Holy Anticipation

For anyone who cares, Angelina Jolie has given birth to a baby girl. She and Brad Pitt had been staying in Namibia. The government of that nation, which is located, um, overseas somewhere, went as far as to threaten to expel any celebrity photographers that tried to take the couple's picture.

To say that this is big news among the tabloid crowd would be to put it mildly. In fact, one magazine went as far as to say of the child, "It is the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ."

Say what?

Now I'm the first to admit that I'm not overly religious, and I've never even read the Bible, but I'm fairly certain that none of the Gospels talk about Mary and Joseph fleeing to some stable in Bethlehem to escape the prying eyes of photographers.
