WHAT A WAY TO START A NEW MILLENNIUM

"A lunatic Christian cult has the run of the White House and the ear of the president. What do they want? The end of the world. Be afraid.

It's almost impossible for Kofi Annan to get a meeting with the president, but Robert G. Upton, of the United Pentecostal Church, can say, as he did a couple of weeks ago in that house organ of fundamentalism, the Village Voice, 'We're in constant contact with the White House.'

Before Bush came to office, I was essentially an atheist who liked Passover food. But the past three years have changed all that. I, like many of you, pray every day for the moment that George W. Bush is no longer president. So it's time to call to prayer all people of faith who agree with this principle, who don't like seeing their precious faith used for strange and bloody military ends. I implore Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccans, Protestants, Catholics, and even evangelical Christians to pray for a new president."

US GROUPS WANT MOORE FILM BANNED

As Michael Moore's documentary film opens across the US next week,
US conservative groups have launched a campaign to have it banned from cinemas.

US liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org has asked its supporters to write to cinemas on Move America Forward's list, urging them not to give in to pressure to block the film. I'd write too, if I had a US address.
