I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE BODIES: And so is Catholic League president William Donohue. According to a press release yesterday, Donohue wants to know where the anti-Semitism that was supposed to spring up after the release of The Passion of the Christ is.

Two months have elapsed since the film was released and no Jew has been killed. Not only have there been no pogroms, there have been no reported beatings, and no reported acts of vandalism associated with the film. This is true not only in the U.S.; it is true all over the world. By now the movie has played in literally scores of countries, all without violence.

Read on.

Well, as long as people hate the Jews for being sneaky evil God-killers *without violence*, all's right with the world.

Like, barf.

Or maybe the lack of any outburst of violence is proof that people come away from The Passion without the belief that Jews are a group of sneaky God-killers.
