No, not those Lesbians. The real Lesbians who live on the Greek island of Lesbos. They are suing to have a homosexual group remove the term "Lesbian" from its name in what is likely to be a fruitless effort to disassociate their name from female homosexuals. The island got their reputation from the ancient poet Sappho, who wrote of passionate love between women.
I wonder if someone might try to start a group in Lesbos called "Lesbian Lesbians".

The Brazilian navy has called off their search for the "balloon priest" (see earlier entries). There are still some people searching for him but the chances of finding him alive are "remote".
The balloon priest is missing. A cluster of balloons was found floating in the ocean. He was prepared for a lot of things but apparently not for falling into the ocean. You'd think he'd at least have worn a life jacket. They've lost contact with him, and boats are searching for him (or his body). He did report that he would be unable to make the flight.
Maggie Gallagher has an excellent opinion piece on Planned Parenthood highlighting their recent exposure for accepting donations for aborting black babies and instructing underage children how to avoid reporting laws. Good to see this covered in the mainstream press.

A priest in Brazil who took off under a cluster of helium balloons is missing off the coast. No word as to whether he carried a BB gun, but he did carry a parachute.
A guy tried to do this in the US many years ago with a lawn chair (he did bring a BB gun) but ran afoul of air traffic control laws. He survived the trip but met a sad and untimely death.
Most Americans are pleased with the pope. I think that's a good sign given the way the media instilled fear of him when he was elected. (Wouldn't it be nice to just once see a headline that says, "Media wrong about pope"?) The article also has some other good poll numbers, though some as reported are uselessly vague ("An overwhelming majority of Catholic believe Christ is present in the Eucharist").
A "Roman Catholic museum" (whatever that is) in Austria briefly displayed an etching that portrayed Jesus and his disciples having an orgy at the Last Supper. Some are comparing it to the cartoons of Mohammad (indeed apparently there were threats issued) but I'd argue there is no comparison between drawing a cartoon of someone and portraying them in an orgy. (Not that this justifies violence.) What I want to know is how it got into the museum in the first place?
