And in China, although they're split between Catholics who recognize the Pope's authority and Catholics who get bishops appointed by the government.
... which makes me wonder how this scandal is playing in China: it's a great opportunity for the government-approved version of the church to try to gain supporters.
I am home and I have caved and turned the heat back on because it's cold and wet outside. And now I think I shall take pie crust out of the freezer. And watch last night's Supernatural.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am getting the Grey's love back, little by little. I've decided that McSteamy is a total woobie.
From way back -- Aims, I've decided it's because of the lack of Izzy.

When they took off the no-copy dealie. Edit: Unless it's happened again? I don't buy much off there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Roomba Cat Returns For Easter (VIDEO)
You remember Roomba Cat, right? That badass kitty who achieved fame and (hopefully) fortune for joyriding on a Roomba and slapping a pitbull. Yeah, he was great. And now he's back, and sifting through Easter eggs, and of course, slapping a pitbull.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wonder if a big coverup would work in a country/region where you don't have at least a good-sized Roman Catholic minority or the church doesn't have much power/prestige/property in the culture.
Like in Viet Nam. Unless there is disproportionate political influnce (which there well could be) I don't know if 6.62% of the population feeling pressured so keep quiet/see the church as all-powerful is going to allow for abusive priests to be shuffled from parish to parish for a couple of decades without local authorities actually prosecuting anybody (which, of course, is a big part of how they got away with it). Abusers could certainly be gotten out of the country of course.
Philippines, on the other hand, 80%. Yeah, all hell could break loose.

Record labels now have the option of selling their songs at higher prices. So theoretically, the hits cost more.

Not Hec, and super-late, but I add green olives to Perfect Manhattans and the salt nicely offsets the sweetness of the whiskey and the sweet vermouth. I'm thinking that's the same idea here, especially since Rose's still had sugar instead of HFCS in it at that point. It'd be worth trying with real lime juice, vodka, sugar, and an olive.
Huh. Might have to try that. I tried some new cocktails tonight at dinner. One was pear vodka with St. Germaine and a splash of sour. Little bit sweet but nice. The restaurant was doing garlic month so the second was an Old Ginger Tom gin martini with garlic and ginger. Not bad. Then I had something with Hendrick's gin, lillet and absinthe. Sublime.
