POPSAcadmic Showdown: Eagleton v Amis You want a good verbal fight full of high powered sarcasm, intelligence, iconoclasm? Watch this space. Eagleton is a delight to read - his TLS crit of 'The God Delusion' is brilliant (though obviously our Tel is no proseltyser for God). It's not just clippers who get a bit worked up when it comes to intellectual debate!

POPSWhy Should Being Gay Be a Crime? If Michael Savage is upset with the Catholic church, he ought to be downright livid if the United Nations adopts a resolution calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality. And when he finds out the resolution was offered by a black gay Frenchman? Well he'll probably call for the bombing of the U.N. and for the U.S. to finally invade and occupy France. What will be interesting to see is where the Bush administration stands. After all, they flip-flopped on allowing gay human rights activists to have U.N. access. Post-election, where will the Bush administration come down on this? Where would their base want them to come down? Three guesses, and the first two don't count.
