This Week’s Sign of the Apocalypse

Daniel Burke

In this week’s sign of the apocalypse (to borrow a gimmick from Sports Illustrated) Catholic League honcho Bill Donohue has announced that he agrees with Sen. Clinton.

That is, he too, thinks that Prez Bush should boycott the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to protest China’s crackdown on religious liberty.

“Senator Clinton gets it just right when she urges President Bush to boycott the opening ceremony, saying ‘Americans will stand strong in support of freedom of religion and political expression and human rights.'” says Donohue.


Reminds me of the line from that old chestnut “Ghostbusters,.” as Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) describes the impending apocalypse.

“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!”
