To many, Jesus’ birth seems that alien, that inexplicable, and that ridiculous. The story of Immanuel (God -With-Us) is so insane that it might as well be added in the madness of the holiday season. A nativity scene nestled between Elf on a Shelf and a pink glitter reindeer—it just seems to make sense.

On July 24, another lame summer horror flick will hit theaters. This Warner Bros production is called Orphan, and it’s about a disturbed orphan child named Esther who enjoys murder.

First Fido & Pet Peeves
Well, it’s about time! I mean, since President Obama’s November victory speech, we’ve been speculating on what kind of dog the Obama family would get.
