This morning I had one of those moments when I really wanted to call into the local morning talk radio show. I didn’t catch the entire topic, but in the car on the way to work, they were talking about local traffic. The host tried to make the case that since it is extremely rare [...]

Seems that Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ has brought in more than $200 Million in the two weeks that’s been out, and is expected to gross close to $400 Million.
