“Homosexuals,” the Pope continued “are the reason that you can’t find a gawddamn condo in West LA for less than $500,000. So don’t even freakin’ think about Westwood or Santa Monica—that ship has sailed. You’re gonna end up living in Fullerton or Chatsworth, and all because of SODOMITES!”

it is no wonder PM is even less popular in israel than GW is here.

the left and center left inside israel has always supported a two state solution, and israelis, but for some reason the US continues to support the most hawkish of goverments and the most reactonary policies including the settler program which is nothing more than some religious fanatics' vision of land that is theirs by god's command.

Is there really much difference?

I hope these people are either blowing hot air, or they don't know the first thing about who McCain really is. This could change once Democrats focus their money on exposing him. The crapfest known as the media has done everything in their power to ignore his flaws and his ignorance on important issues, while citing his status as a 'maverick' and a 'straight talker' and pretending they weren't the ones to brand him as such in the first place.

You guys think the media is giving Hillary or Obama the coronation? Wrong. It's McCain.

I feel so very sorry for the Catholic Church and the poor poor Pope.

Fuck those money grubbing children!

'Therefore it was a state that was intentionally secular. It was the exact opposite of state religion, but it was secular out of love for religion and for an authenticity that can only be lived freely.'"
