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

Alexis Bledel is really cute, but isn't balancing her with the hideous Madeleine "Rwanda? What's Rwanda?" Halfbright for PC reasons a bit much?


ABOVE: The bedazzling Bledel.


ABOVE: Madeleine Halfbright as Mr. Whipple, her greatest role.


From USA Today:

Prime time now has a fictional female president in ABC's Commander in Chief, so why not a real female secretary of State?

Madeleine Albright, who served in the Clinton administration, will play herself in the Oct. 25 episode of WB's Gilmore Girls. She is scheduled to shoot her scene today.

Gilmore Girls executive producer Amy Sherman-Palladino and her writers were describing an upcoming character as "someone like Madeleine Albright," never thinking the former Cabinet secretary would have the time or the interest in doing the show.

Surprise! She did.

I'm not surprised. She's needed work ever since Charmin dropped the Mr. Whipple campaign.

"Apparently, she even knew of the show," says Sherman-Palladino, who wouldn't reveal details about Albright's guest appearance to avoid spoiling the surprise — other than to say it revolves around Rory's (Alexis Bledel) 21st birthday. "We wanted it to be somebody Rory would idolize," she says.

I never watch the show so I didn't realize Miss Bledel plays a mentally challenged girl. In light of this, Halfbright is perfect for a cameo.

In a season of big goings-on — mom Lorelai's (Lauren Graham) engagement to Luke (Scott Patterson) and a Lorelai-Rory rift — Sherman-Palladino says it's a bonus to get another big non-Hollywood guest. The series, now in its sixth season, has attracted author Norman Mailer and U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., in previous seasons. Who else would she like to get?

"Christiane Amanpour" of CNN, she says. "I've had her on my list for years."

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.
