A couple of quick "Must Read"s for your Friday

A must-read editorial about the upcoming Golden Compass movie. Money shot quote:
It goes like this: If your ancient, authoritarian, immutable belief system is truly threatened by a handful of popular novels, if your ostensibly all-powerful, unyielding creed is rendered meek and defenseless when faced with the story of a fiery, rebellious young girl who effortlessly rejects your stiff misogynistic religiosity in favor of adventure, love, sex, the ability to discover and define her soul on her own terms, well, it might be time for you to roll it all up and shut it all down and crawl back home, and let the divine breathe and move and dance as she sees fit. Don't you agree?

Aww, yeah. Much thanks to paddbear who is excited as I am to see this movie.

Also, a must-read about the Salivation Army drooling on your tax dollar...
