Pope Condemns Scientology

Pope slammed the Church of Scientology for being "nothing more than an attempt to extract money from the dim witted." The Pontiff went on to announce that Scientology offered "the promise of an afterlife, based on nothing more than fiction." He concluded Sunday mass by demanding that the US revoke The Church of Scientology's tax exempt status- "these tricketsers are so rich because they demand followers donate their earnings in order to secure a place in the afterlife- just once I'd wish they'd indulge me and prove to me that they weren't just taking the money and using it to enhance themselves. What's worse is that they are now trying to spread their message through use of food to starving peoples of the world. I'm sure Scientology does some good but why do they have to tie it back to donating money and buying stupid accessories to indulge in nothing more than live action role playing game?"

Inside sources say the Pope was angry because a picture depicting him defalcating in the forest had recently published to internet site tmz.com

First round, Australian Open, Justine Henin draws Sania Mirza.

Mirza has dropped to 145 in the world rankings "because of her chronic wrist problems". Yeah, she's not alone...



Henin used to have "Hardenne" affixed. I know that feeling

One bloke is a teacher in the States
One bloke from London who seems to have the lot (tics, ecolalia, coprolalia and so forth)
Another Brit who also is a lesbian who somehow wasn't diagnosed until her 30s

The two Brits were essentially fucked in the UK, went to the States and she's now an overpaid (well, she's a bigwig and she sells air for a living) advertising exec while he got a job with the US Postal Service (thereby being sane and looking mental among an organisation staffed by the mental who look sane). Both found partners over there. The bloke in particular would be stuck in a bedsit in a rotting parka getting the shit kicked out of him every time he ventures to Tesco in this country. In the US he has a defined duty in work, trains people and has a wife.

The teacher wins "Teacher of the Year" and what happens? A school in the UK invites him over to talk to them about disability awareness.

A bit fucking late, I think. It is a shocking state of affairs if this country has to take a lead off the fucking septics, the most morally bankrupt nation in the world, as well. The irony...
