Good one, erika! Popes, man.

Good luck, as always, Consuela.

I wish to report that I feel very put together today: black patent flats, black tights, plaid shift (that has been too tight since I bought it but today fir perfectly), and pink fuzzy cardigan. I went with a pink purse to match the sweater, which I am now second guessing.

BUt I left my lunch on the kitchen counter. Fortunately, that is only 5 minutes from work.

I brought lunch in, forgetting that we get free lunch if I go to the micro-manager's retirement.

My sample of 1 is...inconclusive.

Darn, I thought you were the best one to speak to that issue.

Well, I think some women are hot, but I thought that *before* I came around to the idea of a guy in a dress. So I got it a little backwards. (Also, there's still really only one guy in a dress I find hot, so my research methodology is questionable at best.)

Here's a suggestion for the pope (and this is unsolicited and I don't seek payment, but this suggestion is a WINNER).

Why don't you take care of pedophilia culture in the Catholic Church as your number one priority? If you focused all of your attention on that, your legacy will be secure, lasting, as will your place in heaven.

Once that situation is fixed, then we can talk about the feminists.

Thanks.

Great idea, le n. Unfortunately, there's a school of thought in the Catholic church that blames the pedophilia scandal on gay men. Coming out of the closet, demanding equal protection under the law, all that sort of thing -- it supposedly made the priests think that pedophilia was okay. So by that way of thinking, cultural conservatism is the path to ending pedophilia.

No, I don't get the logic either. But it's there.

The "too bashful" one is priceless.

Fred,

There is no logic to that argument when such abuse has been going on for centuries though.
