Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I swear, I'm never going to work again.

I'm killing time in the library while my car gets smogged by doing what? Surfing the web.

Sheesh. Read a book, woman.

Always Anti-fascist!

JenP, thanks for enjoying my catty gum remark. The posters on a board I used to hang out in did not so much. They took my irreverence for disrespect.

Art Crawl!!!

What date was the comic?

(Because I was sent to one about being a woman.)

ETA: saw punchline, couldn't find alt text.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I was listening to BBC last night and my understanding of the Holocaust denier bishop fiasco is that there was a group of bishops who were ordained (?) without the blessing of the pope, and so they were excommunicated..

This pope is trying to bring all the-I don't know what you call them- renegade sects? back into the fold. So, he wholesale welcomed this particular group back without knowing the holocaust denier's beliefs.

You put your mouse over the comic and get a box with more text. The text today is about the inauguration, but I don't get the connection with being a woman either.

I figure the pope is being more concerned with managing Catholics than worrying about what the rest of the world is thinking.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So, he wholesale welcomed this particular group back without knowing the holocaust denier's beliefs.

He had to have known. My officemate, when he heard that the people from this particular group were bring brought back in, responded with, "Oh, that crazy Holocaust-denial guy is going to get in the news with this one." If random American Catholic knows, then the Pope knows.

Punishingly Intricate

His point is that he would have effed up giving the oath even worse than Roberts did.
