I really just not watch the news anymore

So the pope says being gay/abortion still wrong but the church needs to chill on the subject (you know don't talk about it so much and it will go away, sounds like they've tried that method before) and Iran's new President says "i'm no historian" when asked about the Holocaust. Which sadly is much better than the previous regime's "those zionist pigs control hollywood and propoganda" take (no Mel Gibson was not the president of Iran, just a coincidence) Wow what progress we are making!! At least crazy people can't just go get a gun with little to no background check, right? We did do something there right?  Although clearly background checks need not be done by the government (especially the Navy - too soon el lrez and mr v.p.?!!) thankfully we have beer and liqour and other vices...
