andrew Cohen, physics professor at Boston University, references popular movies in his lectures to make complex theories tangible.

It’s not that the Harry Potter books aren’t educational - you can learn about the temperament of dragons, the magical powers of gillyweed and the protocol for meeting a hippogriff for the first time. But as any fan worth his Bertie Bott’s beans knows, J. K. Rowling’s series is fueled by magic.

So what’s “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” doing in the Museum of Science?

Boston Herald’s Tenley Woodman is on a roll. Here she is yesterday describing the nexus of Hollywood and Washingto DC: It’s the health-care pitch in Saw VI.

Christians burning Bibles!

clipper's remarks: A thousand differing denominations can't be wrong!

Clip Source: gods4suckers.net

This is happening at a small church in the town my father was born and grew up in, Canton, N.C. Also, this is just another example of Christians against Christians, one declaring to have superior and divine knowledge of the “true word” via the King James Bible. All other translations of the Bible are “of the devil”, according to Pastor Marc Grizzard. One woman interviewed says “In my opinion, the King James version is the only version.” These folks are showing their total lack of knowledge concerning the Bible’s history (amongst other things).

The “wrong” versions of the Bible are not the only books being burned. Books of many Christian authors are also on the burn list, including the Rev. Billy Graham, Dr. James Dobson, Mother Theresa, Rick Warren, Tim LaHaye. This just goes to show us, eventually the Christians will but themselves out of business by fighting amongst themselves.

Christian book burning planned for Halloween

clipper's remarks: What ?!!!!!!!!!!

Clip Source: cnews.canoe.ca

North Carolina pastor says his church plans to burn Bibles and books by Christian authors on Halloween to light a fire under true believers.

Pastor Marc Grizzard told Asheville TV station WLOS that the King James version of the Bible is the only one his small western North Carolina church follows. He says all other versions, such as the Living Bible, are "satanic" and "perversions" of God's word.

On Halloween night, Grizzard and the 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church also will burn music and books by Christian authors, such as Billy Graham and Rick Warren.

Telephone calls to the Amazing Grace Baptist Church and Grizzard's home were not immediately returned Wednesday.

This is the function of books — we learn how to live even if we weren’t there. Fiction gives us access to a very real history. Stories are the best democracy we have. We are allowed to become the other we never dreamed we could be.

Start-up publisher OR Books has announced plans to publish Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare, a collection of essays about the maverick Republican with a title — and cover design — remarkably similar to Palin’s upcoming memoir. What’s more, OR’s paperback tome will be released on Nov. 17, the same day that Palin’s own Going Rogue: An American Life hits shelves

Going Rouge is compiled by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed, two top editors of the left-leaning weekly The Nation, and includes essays by Nation regulars like Katrina vanden Heuvel, Naomi Klein, and Katha Pollitt. It’s the first release from OR Books, a fledgling outfit founded earlier this year by publishing veterans John Oakes and Colin Robinson that “embraces progressive change in politics, culture and the way we do business,”
