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.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/retired-people-should-be-forced-to-work-1398375

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.”

Rest in Peace - George Stanley McGovern - 1922-2012

I shook George McGovern’s hand the day before the election in 1972.  It would be the first time I voted.

It was a strong hand shake from a great American.

A man, who dared to defy the corporations and their corporate genocide war for profit in Vietnam,

and who challenged the corporate stooges in the White House.

A distinguished veteran of WW-II, a pilot in the Army Air Corp. 

Rest in Peace – George Stanley McGovern.

1922-2012

Best Food in Staten Island – “Blue” Restaurant – Snug Harbor

"Blue" Restaurant - North Shore - Staten Island

Just had lunch the other day at “Blue” on the North Shore opposite the Snug Harbor Museum campus.

Snug Harbor

The old R.H.Tugs Restaurant jumped the shark in the nineties but ownership hung on to celebrate a twenty fifth year anniversary I guess for the sake of nostalgia and shabby chic?

This new restaurant with a basic Mediterranean cuisine actually surprised me along with a major interior architectural redo of the old basic structure. The Bar area is now doubled in size and more of a lounge complete with a few lounge chairs.  The restaurant is refreshingly bright with almost floor to ceiling picture windows facing the river and giving you a breathtaking, up front in your face, view of that major hidden forgotten asset in Staten Island, and that is of its long forgotten water front. 

The interior of the restaurant area is refreshingly simple. The walls are painted a Mediterranean color with Gothic Revival woodwork accents to match, compliment the hidden architectural gem of Snug Harbor across the street. This interior background tells you that so much thought and preparation went into this place. That forethought and care is also found in its fantastically fresh, tasty and excellent food.

What I sampled was from the Lunch Menu BTW. The pasta entre with clams and shrimp was the best I have eaten in a restaurant anywhere.  Seafood, fresh, fresh, fresh (you can taste the sea). I also had a taste of my companions’ dishes. The Angus burger, exceptionally excellent. And a lunch time special pastrami sandwich which was a quality, light tasting, not standard heavy, meat sliced and served with a real sense of style and excellence across the board of a creative eclectic menu.

They have an impressive wine list. Lunch for three with two appetizers, crab fritters - yum, three entrees, two cocktails, and one desert, a key lime pie to die for, and coffees all around for desert was for present day standards reasonable and under one bill.  You pay for quality and believe me quality is far and some distance between in that forgotten (gem) of a borough. That quality is found here in Snug Harbor at "Blue".

Chubby Chaser Michael Sean Winters - National Catholic Reporter

"The best thing about the Detroit Tigers is that they have some players who are downright chubby. In this neo-pagan, health-worshipping, fitness-crazed culture, I love watching Prince Fielder carry his substantial self to the plate and then boom a homerun." - Michael Sean Winters, October 19, NCR National Catholic Reporter

Was Sir Jimmy Savile Molested by a RC Priest when he was boy? - Catholic League’s obsession with “Secular Buggery” and the NYT

Sir Jimmy Savile

Three articles already by Catholic Media Troll Bill Donohue wanting to transport the current BBC scandal about looking the other way regarding famous media icon Jimmy Savile and his pedophilia and trying to make it stick to the New York Times because somebody once said some nice PR things about him in his NYT obit?

Truth is that Jimmy Savile probably learned his pedophilia habits from his local catholic priest and or priests as a child in the UK? Child of devout Roman Catholics...

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

What is all the fuss and bother about Bill?

Bill Donohue at Catholic League making Big Corporate Decisions

The NYT covered up Cardinal Spellman’s Gay old times with Broadway Chorus Boys for decades.  Who or what is the implied sexual innuendo / blackmail(?) presently all about with the Catholic League trying to indict the New York Times?

BTW, I cannot seem to find a Cardinal Spellman's New York Times Obit, NYT - the holy grail of American Obits, on the Internet? Hmm.

Trolling for Dollars – Ann Coulter and other Media Whores / Skanks / Trolls / Catholic-Judenrats

Fly Me to the Moon on your broom Ann Coulter – Ten Bucks?

I do not understand how a woman in her fifties still is walking around in blithe sixteen year old style blonde long, long hair. I do not understand why a woman who looks like the first whore I did it with is still so popular after all these years. She was older than me but not that old like Ann Coulter Bela Lugosi formaldehyde preserved old. Perhaps anorexia is the true secret key to eternal life on this planet?

When I see her on Bill Maher, I understand from the corporate world how blowjobs and supplying cocaine to the rich and powerful in the front office can get a skank promoted and in a corner office without any real work to do. But then, does she have an automatic groupie following that puts Bill Maher’s ratings up five points, is that why she is on his HBO Media Troll Show so much? Payola?

Do all the media trolls, formerly media whores; do they all have the same agent at the William Morris Agency? Like who books the dog acts on once legitimate theatre talk entertainment Sunday news shows these days? Vladimir Putin?

This annoying switch in my brain that is so visible is faulty and the “Matrix” like masters of the universe are not like totally controlling me when I see the likes of Liz Cheney or Ann Coulter or even Keith Olbermann booked on the George Stephanopoulos’ political dog and pony show on Sunday Morning – This Week.  They gave the Arab girl from CNN a few weeks to turn around the ratings and then they pulled the old Jay Leno on the female Conan when they 86’d Christiane Amanpour.

“See! (Mira!) Quality does not work. What works is circus!” as Roger Ailes subtlety e-mails his Fox News staff twenty times a day with.

I know I stopped watching George Stephanopoulos or taking him seriously about anything when I read that the poor dear only gets $40,000 monthly living allowance to rent a crumby apartment in New York City when they sent him to the morning show to jazz, jizz it up Bill Clinton style.

What really turned my bile green, not with envy but pure old fashioned moral disgust, was the picture and the follow-up research that he was BFF with Catholic Media “Centrist” Catholic-Judenrat Sean Michael Winters or is it Michael Sean Winters who is official USCCB apologist for institutional endemic sodomy/pedophila and the new far right fascist turn in the American Uber-Catholic Church. 

Sieg Heil!

Whatever.
