We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

And it involves someone walking into a lamppost! Free slapstick!

I was just in meeting with a person who said "Oh we never reject applications. We just bury them under bureaucratic requirements until they withdraw in defeat." God, I love working for government. t /headdesk

So, that super-conservative new archbishop for San Francisco:

The Roman Catholic archbishop-elect of San Francisco was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, San Diego police said Monday.

The Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, a vigorous supporter of California’s same-sex marriage ban, was taken into custody after being stopped early Saturday at a checkpoint near the San Diego State University campus, said Detective Gary Hassen, a police spokesman. He declined to comment on whether Cordileone took a sobriety test.

Prince of a man, clearly.
