POP HAZMAT HEADLINE DU JOUR: Pope Admits Existence of “Gay Lobby” in Vatican. posted by JONATHAN KIERAN (by way of NPR)

In a surprising display of outside-the-box tolerance, the Vatican tapped some of the world’s most FABULOUS designers to create its spectacular new “gay lobby.” Pope Francis revealed the lobby’s existence in a recent meeting with reporters. “It’s true, it’s there,” said the pontiff. “We have to see what we can do about it.”

RUDIMENTARY ANALYSIS: This bodes well for a “Twihard Café” next to the Sistine Chapel in the near future.

EXISTENTIAL RAMIFICATIONS: If the Vatican is offering special architectural amenities to accommodate the diverse demographics of its visitors, one must consider this a sign of progress.

TAKE-AWAY QUOTE: “There’s talk of the ‘gay lobby’ and it’s true it’s there. We have to see what we can do about it.” (Pope Francis, June 11, 2013)

Watch the Rowan Blaize Book Trailer HERE.

Book One = The magical cornerstone – a lavishly illustrated epic narrative poem … a genuine “spell” for the young and young-at-heart to treasure for a lifetime, telling the story of sorcerer Rowan Blaize’s battle to regain his magic powers. (Think Beowulf-meets-Dr.Seuss or an epic story-in-verse of a scope similar to Tolkien’s soon-to-be-released The Fall of Arthur, only contemporary.)

Book Two = The rip-roaring novel that continues the adventures of Rowan Blaize and introduces the three hilarious witches of the Ancient City, along with its dysfunctional werewolves, wraiths, ghosts, vampires, dryads, banshees and a beauty pageant brat that just might destroy the world.

Book Three = The next novel that finds Rowan trapped by a spell in another world, caught between a faery-squashing sorceress who’ll stop at nothing to conquer the kingdom … and a feisty teenage prince who’s determined to get it back.
