She tore up a picture of the pope only because the image of the pope had real power over her. Who but somebody who truly cares about a religion would spend so much time mocking it? But just from an entertainment perspective, Madonna is truly one of the most boring acts around.

Will she end up, in a few years, hiding in a burqa a'la M. Jackson, safely ensconced, regardless of her past 'Kabbalisim', in the shrouds of Islam. Safe from all intruders. After all, they do protect their believers, no matter how false, do they not? Material Girl, is obviously, all about Material. Will she end up, in a few years, hiding in a burqa a’la M.

Consider-poor Bush is down there and <i>everyone</i>, and I do mean everyone is kicking him. Pretty soon, the average Joe is going to start feeling sorry for the guy. Even Andrew Sullivan won't let up, for Christ's sake.

Being a crude lefty on stage runs no risksin Hollywood. It is no more cutting edge and courageous as wearing a button on your jacket with the name "Bush" on it with a red diagonal line going through it in the East Village or Upper West Side (of NY City).

How it is that eye-candy Da Vinci Code garnered $77 million over one weekend yet for some reason we have a health care crisis? Art in America no longer inspires anything but hollow junk for big $$$.
