She is one funny bumpy thing
I wasn’t a big fan of Jesus is Magic. In fact, it managed to do what I never would’ve thought possible: by the end of it, I was kind of sick of Sarah Silverman and wanted her to go away. If you want to read somebody who can write say what I’m thinking, Stephanie Zacharek’s…
