Whoa: “The Rev. Al Sharpton, the prominent civil rights activist, is descended from a slave owned by relatives of the late senator and one-time segregationist Strom Thurmond, a genealogical study released Sunday reported.”

Tainted juror: One of the jurors in the CIA leak case gets booted, apparently doesn’t love Valentines Day.

Jesus: James Cameron to destroy Christianity.

Oscar results: Here.

Al Gore political stock results: Here.

Mulititasking: Bad for teens?

Door ajar: Not something one wants to hear of a flight from Ixtapa.

Hmm...seems a little weird to me. How do they know it is Jesus. I'm not saying that his body (or remains) isn't somewhere on earth, but why THIS box. Why this body? Also, these Christians are a little crazy. If they believe in miracles couldn't Jesus' body both be in the earth and risen? Why is it so easy to make their ideas fall apart. If a little science can "bring down" Christianity they are admitting to a pretty weak religion.

I am Catholic, and I have no problem with someone finding Jesus' body. My faith rests in Jesus' teachings--love the poor, give to your neighbors, blah blah. I also believe in the teachings of Soujourner Truth, Ghandi, MLK Jr, Coretta Scott King, Audre Lorde and Barbara Lee. These guys need to get a stronger G-d and a more powerful religion.

Why, if Gore threw in his hat now, would it be "a dramatic late entry"? That's retarded. It's still 2 years away.

As for Jesus, why would this be found now? I only skimmed the article, but why does this seem like perfect publicity for a movie coming out in 18 months or so?
