...past few years, as I've watched Paul Rudd in Judd Apatow's comedy bromances, I've wondered why Apatow hasn't promoted the actor to star status. In The 40 Year Old Virgin Rudd and Seth Rogen were the hero's two closest buddies (and tormentors). But it was Rogen who got the lead role in Knocked Up, with Rudd in a supporting role as his best friend. In Knocked Up the Rogen character had a couple of stoner pals, played by Jonah Hill and Jason Segel. Quickly, Apatow godfathered their star movies: Hill in Superbad, Segel in Forgetting...

The new initiative involved promoting and preserving democratic ideals. The resulting manifesto, the Red Book, not only proposed an answer for how to mold students into educated citizens, but also how to mold a more cohesive world community. Thousands...
Pope Benedict XVI's opposition to condoms, even as a weapon to help combat the spread of AIDS, should surprise no one who knows anything about Catholic Church teachings. The 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae, penned by Pope Paul VI, explicitly forbids contraception as denying the Creator's will that humans be fruitful and multiply. In the years since, despite scientific consensus that condoms greatly reduce the risk of contracting the HIV virus, nothing has budged at the Vatican. Any artificial contraception is a sin against God. Full stop...
