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...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

Senator At Least Torricelli Got to Bone Bianca Jagger steps in it.

From our most corrupt state comes this story that makes me wonder how big a piece of that hotel is waiting in ol' Corzine's Swiss bank account.

Sen. Jon S. Corzine probably never thought he would need to woo environmentalists in the race for governor of New Jersey.

The liberal Democrat has consistently earned high marks for his pro-environmental voting record, and green activists' loyalty to New Jersey Democrats seemed automatic. But actions early in his campaign has put him at odds with the state's largest environmental groups.

He has been lauded by environmentalists for a voting record that includes opposing offshore oil and gas drilling and calling for more money to preserve the nation's coastline from erosion.

But representatives of several groups recently stood shoulder to shoulder with his opponent, moderate Republican Douglas Forrester, to condemn proposed development of a chemical-tainted island on the Delaware River in south Jersey.

The state had rejected a proposal by landowner Citgo Petroleum Corp. to clean up Petty's Island, nesting site of one of New Jersey's 49 pairs of bald eagles, and donate the 392-acre tract as a wildlife refuge. Instead, the state endorsed a plan favored by local officials to claim the island by eminent domain and use it for a hotel, conference center and homes.
(Thanks to the Asbury Park Press and Yahoo!News.)

I think someone changed the definition of eminent domain while we weren't looking.

Since I don't want to be accused of pulling a Dennis Miller, here is a link to the Bianca Jagger reference. Sorry, kids. She wasn't hot even when she was hot.

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.
