Here's my post from yesterday on
Stop The ACLU-
A young, black trenchcoated gunman is suspected in two separate attacks against Christians in Colorado. On this same weekend we're greeted with the holiday season opening of The Golden Compass, the first in a planned three film anti-Christian trifecta presentation of the His Dark Materials fantasy series which author Bill Pullman boasts is intended to 'kill God in the minds of children'. Four days earlier, a despondent young man kills eight at a shopping mall in Omaha before taking his own life.
The connection between these events are obvious, all signs and symptoms of a culture which breeds not 'separatism' but a growing cult of hatred against people of faith. While politicians argue over the definition of 'hate crime', the victims of true intolerance can be tallied both for now and the future-in a youth missionary center, a church parking lot and theater seats everywhere.

(does he go by “Bill”? I couldn’t find that)
Some good news:

[snip] ...The Golden Compass’ modest $26 million bow should be enough for those New Line studio executives to keep their day jobs... it’s going to take a robust performance during the holiday vacation to make up its $205 million negative cost... Even its $26 million bow couldn’t surpass last year’s numbers at this time. The box office’s top 12 was down close to 10 per cent compared to last weekend at this time when Disney unleashed Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto and Sony opened up the Cameron Diaz-Kate Winslet romantic comedy The Holiday... John Cusack’s Iraq drama Grace is Gone had a much more difficult time. The Weinstein Company flick bowed on four screens to $14,000 for an anemic $3,500 average, all but killing award recognition for the Sundance-acquired indie. [end]
