It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

The Niggardly* Folks of Fishkill, NY...

...or, Assault on the English language...

...or, How stupid do you have to be to consider yourself an animal "rights" activist?

PETA calls for Fishkill to change town name

(Fishkill, NY - AP) — The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is calling for the town of Fishkill to change its name.
The Poughkeepsie Journal reports that PETA wants the town to be known as FishingHurts.com, which just happens to be the Internet address for a PETA Web site dedicated to the group's, quote — "fish empathy project."
Fishkill officials weren't biting Wednesday. The name Fishkill is actually derived from two Dutch words: Vis, for fish, and Kill, for stream or creek. PETA acknowledges the true meaning of the name, but said most who see Fishkill on a map wouldn't know that.

PETA also offered to donate 15,000 dollars worth of a soy-based, faux-fish product for school students in the town if the name is changed.

* Niggardly [from the Swedish] : 1) grudgingly mean about spending or granting
2) provided in meanly limited supply

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
