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

From The Your Hard Earned Money Flushed Down The Federal Toilet Department:

ExpectMore.gov is a service of U.S. Office of Management and Budget and other federal agencies designed to "assess the performance of every Federal program and hold ourselves accountable for improvement." Sadly, even after a program has been deemed "ineffective" or "results not demonstrated" for decades it cannot be eliminated because there is always one pinhead in congress using that program to buy votes back home. That's what we in America call democracy.

You can search by keyword or topic, view a list of performing or nonperforming programs, or browse by a specific area.

Here is the all too small nonperforming section:

NOT PERFORMING PROGRAMS



WHAT DOES NOT PERFORMING MEAN?
The program rating indicates how well a program is performing, so the public can see how effectively tax dollars are being spent. ExpectMore.gov tells you whether or not a program is performing.


Programs categorized as NOT PERFORMING have ratings of Ineffective or Results Not Demonstrated.

Ineffective. Programs receiving this rating are not using your tax dollars effectively. Ineffective programs have been unable to achieve results due to a lack of clarity regarding the program's purpose or goals, poor management, or some other significant weakness.

Results Not Demonstrated. A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
Based on our most recent assessments, 28% of Federal programs are Not Performing.

Only 28%?

More information on how we assess and rate programs is available here. Funding information for each program can be found with the President's Budget.

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.
