MIAMI (AFP) - Welcome to Florida, but avoid arguments or thanks to a new law you run the risk of getting shot, according to an ad campaign launched by a gun-control group. The campaign coincides with a state law that enters into effect authorizing gun owners to shoot anyone in a public area who they believe threaten their safety.
The Vatican starts its latest inquisition, a nationwide "manhunt" for hom0sexuals in the American priesthood, at a seminary in St. Louis (Sept. 25-29). According to the Vatican, hom0sexuals are "intrinsically disordered." (Sept.26 Story from St. Louis).

Observing the custom of eating apple in honey for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish holiday of the New Year, has always been a challenge for Rabbi T. as Winnie the Pooh would find and devour his honey supply on a regular basis. The photo above contains seven clues pointing to Rabbi T’s Jewish identity. Inspired by: Rosh Hashanah Starts 10-Day Jewish Holiday
