TALK ABOUT "THE PASSION": One question about this Jesus-gets-struck-by-lightning story that I haven't seen brought up at all: much was made of Mel Gibson screening his "Passion" movie about two months ago for a group of critics/sycophants, including right-wing Jews Dennis Prager and Michael Medved. That was supposed to be a "rough cut"; but now, months later, actor Jim Caviezel was struck by lightning while on the set. That's right- on the set. What does that mean? It means Gibson is still filming. If a nearly-finished version earned the supposed seal of approval of "the Jews," and that was supposed to put the controversy to bed, then what is Gibson doing filming more footage- and presumably still making changes- all these months later?
