Charlie Sheen’s descent into madness

What is it with these actors losing their minds? Longtime Scientology apologist Tom Cruise castigates the entire field of psychiatry, meanwhile advocating for a fringe program known as Study Tech, and most recently, he hires a new publicist presumably to downplay his involvement with the cult so he can sell more movie tickets to the unknowing public — I’ve already boycotted new movies from Cruise and another loon, Mel Gibson — meanwhile, Charlie Sheen is out hunting for mythological creatures. One doesn’t have to watch slapstick comedy to see lunacy in action.

So, is it OK to name a kid Satan or Beelzebub?

This is rich: Apparently a mother from Newport, Tenn., which is not too far from where I live in East Tennessee, has been commanded, not by God on high, but by Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew, to change her child’s name from Messiah to Martin.

Here is Ballew’s statement in all her wisdom:

The word Messiah is a title, and it’s a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ.

Fortunately, the mother is appealing the case, and this judge’s verdict will never hold up in a serious court of law. In any case, Ballew has no business making any claims about Jesus as the Messiah in her capacity as a public servant. In her world, what other names would be off the table? There’s only one Satan. What about Lucifer or Jehovah? How about John the Baptist? That was a one of a kind title. Michael was the name of an apparently one of a kind, super important arch angel. Should we can that one too?

Witness the stupidity:
