Sinead O’Connor twice as popular as the next pope – news at 11

Sinead has come a long way from Saturday Night Live.

Whenever there is a new RC scandal, I get lot of hits on my Who will be the Next Pope? article.

http://thisculturalchristian.blogspot.com/2010/03/who-will-be-next-pope.html

But outpacing the next old codger in drag, no matter what the latest crime in Rome, Boston, the Netherlands, Philadelphia or Kansas City, is the ever popular Sinead O’Connor – First Prophet of the New Age.

Boycott Bigoted Lowe’s Retail Chain – and all Neanderthal Knuckle Dragging Florida Christians*

In the ongoing knuckle dragging far right Christian* war on all non-whites and non-christians, the Muslim community in Detroit shot back on Saturday to boycott bigotry loving Lowe’s.

Hundreds protest outside Lowe's after store pulls ads from Muslim reality show:

And sad to say the above source is British – not a white Chirstian A-merican Newspaper online.

This is how the world see us and the Bush/Cheney inbred idiot’$ war on Islam – lost age of American Islamophobia- of sanctioned American medieval hate.

Trinity Church Tax Free Commercial Property more Important than People? – Duarte Square New York – Occupy Wall Street

Bishop George Packard leads Occupy Wall Street into Trinity Church's empty lot - Duarte Square 6th Ave and Canal St. NYC

Trinity Church Wall Street, the second richest church in Christendom outside of St. Peter's in Rome, has the cooperation of the establishment to keep protesters off a tiny spec, portion of its tens of billions of dollars Manhattan Real Estate Portfolio. Duarte Square (triangle) two blocks from the entrance to the Holland Tunnel on the southern edge of Greenwich Village.

There is a battle brewing within the Episcopal Church between the progressives and the conservatives over whether to help the poor or to just sweep the rabble out with the morning trash.  A true microcosm of America today.  The 1% who own the planet and the 99% of the rest of us.

Christopher Hitchens – Voice of the Godless Corporations – dies on last day of his favored War in Iraq

In the race by so-called intellectuals to cash in on the untapped niche market of the current chaotic Atheist movement worldwide, Chris Hitchens captured his share of the gelt in that market.

His talents and classical British education were of course wasted on American culture.  But here is where the money was for this polished wordsmithy.

Some quotes from a legacy already melting quickly away into the woodwork.

"Invented People" = Zero - The New Global Equation For Genocide? - Newt Gingrich

I don't know about you, but for me, after a few days of reading MSM comments, it, this obscenity, blasphemy against humanity, still grates on my ears - the unchristian statement - reduction of millions of people = zero, this new global formula / equation to reduce the enemy, true object of your $100 million dollar annual lobbying budget in Washington DC, to nothing.  Planned Genocide to be - by any other name?

No matter what the ethnic billionaire oligarchs say through their catholic rent boys like Newt Gingrich, if we turn our backs on our Muslim brothers and sisters, we turn our backs on Jesus, or he turns his back on us like the above artwork implies.

Is this 1931 or 2011???

The only Catholic Church approved late term abortions - genocide? Surely Newt speaks for the USCCB, in their silence.  Please speak DEAR BISHOPS of all christian sects, if for nothing else than feigned moral objections to be recorded in the historic timeline footnotes ?

What next? Where are the great crematory ovens in the Middle East now being  built by Halliburton?

How do you spell Weimar Republic?

It’s all About Me! NEWT GINGRICH! – The man who stole civility from America in the Nineties and to this day

It's all about ME!

Plastic Phony- mean Spirited Republicanism is back. Thank Satan!

The man has to be the center of attention!

Any remark he makes has to be the most witty-ist in a room filled with other plastic mean spirited Republicans.  

Applause! Applause! Fawn! Fawn! Fawn!

Any third rate scholar's remark – polite B16 applause and respect.  (A wave to the little people)

All those millions of phony, angry, starving, cheated out of their humanity by Israel – “Invented People” Palestinians...

You tell them, those brown skinned assholes, Newt!

Applause! How so so witty you really are - Newt!

Applause!

A great Conservative of the Ages has risen among us.

Show us the Bling! – Newt and Callista - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at Tiffany's

A lady shot herself and her two kids to death the other day in Laredo Texas at the food stamp office – she did not qualify to feed her family in these hard economic times. 


(Anybody care to drop a prayer on these poor lost souls in America?  And many more like them.)

On to more cheerful, uplifting, spiritual things.

Newt and Callista – Show us the Bling!

More Circus if no bread etc. Whatever.

Newt stated that his account at Tiffany’s has no interest.  What a sweetheart deal!

Also, we all know the story of the Diamond Necklace that started the French Revolution in 1789.  If not:

Callista: Newt, the people have no bread.

Newt: Its not my problem.  I’m rich.  I shop interest free at Tiffany's.

Cardinal Wuerl -Newt Gingrich's Third Catholic Marriage is Morally Right – Gay Marriage and Gay Adoption is a Sin

Cardinal Wuerl of Washington D.C. and his privileged church institution states by its words and actions that:

This man's third marriage to his mistress is the only morally acceptable marriage before God. (That Serial Adultery is OK ! so long as you pay $$$)


And that Gay Marriage and Gay Adoption is an abomination before God. - Oh really?

Where there is Love - Where there is Life - There is GOD

And your church calls Bigotry/Hate - "Religious Liberty" - that's all so fucked up Cardinal Wuerl !


Jesus only ate with whores - not certified holy whores like the Gingrichs.


What is wrong with you and your church???


What the hell is right with your church???

Callista Gingrich Teaches Inaccurate History to Children? – Ellis the Elephant – “Sweet Land of Liberty”

(Ellis and acclaimed history author Callista Gingrich)

“One of the most exciting events this fall for me personally is the arrival of Ellis the Elephant.

”As you know, I love American history.  Having coauthored eight historical novels, I would say finding creative ways to tell the American story has been one of the main objectives of my career.

“Ellis the Elephant appears this week in a new book, Sweet Land of Liberty, written by my wife, Callista Gingrich, and illustrated by Susan Arciero.  I am convinced that Ellis the Elephant will introduce a new generation of young people to our American history.

“Sweet Land of Liberty already has a review at Amazon more overwhelmingly positive and glowing than any review I’ve received after writing 24 books. 

“I’m not surprised.  When you see Ellis, it’s hard not to fall in love with him. Callista considered many types of animals to accompany children through American history -- including giraffes, bunnies, and hippos.  But when she saw Ellis, she couldn't resist this adorable elephant… Newt Ginginch 9/28/2011

“…On July 20, 1969, the United States launched the Apollo 11 spaceflight, and Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon…”

BTW History Scholars, Callista and Newt Gingrich,  Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969 and the Apollo Lunar Module landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11

Like – ah – Launching and Landing over three days later are not quite the same thing or is this condensed history?

Like who did all the difficult fact checking on this critical child’s work of GOP revisionist American History?

Diego Rivera – Artist - Birthday

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Rivera

Following Google main page meme - Diego Rivera, 125^th Birthday, Mexican Painter extraordinaire, 1886-1957.

“Man at the Crossroads” - In 1933 the Rockefellers commissioned Rivera to paint a mural for the lobby of the RCA building in Rockefeller Center. “Man at the Crossroads” was to depict the social, political, industrial, and scientific possibilities of the twentieth century. In the painting, Rivera included a scene of a giant May Day demonstration of workers marching with red banners. It was not the subject matter of the panel that made the Rockerfellers angry, but the clear portrait of Vladamir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary leader of the Soviet Union, leading the demonstration. When Rivera refused to remove the portrait, he was ordered to stop and the painting was destroyed. That same year, Rivera used the money from the Rockefellers to create a mural for the Independent Labor Institute that had Vladamir Lenin as its central figure.   http://readingworkbook.blogspot.com/

Myth, meme, urban legend has famous “destroyed” 30 Rock Lobby Rivera mural as hidden behind plaster wall (center left below). If still intact, the original 30 Rock Diego Rivera Mural would be worth an estimated $60-80 million. 

Otherwise, why would the crown jewel of Art Deco Architecture in America, 30 Rockefeller Center, have such a bland boring substitute mural (above)?

Irony is, few these days can even remember the first name of the Rockefeller who rejected his work.  That is why Diego Rivera's name is immortal. 

(John D. Rockefeller Jr. - Who?)
