Sooooo true!!!! My strict, daily Mass attending Irish Catholic mother is an expert in wanton and deliberate obliviousness.

Indeed. Ferengi are good capitalists who try to figure out a profitable angle in every situation, not whiners who cry over every little change in policy or who go into a selling panic at the slightest bad news.

This is still a ridiculous statement. Sorry. Your test of purity means that all causes forever will be lost. I choose to see the good in this pope. I am neither a Catholic nor even a religious person, but I know a good guy when I see one. It's your prerogative, of course, to accept what you say as "truth". However, it is not my truth.

Oh my Gawd. A screenshot from Calgary Television. That's as un'Marikun as a commercial of a Dodge Challenger built in Canada, filmed in Germany waving an 'Marikun flag made in China during the Super Bowl. TIMES TEN!!1!

I'm sure the Koch brothers, Inhofe, etc. are preparing the pope some 'special' tea even as we speak....Boehner looked like he was ready to go outside and guzzle the gasoline out of the pope mobile if someone didn't bring him his flask, stat.

The pope references 'building bridges' well, that makes for a better metaphor than our recent collapsing bridges which as total happenstance coincide with the now four decades long eviscerating of our public works budget to fund tax cuts for the rich. Just total happenstance....

So the pope can't count on getting one from Clarence Thomas with the mystery hair stuck to it? But that was all part of the fun, figuring out where that hair came from!

Wingnut and the Wingnut-Adjacent are tripping over themselves "he said 'Life' right? 'Life?' so he totally means NO ABORTIONS. You heard it. Totally said it."
