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

Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes, the 2006 Stanley Cup winners!

I didn't have a horse in this race after my Penguins were eliminated in October and the Sabres lost to Carolina in the Conference Finals, but I was leaning toward the Oilers. Sorry, Edmonton.

AP: Carolina Hurricanes win Stanley Cup
A couple of low-scoring Carolina defensemen put Edmonton's comeback on ice and Cam Ward stopped nearly everything that came his way, giving the Hurricanes their first NHL championship with a 3-1 victory over the Oilers on Monday night.

More congrats to:

The Edmonton Oilers for a heck of a run.

Those noisy Carolina fans.

Those noisy Edmonton fans.

Cam Ward, a rookie goalie, for winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP.

NBC for the HD and the best annoucing team in sports, Mike Emrick and John Davidson. (Too bad you didn't broadcast more games.)

To the NHL, for coming back strongly. Don't worry about the tv ratings. Hockey fans and real sports fans know how great your game is.

Extra Special Congratulations:

To the Edmonton fans who finished singing the last two stanzas of their national anthem after the hired singer stopped and held his microphone aloft before Game Six. (Nota bene: This happened in western Canada, kiddies.) I wish something like that could happen in the good ol' US of A.

About Me

My photo
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.
