15 Funny and True Facts
I didn’t have time to fact-check all of these claims, and I think their concept of “funny” differs from mine, but I did get a surprise or two. Example 1: In a 2008 survey, 58% of British teens thought that Sherlock Holmes was a real person. On top of that,…
The longest nude careers
Thanks to everyone who researched this topic (see the comments section) 1. The span between Stefanie Powers’ first and last scenes was 50 years (1970-2020, ages 28-78), despite a late start. She probably has the longest gap between nude scenes, 44 years between Little Moon and The Artist’s Wife. 1….
20 of The Most Influential Images of All Time
Just the usual bland list, but I enjoyed the memories. We all know that I’m a total wuss, but I still shed a tear or two every time I see the picture of John-John saluting his father’s funeral cortege. Share via: Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn More
J D Vance heard whistling nonchalantly a safe distance away
Fuck that piece of shit. At least the Pope never fucked a couch and made a massive mess of it. R.I.P. Popa. You made this lapsed Catholic a believer for a while.
I was never a Catholic, but I believed in Pope Francis. We won’t see the likes of him again.
We know Vance didn’t have anything to do with the Pope’s demise because there is no way that Postin’ Pete could have missed the chance to share the plot in Signal chat.
Well, if it came up during the gin ‘n’ Brylcream hour, Pete could have been busy and missed it.
Of all the popes in my lifetime, he was the popiest.
I wonder Trump will send Vance back to meet with the Conclave and demand that the Camerlengo be appointed the new Pope.
Why stop there? There is no requirement to be ELECTED to the papacy other than that the electee must be an unmarried, male, baptized Catholic. He would have to be ordained priest and bishop (if he is not one already) before ASSUMING the papacy, because the Pope is also the Bishop of Rome.
Of course the first pope was a Jewish fisherman, and many non-priests have been elected Pope.
Benedict IX had been a layman, and was not yet 21 years old.
Giovanni de’ Medici, son of the famous Lorenzo, also got the fast track to the priesthood. He was elected pope on March 9 as a layman, was ordained a priest on the 13th, and consecrated a bishop on the 15th. He received the papal crown as Leo X on the 19th. He wasn’t great at the job. In fact, he was so bad that he did more than any other pope to weaken the primacy of Catholicism among Christian believers. He almost caused the downfall of Catholicism by his unfettered and shameless marketing of indulgences, a major impetus for Martin Luther’s “95 Theses,” which was written and published during his papacy.
The point here is that JD Vance can be elected Pope if his marriage is annulled! In the tradition of Leo X, he could do for Catholicism what MAGA has done for America. Moreover, as Pope he could infallibly command the six Catholics on the Supreme Court to bow to his will or be excommunicated.
If Trump were to pass from this realm, JD would then be Pope and President –
Make the Holy Roman Empire Great Again!
