I saw an article this morning talking about how outraged the Catholics are at a picture of the Pope painting Christ or something. (Maybe he’s sculpting those religious abs.) Whatever, the point is why not just turn the other cheek? How does that saying go? What Would Jesus Do? Would Jesus flaunt around making a big deal about this? No, probably not. If he was smart the Pope would get out on his little balcony, mumble a few words and then start laughing.
That’s right, the Pope should just laugh it off. The more you bitch about something the more people will start to wonder if maybe there’s something else you’re trying to make up for. It’s like gay people. They still think they have to march up and down the street declaring their sexuality when in reality the rest of the planet doesn’t care.
“Oh, you’re gay? So what, whoopidy shit, no one cares but you.”
“Someone painted a picture of the Pope? Whoopidy shit, no one cares but the Catholics.”
And on one final note, is this really what’s making the Catholics look bad? Alter boys anyone?

I’m currently missing 9 potential pages of content. That’s quite a lot. The other thing, (which you can argue is the same as the first), is my picture gallery. I’m using an open source gallery appropriately named Gallery and the load times on the images are slow. I’m not sure if it is the size of the images, my hosting plan’s bandwidth or Gallery itself, but I decided to do it all by hand for now. I will admit this process is time consuming, but the images load faster. I end up sacrificing features for usability, at least until I can do more testing on the newer version on Gallery.
