Madonna and her husband annoy British government

After abandoning an acting career, Catholic church antagonizer Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have reportedly been lobbying the British government and nuclear industry to "clean up radioactive waste with a supposedly magic Kabbalah fluid," according to the London's Sunday Times.
"It was like a crank call, the scientific mechanisms and principles were just bollocks, basically," one official told the Times. "She relentlessly pursued people," according to a former civil servant. "She wanted to get this Russian scientist to explain this to civil servants."
"I can write the greatest songs and make the most fabulous films and be a fashion icon and conquer the world, but if there isn't a world to conquer, what's the point?" Madonna said, according to the paper.
"I've just come to a place in my life where I'm trying to really see what the big picture is and where my energy is better spent, and that's one area I'm really concerned about."
Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg dismissed the story as old news, saying that the singer's efforts occurred a few years back. "Better to talk about her current obsession - building an orphanage in the AIDS ravaged Malawi," she noted, "kind of adopting an entire country."
