A 12-step program for Gibson


1. Read "The Diary of Anne Frank"; "Night," by Elie Wiesel; "The Chosen," by Chaim Potok; "From Beirut to Jerusalem," by Thomas L. Friedman, and "Maus," by Art Spiegelman.

2. See the films "Life Is Beautiful," "Sophie's Choice," "Schindler's List," even "Exodus."

3. Watch "Paper Clips," a documentary about Christian children who, to comprehend the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust, collected 6 million paper clips.

4. Visit the Holocaust museums in New York, Washington and Jerusalem.

5. Visit Auschwitz.

6. Or the Western Wall.

7. Read the Old Testament.

8. Go to a Passover Seder.

9. Or a Sabbath dinner.

10. Sit shiva.

11. Have a sitdown with Mel Brooks, Woody Allen and Billy Crystal.

12. As atonement, eat 10 pounds of pastrami, which Zero Mostel said "killed more Jews than Hitler."

Number 12 cracks me up.

Add "The Gray Zone" to that movie list. Love #12. As I'm reading the zillion Mel Gibson threads here it's occurred to me that Mel has morphed into his former next door neighbor, Britney Spears. Remember pre KFed when she could do no wrong? Then a sudden fall from grace marked by shoeless gas station bathroom hijinks combined with drunken Red Bull guzzling, every day brought newer, more salacious nasty Britney stories in the press. Now it's Pope Mel's turn. Mel Gibson is officially the new Britney Spears.

Oh dear...does this mean he'll pop out another kid?

Gator, now I'm depressed. Sounds like a Britney comeback is possible if there is a new whipping post in town.
