last catholic standing in staten island* - *nyc – a rant
 |
| (photo op) - Abp.Timothy Dolan visits South Beath, Staten Island, NYC, Nov 17 12 |
A fork in the road...
So a depraved and decadent nation, including a majority of nominal
Catholics, re-elected Nero to a second term. Now that they can't count on a
deus ex machina in the form of a President Romney saving them from the
consequences of their decades-long collaboration with Democratic evil, the big
question is what the bishops are going to do about the Health Care
contraceptive mandate. Are they going to stand up like men or will they lie
down like lambs? Are they going to compromise with evil or are they going to
lead our church in civil disobedience to this vile regime and its attempt to
make Catholics pay for what is sinful and loathsome? The next four years will
undoubtedly be horrific, but fidelity and martyrdom always produce great fruit
for Christ's Church.

Karl Rove’s 2012 Election Train Wreck or "Karl Rove Jumps the Shark"
It was downright amusing to see Karl Rove trying to tell Fox News on election night that some phantom votes in Ohio were yet to be reported and that Fox News could not call the election.
No doubt Karl was blacked out on liquor and reliving Ohio 2004.
In any case they say he personally made 30-50 million commission off of the rich billionaires 400 million invested with his consulting firm and dedicated to swaying the 2012 elections on every level with expensive negative ads and contributions to tea baggers.
The lame excuse by Karl post-election that Obama had somehow “suppressed” the vote was pure icing on the cake of GOP delusional bullshit.
The one trick monkey Rove who has been getting monkeys elected to office for close to twenty years has finally Jumped the Shark – a TV term when a program can longer get any good ratings even if the star like “Fonzie” goes all the way to Los Angeles in the TV sitcom Happy Days to water ski and literally jump the shark. Thumbs down.
The Karl Rove Show starring Karl Rove I think has finally been cancelled. LOL
Will somebody please tell him. And escort him out of the building.

Order of Saint Gregory to be Awarded to Bill Donohue over at Catholic League?
Rumors, from the American Vatican, the Pink Palace at 452 Madison Avenue NYC, have plans for Bill to receive the fabulously coveted Catholic Media Toady Award from the pope also known as the Order of Saint Gregory.
“The order is bestowed on Catholic men and women … in recognition of their personal service to the Holy See and the Church, unusual labors, support of the Holy See, and the good example set in their communities and country.” -- Wikipedia
This to compensate Bill for not receiving a
promised American Order of Freedom that a President Romney would have awarded Donohue,
on rubber stamped orders and or request from the Pink Palace BTW.
No wonder Bill’s Racist remarks about terrorists,
community organizers and Eric Holder came as part of his post-election day reaction
to the re-election and victory of the good of secular power of Obama over the forces of closeted
evil that Bill so willingly serves and is handsomely compensated for I might add.
The Order of Saint Gregory was also awarded to Sir Jimmy Savile of BBC fame for his personal services, pimping perhaps, for the “Holy”See
of Pope John Paul the Second. Jimmy is currently dead and under many scurrilous rumors about his holy catholic private life.
Congrats Bill if this rumor is true. Nobody
deserves it more. Who next for the Catholic Media Toady papal honor? Raymond
Arroyo?
And Bill, don’t forget to wear the special knee breeches of a Papal Knight of St.Gregory to the papal ceremony.

Karl Rove a Winner with Millions in his pocket from 2012 Election
Considering all the billions Trump, Adelson and the Koch Brothers
stuffed into Karl Rove’s pockets to steal our democracy, has any of these
morons every heard of a basic law of Economics – The Law of Diminishing Returns
–
whereby no matter how much you spend or how many people to add to your
production line to produce a product like Rove, you cannot increase the
results (period).
Bullshit at a dollar a pound is no different than bullshit that sells for a hundred dollars a pound in a boutique on Park Avenue. It is still just bullshit.
The law of diminishing returns (also law of diminishing marginal returns or law of increasing relative cost) states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant ("ceteris paribus"), will at some point yield lower per-unit returns. The law of diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production, a condition known as negative returns, though in fact this is common. ~~~ Wikipedia

Papal Knight Jimmy Savile First Annual Circumcised Pickle Award for Gall to Bill Donohue at Catholic League
Bill has, I have lost track of the number of non-paid intern written
essays published against the New York Times over at the CL, trying to cover-up John
Paul II and his consuming love of all things Pedophile, avoid the Truth about that pope, to blame
the BBC instead and by extension the new head of the NYT, that the BBC never ratted out
British Royal and Papal Knighted Sir Jimmy Savile when both the Queen and the
Pope gave him their royal seals of approval.
Too bad the victims of this pedophile king/ring cannot sue both Buck
House and the Vatican for their perverted seal of approval to this dead media toady scumbag.
Where is customer service these days? The Hague?
Gall – Definiton – Source: Free
Dictionary dot Com
1. See bile.
2. a. Bitterness of feeling; rancor. b. Something bitter
to endure: the gall of defeat.
3. Outrageous
insolence; effrontery.

Help Needed - Staten Island - Hurricane Sandy
I ran into this help site for Staten Island.
https://statenisland.recovers.org/
The Borough President of Staten Island says to boycott American Red Cross
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/02/staten-island-red-cross-hurricane-sandy_n_2065209.html
Staten Island Hit Hard by Hurricane Sandy
A lot of damage to the plywood based houses on the South Shore.
Living next to the ocean has its hazards. A lot of housing on the south shore
by the ocean should have been left nature preserves or swamps and never built
on IMHO.
They just turned the electricity on about sixteen hours ago here. We were out of luck for 68 hours in this
little pocket on the north shore of Staten Island, the many times forgotten fifth borough of "New York City".
The two streets in an island of other areas
that came back sooner after a day or two was because a lot of big old houses on
these two streets have 130 year old oaks that were supposed to be taken down by
owners in the last year or two but did not or could not trim or remove
older trees.
Kind of expensive if you are retired and appear to be well to do
living in a big old house. I live in an apartment complex surrounded by the shabby
chic of yesteryear glory in an old neighborhood.
Twenty three trees bit the dust on these two streets. First the cut
downs, then cutting up the trees, non-stop roar of wood chippers, the inspections, minor repairs, priority of Con Edison personnel in
not being called elsewhere etc. The Ferry is still not working, no electricity in St.
George at the moment.
No rioting but some looting at a nearby Lowe’s and Kohl’s right after the storm.
Kudos to
NYPD on catching some of the perps.
Was able to buy candles at Lowe’s on Tuesday morning for cash, cash
registers down with the electricity.
Was surprised they printed this.
About a mile from here.
Some running by my son back and forth to places to recharge cells
and lap top and try to make deadlines with college homework, the college only
open yesterday, today public schools open.
We got ice and the meat in the freezer stayed frozen enough to think
it is still good. Water was on and gas in the stove, pilot light intact.
Candles, a transistor radio and started to
write the first two chapters of a long threatened novel.
Someone I know spent three hours in line for
a tank of gas last night after going to five closed stations. Some skank was hanging
around the line offering gallon cans of gasoline at $60 dollars a pop.
All in all we were quite lucky. Compared to what I hear about
Jersey.
The infrastructure and planning in the nineteenth century for a
twenty-first century New York City SUCKS in the age of global warming and or
climate change.
Trillions of dollars of over-inflated obsolete skyscrapers returning
to the primordial swamp etc. in downtown Manhattan. Not a good investment
friends.
Be well guys. Civilization is
indeed a thin veneer.

Romney to stop Jeep Production from going to China - Bainsourcing to be Reversed
“I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep — now owned by the Italians — is thinking of moving all production to China,” Romney said at a rally in Defiance, Ohio, home to a General Motors powertrain plant. “I will fight for every good job in America. I’m going to fight to make sure trade is fair, and if it’s fair America will win.”
If there is a profit in it - Romney's soul is for sale - and he is as good as his word. Yeah right.

Michael “Smithers” Winters – Nat'l Catholic Reporter – Quote of the Day Oct 22 – Re: Election Year Chaput style “Catholic Conscience”
 |
| Michael "Smithers" Winters, National Catholic Reporter - Abp. Charles Chaput |
"Just remember. When you are on your death bed, the Democratic Party is not going to send someone to be there with you and help you get ready to cross the abyss. And, even if they did send someone, it would not be someone you would want!" I have my areas of disagreement with Archbishop Chaput, but I commend him unreservedly for his repeated insistence that we Catholics put our faith first. And, if we do so, partisans on both sides have plenty to think about.

Lord Bichard, House of Lords, wants Pensioners to Do Community Work for No Pay or dock their Old Age Pensions in Britain
 |
| Lord Bichard |
Maybe the Brits can feed the old to the Queen's corgies etc.
Something bloody useful. Right Lord Bichard?
No doubt Franklin Graham has promises
from Mitt Romney to use old people on Social Security to work for nothing in
Graham's tax-free "Christian" Charity Rackets.
The sentiment to such obscene treatment of the old already has a
champion in the British House of Lords who retired from government with an
obscene government pension over $150,000 per year in USD value and now he has the
nerve to try and marshal the old to work for nothing doing community service
and charity work.
Maybe Lord Bitchard can take some
of his pension funds and invest in a dentist.
He said: “We are now prepared to say to people who are not looking for work, if you don’t look for work you don’t get benefits. So if you are old and you are not contributing in some way or another, maybe there is some penalty attached to that.”
Bichard also asked: “Are we using all the incentives at our disposal to encourage older people, not justto be a negative burden on the State but to actually be a positive part of society?”
The wealthy lord’s draconian scheme left pensioners’ groups seething.
Pau Ryan's War on Poverty and Inspiration for Upward Mobility
One of the memories from my youth was Lyndon Johnson’s War on
Poverty which he did as a diversion as they sent mostly poor and mostly black
people in the “draft” (without, too poor to afford, deferments) over to Vietnam
for the sake of General Motors’ profits and quarterly dividends.
I can remember a pre-class discussion in college among fellow
students back then how Lyndon Johnson or his wife Lady Bird held stock in a company that
made the infamous “tiger cages” to house and torture North Vietnamese Prisoners
of Wars. This of course for a profit etc. For profit is no sin – right?
In that great tradition of rich man politician Hypocrisy, Paul Ryan
has suddenly discovered the poor and the losing war on poverty. And no doubt to cover up public, not private,
guilt over Janna’s Petroleum Industry “Blind” trusts funds and perhaps too as a
cover for Ann Romney making millions
through “Elliott Associates” from taxpayer federal bailout money for the auto
industry in her “Blind Trust” etc,
- Paul Ryan has suddenly found the “Poor”
and is promising them “Upward Mobility” just like Jesus did in his day.
Paul Ryan / Mitt Romney / Ayn Rand Beatitudes:
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of welfare
– 47%.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be sold a $20,000 on
credit that they cannot afford funeral package for mom.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall pay my share of the taxes.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be given a “Truth” enema by FOX NEWS.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall be taken advantage of by
the hedge fund managers.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they are losers – no scratch,
cash – nada.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be assassinated by the
arms dealers and or droned on by the Military Industry Complex INC etc.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for tax sakes: for theirs is the kingdom and banking system
of the Cayman Islands.

National Republican Senate Committee Stands by "RAPE IS OK" as part of their Platform - Richard Mourdock Indiana Senate Race
 |
| Richard Mourdock - "Rape is OK" Republican Candidate for Senate in Indiana |
The chair of the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is standing by Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock after he said pregnancies resulting from rape are “something that God intended to happen.”
“Richard and I, along with millions of Americans – including even Joe Donnelly – believe that life is a gift from God,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn said in a statement Wednesday. “To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous. In fact, rather than condemning him for his position, as some in his party have when it’s come to Republicans, I commend Congressman Donnelly for his support of life.”
