POPSLosing Sight I'd like to ask whether, if the victim were their daughter, they'd be so cavalier about a crime that was originally charged as sodomy and rape before Polanski agreed to a plea bargain. She testified that he put his mouth on her vagina. "I was ready to cry," she said. "I was kind of -- I was going, 'No. Come on. Stop it.' But I was afraid." She said he then pulled off her panties. Q: What happened after that? A: He started to have intercourse with me. "He goes, 'Would you want me to go in through your back?' And I went, 'No.' " According to her, that didn't stop Polanski, who began having anal sex with her." Does it make you uncomfortable to read this? GOOD. She was a child.

POPSAnd Jesus Laughed "A minister woke up on a beautiful Sunday morning and decided to squeeze in a round of golf before services. St. Peter observed the man headed for the golf course and gave God a nudge. ‘He should be punished for this." God said, "OK, just watch." The minister proceeded to play the best golf of his life. His club selection was precise, and he hit every shot perfectly He was shooting par for the first time. "I thought you were going to punish him," said St. Peter. "Just watch," said God. The minister continued to play flawless golf and on the 18th hole he shot a hole-in-one. "What kind of punishment is this complained St. Peter." "Just think about it," said God. "Whom can he tell?"
