Okay, just to get a touch serious. The Vatican. Full of guys (and a few girls) with doctorates in theology, ministry, philosophy, etc., etc. (when you’re celibate, you’ve got a lot of time to collect those advanced degrees) and this is the best they could come up with ?

Stock 'em in Hot Topic and they'd be flying out the door.

“It's people like you what causes unrest."

Certainly not.

My oldest son told me something that's stuck with me: "Don't eat nutrients . . . eat food."

Defending the lemon juice and cayenne pepper. I have a glass of tea with those ingredients in it occasionally. Not a cleanse, but it wakes me up and energizes me better than caffeine.

What does the “world’s only superpower” do when one of it’s “allies” acts with such egregious brutality ? Well ? We’re waiting ?

“Obviously this is correct because we all know the only reason Hollywood is dominated by white men is because white men are the only creative people on Earth who know how to make films real, real good.”

This goes right on my to-read list, exactly like the kind of book I like. Stories of disaster or apocalypse are overdone and tired. I’m interested in what happens after.

This is the thing that gets me: used to be Christians defined martyrdom as being thrown to lions, torn apart with hot pincers, etc. etc. And the martyrs of history didn’t stop until they were dead.

I believe that's her son, who also works at the office. He's not Jared yet, but considering his probably upbringing, he most likely will be. Be patient.

The rehab will continue because we won’t bring those in power to justice. The powerful in this country, be it a matter of family, money or political power, protect their own.
