Which is why I took a nap tonight instead of watching all of Diane Sawyer's interview with Mel Gibson regarding "The Passion." What little I did see of it confirmed what I already knew.
1) That Mel Gibson is easily in the semi-finals for the title of Biggest Cojones in the World.
2) That depicting history as it actually happened is NOT racist in any form.
3) That Mel is smarter than every one of his detractors.
4) That Diane Sawyer has four brain cells and even that may not last very long as they have not been nourished in so long that they will probably soon resort to cannibalism.
I especially loved her trying to cast doubt on the gospels being true on the basis that historically Pontius Pilate was an iron-fisted ruler who wouldn't take no sh*t, yet in the gospels we see him capitulating to the will of the crowd. Puh-leeze, Diane. Spend more time reading history books instead of in the plastic surgeon's chair.
If I may stoop to using some un-Christian language, I would just like to say that there are a lot of asshats in this world.
