Here is your very own score card.

I just installed Haloscan comments. That means all other comments made using the blogger comments software were deleted. Sorry. Deal with it.

But according to CNN..:

“…there has never been a Jesuit pope. Indeed, the word ‘Jesuit’ has at times been used as a pejorative suggesting a scheming politico and reflects a long-standing distrust of the church’s most intellectual and freethinking of orders.”

Wow, intellectual and freethinking. Heaven forbid. They taught me to logically question blind dogmatism and conformity.

I personally owe them a lot. If it weren’t for the Jesuits, I’d probably be a practicing Catholic.

Not that my opinion matters, but I nominate James Brown for Pope.

Jake: The band… the band…
Reverend Cleophus James: DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?
Jake: THE BAND.
Reverend Cleophus James: DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?
Elwood: What light?
Reverend Cleophus James: HAVE YOU SEEEEN THE LIGHT?
Jake: YES. YES. JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST… I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.

These days, German youths don’t just act “cool,” they are also “gestylt,” “designt” and find things “super easy.”  A German brewery markets “the Beck’s experience.” Even Germany’s most venerable TV news program, the Tagesschau, talks about “jobs” rather than Arbeitsplätze, “statements” rather than Stellungnahmen and “Erfolgsstorys” rather than Erfolgsgeschichten.

I’m curious as to what goes on at The Great Ding-Dong Festival.
