    Well, it's my birthday. I'm 28. I is what I is.

    So far, today has been a busy day. My sister is home early. There's a lot going on with her that I don't want to go into. Let's just say it's life altering, and it's altering everybody's life. While that's going on, my job is to watch my nephew during the day. He's off with her for a few minutes. With her around, or his dad, my nephew is on twelve.

    CBS has pulled their mini-series about Ronald Reagan, giving it to Showtime. This is good because you can't ever say anything negative about Ronald Reagan. He is, after all, our best golden calf. Does the mini-series say anything negative about Reagan? I don't know. And neither do all the folks bitching about it. They haven't seen it either.

    Last night, I watched "Jesus, Mary, and Da Vinci." It was pretty cool. There was a lot of controversy around this program, most from folks who haven't seen it. On by the way, Pat Buchanan is an idiot. But you probably already knew that.

    "Jesus, Mary, and Da Vinci" explored the notion that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife and that they had a child. I've often thought Jesus and Mary were married. See, there are other things besides the Bible the Catholic Church okayed for us out there. For example, the Gospel of St. Thomas, Philippe, and Mary Magdalene, all ordered destroyed around the 4th century by an Archbishop. Why? Fear perhaps. Maybe it had something to do the fact most of it said you don't need a church because Jesus is everywhere, not in a special building. Or maybe it had a lot to do with the fact that those gospels said Jesus loved Mary the most and told her things the he didn't tell his apostles. According to the Gospel of St. Thomas, the apostles and Mary even argued about this.

    The child of Jesus and Mary was, according to this and that, named Sara. Mary and Sara, after the crucifixion of Jesus, relocated to France. It gets better. The Holy Grail? The Cup of Christ? That was Mary according to some. The Knights of the Templar were to protect the Holy Grail and the Family of Jesus.

    Da Vinci's Last Supper supposedly holds hidden messages. They don't look all that hidden to me. To Jesus' right you're supposed to see John, a young man. Look again. One of Da Vinci's students painted John later, but oddly enough, made him out to be a woman. Look at John again, it's not John. It's Mary.

    The Last Supper

    Oh how could I suggest such a thing? Just look and have an open mind.

    Close up of John/Mary

    I don't think it's John. Leonardo Da Vinci painted Mary on Jesus' right. Later, one of Da Vinci's students painted the same person as a woman, same face, same hair, same everything.

    Was Mary Jesus' wife? Maybe. Did Jesus have a child? Maybe. Is that a sin? Nope. Even the Catholic Church admits that Jesus having a wife and child would not affect his divinity.

    Oh, Mary was not a prostitute according to the Bible. There is a prostitute that Jesus heals mentioned right above the introduction of Mary in the bible. The Catholic Church admits that she's not a prostitute, but they're the ones who started the rumor in the first place, another archbishop but this time in the 5th century. It seemed at the time, she was more popular than their men priests. Ixnay on the womanay.
