The more curious I become, the less curious are those who worship me. Religion suppresses curiosity. What I do subtracts from the worshipper. Thus it is that eventually I will do nothing, giving it all back to frightened people who will find themselves on that day alone and forced to act for themselves.

AP Release:
Wed Feb 14, 2:05 PM ET
Ben & Jerry's has named a new ice cream in honor of the comedian: "Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream."
It's vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel.
Announcing the new flavor Wednesday, Ben & Jerry's called it: "The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth."
The Vermont-based ice-cream maker is known for naming its flavors after people such as Jerry Garcia, Wavy Gravy and the band Phish — which Colbert sees as a political bias.
"I'm not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda," Colbert said in a statement. "What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case."

The movie was released on DVD on January 9, 2007.
The Mike Judge film, Idiocracy, has had one of the weirdest theatrical releases ever. According to Cinematical, "Twentieth Century Fox considered postponing the release indefinitely, then decided at the last minute to give the film an extremely limited run in only six U.S. cities, which did not include New York. The studio did not publicize the movie one bit: no trailers, no ads, and only two stills from 2004 that everyone on the internet used in their online reviews. Overall, the film did only moderate business after its Sept. 1 release, and quickly faded from the public eye." More >

World's top climate scientists issue their strongest warning
The United Nations (UN) climate panel issued its strongest warning yet on Friday that human activities are heating the planet, adding pressure on governments to do more to combat accelerating global warming.
"February 2, 2007 may be remembered as the day the question mark was removed from whether people are to blame for climate change," Achim Steiner, the head of the UN Environment Programme, told a news conference. He urged governments to inject more momentum into stalled talks on long-term cuts in emissions. Greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere have not been higher in 650000 years.
"We are in a sense doing things that have not happened in 650000 years, based on the scientific evidence," Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, told a news conference.
