Not My Father's Notre Dame Football - Imaginary Girlfriends - Imaginary Rapes - Imaginary Safe Working Conditions - Manti Teo - Lizzy Seeberg - Declan Sullivan - Jack Swarbrick
"But what unsettles me about Groves’ argument
is that he eventually makes the claim that Notre Dame is “one of America’s best
examples of winning ‘the right way.’” Even worse, he suggests that the team’s
haters must acknowledge as much, forced to swallow what is nothing less than
irrefutable fact. It’s a popular claim and one that alludes not only to Notre
Dame’s supremacy on the field, so far undisputed this year, but to its
infallibility on some sort of moral scale."
"That idea, the so-called “right way,” irks me like few
others. I’m honestly surprised that we have yet to retire the lazy and often
dangerous phrase from the sports lexicon. To understand why, one needs only to
think back on the figures who were famously thought to do things “the right
way” until quite recently: Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Joe
Paterno."

Susan LaPierre, Wayne’s Trophy Wife, Markets NRA Branding Products - Toasters that make NRA Toast – Cronies on NRA Payroll?
 |
| $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |
Besides selling NRA toasters to the peasants in the NRA ranks, Susan also shills for NRA
philanthropic projects, big bucks, (big personal bonuses Susan?), with Elitist
Ticket prices $200 - $2,000 a seat at a NRA little woman’s “Leadership” luncheon
in Houston Texas in May 2013.
Like other organizations, the NRA has also tried to derive extra income from its members by selling corporations access to them. Affinity partnerships with various companies “have paid the NRA tens of millions of dollars in royalties,” the association said in a 2003 court filing. NRA Treasurer Wilson Phillips and the spouses of two other NRA officials had financial ties to a for-profit company that marketed access to NRA members in 2001, court filings show.
Phillips was chief financial officer at Memberdrive.com Inc., records show. LaPierre’s wife, Susan LaPierre, and Holly Marcario, the wife of NRA membership director Robert Marcario, worked there too, according to the documents. The company made a deal with the tax firm H&R Block that paid Memberdrive a commission for new clients generated from the NRA’s members. Memberdrive was to pay 70 percent of that commission to the NRA itself, records show.
After protests from gun-control advocates led H&R Block to cancel the partnership, Memberdrive in June 2002 sued HRB Management Inc., a subsidiary.
Phillips held stock in the startup, according to charitable-registration documents Memberdrive filed with the state of Washington in 2002.
The company named Susan LaPierre one of its three highest-paid employees in a 2001 registration form filed with the same office. Memberdrive was sold for an undisclosed sum about a year after its lawsuit was dismissed in October 2003.

Mrs. Wayne LaPierre Attacks Ann Hathaway at the Golden Globes on Twitter
Now that Wayne LaPierre has put the First Children
within the NRA line of fire, turn around fair play, the only Mrs. Wayne LaPierre on the Internet is a
twitter account and probably not his real wife, maybe a blowup doll wife?
Is Wayne LaPierre Married?
Is he a genuine white Heterosexual? Went to two Catholic colleges (wink,nod).
Does he have a “normal” sexlife (does not have to sleep
with his Bushmaster every night in bed etc.)?
NRA LaPierre's "Political Pornography" Ad Attacks Obama Children
This ad per political columnist Mike Barnicle is "political pornography"!
Sick, perverted, Roman Catholic style demonizing of minorities, attacked the First Children to justify Wayne LaPierre's paycheck.
Asking the question "Are the President's Kids More Important" than your kids because they have armed protection and your children have no armed protection in school.
The First Family needs armed protection from all the NRA Gun Nuts in this country.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a member of the NRA!
Really low shit from the mysterious Wayne LaPierre.
Is Wayne LaPierre married?
Does he have a wife, kids?
Is it fair to target and demonize the First Family and not share his family to the same NRA firing line?
I have to wonder how a man educated in two Catholic Colleges including Boston College can be so non-human in his approach to "humanity". Maybe the Catholic Church only teaches money and not love these days?

Petition to White House to Remove Bully Prosecutor Carmen Ortiz for Overreaching Re: Aaron Swartz reaches 25,000 Signature Goal

| U.S. Attorney Massachusetts - Carmen Ortiz |
Many opinions about freedom of information on the internet and the deterioration of our individual freedoms since 911 were issues that made the late genius Aaron Swartz a target of federal persecution and not prosecution.

Did Mark Hofmann Write the Book of Mormon?
Question: Did Mark Hofmann Write the Book of Mormon?
Answer: No. The Book of Mormon was written by some other forger long
before Mark was born.

Bishop Omsted’s New Phoenix Arizona Fantasy Cathedral Downtown
What any ambitious RC cleric in the United States needs
is a new fantasy cathedral not unlike the hideous $200 concrete box cathedral
in Los Angeles (right) or the equally hideous $200 million dirigible hanger cathedral in Oakland
California (below).
Doing some research on Bishop Olmsted’s tacit support of
all things Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, especially Joe’s secular Culture of Death
with its unexplained, uninvestigated, mysterious deaths of minorities at
Maricopa County Jail, I ran into this article about the sudden critical need to
have more seating, like at a sporting event, in a new big improved sports
stadium, in the RC Cathedral in Phoenix.
 |
| Sts. Simon and Jude Cathedral, Phoenix Area |
The present Cathedral of St. Simon and St. Jude on the
west side off the highway I-17 only has 1200 seats for important clerical events.
The old Basilica of St. Mary’s downtown, run by the Franciscans, only sits 850
bottoms at important sporting religious events.
 |
| St. Mary's Bascilia Phoenix Arizona |
The need is at this stage of real estate negotiations to
enlarge St. Mary’s with an expansion of a rather plain, mediocre wood and
stucco structure that would not meld easily into any modern expansion or
construction.
I see them tearing it down,
citing “termites”; it is an ugly obsolete structure, after they wrestle the
Franciscans for the property rights, in the middle of the most expensive real
estate in Arizona, recession or no recession.
And some comments from the faithful in Phoenix:
mojo43Jun-23 @ 7:28 AM What a great place to properly represent the diocese today as it is led by the current bishop. St Mary's history includes forcing those who were of a darker skin color and who spoke primarily spanish into the basement for their masses rather than in the main church with the catholics of European descent. This bishop is well known for favoring whiter, more affluent churches over the poorer ones whose worshipers are from countries south of our border. Most of the money from collection plates stay with the affluent churches where it is needed less rather than with the poorer ones whose parishioners have the most need for help. …You're fricken right I'm disgruntled! My family was among the many who contributed to the development of that church only to be treated as lesser than the whites. They had no choice but to help found Immaculate Heart where they would be considered as worthy of God's Graces as those of European descent.
And the Bishop has shown time and time again that he is willing to disregard the needs of the poorer (brown skinned) churches over those of the affluent (white skinned) ones. How the diocese money is spent along with his disregard for priests who work with the poorest of the poor is proof. Have you ever talked with priests and parishioners from the poorer churches and catholic schools? Have you ever even visited them, helped contribute to their well being while in your ivory tower? I doubt it.
I have volunteered countless hours with the poorer of the faithful and with others have tried at great lengths to get help from the richer churches and the diocese only to be turned away. They'd rather spend their money fighting gay rights and issues important to their wealthy members than give much thought to the dire conditions of many of the poorer congregations and schools.

Jun-23 @ 8:56 AM Kind of sad to me. I went to Ss. Simon and Jude, class of 1986, and Brophy. I was there in 1987 when John Paul II came, that's where the big cross came from outside. Let's call a duck a duck. Ss. Simon and Jude, when I was growing up, was in the middle of middle-class-ville. Not so much anymore. Most of the old time parishioners are gone and replaced by mostly Spanish-Speaking people. The Church wants to move because there is no money at 27th and Maryland. If they go downtown, they'll have hotels, restaurants, etc. Instead of a 1/3 expansion at SS&J, or even a 1/4 expansion at St. Francis, they'd rather do a 1/2 expansion at St. Mary'?

Phoenix Corrupt Elite and Joe Arpaio’s Culture of Death Makes a Power Grab into Public Schools, Armed Seizure of Power, Like It or Not America
 |
| Overlords Omsted and Arpaio - Phoenix / Maricopa |
Once again, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County (Phoenix)
Arizona, like Wayne LaPierre, does not mention his religion in his Wikipedia
bio. Why? On a secret mission for the pope? That or he does not want the local Methodists and or Mormons to know that a Pape is in charge as the one true local warlord in an international border state such as Arizona?
Appeals to Phoenix's Bishop Tommy Olmsted regarding Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s
secular Culture of Death at Maricopa County Jail fell on the deaf RC cleric’s
ears even after protests at Joe’s Church of the Ascension in exclusive rich
white gated armed Fountain Hills, Arizona last August.
 |
| Protestors outside Church of the Ascension, Fountain Hills, Arizona |
Uber-Catholic, Tea Party fanatic Joe Arpaio's Armed
Posse / Vigilante / Militia is now up and running, roaming the streets of
Phoenix looking for Wayne LaPierre’s “Bad Guys”- i.e. the dark skinned ones.
An eighty year old Sheriff of Maricopa County (Phoenix)
has taken Wayne LaPierre’s advice and formed a vigilante committee of unvetted
armed yahoos to protect children in their schools.
As stated by Mother Jones’ reporter David Korn on MSNBC,
this vigilante “posse” which has no funds to vet its members and is by public
knowlwdge populated by men with felony convictions, some of which are sex
offences involving children.
What next with these lunatic roaming potential “rape
crews” in and around our public schools?
A football program – the Penn State, Notre Dame or Steubenville
working model ?
Or an extra RC auxialry bishop of two in Phoenix appointed by Joe
the Pope INC to handle the public safety of the children, fresh meat, in the
public schools of Maricopa County now subject to King Joe Arpaio's senile racist sexist pink underwear fantasy whims???

Wayne Thiebaud - Cupcake (poem) - Hide and Seek*
Hide and Seek
There is a pretty in you
I can measure when it’s out
You wrap it in a whisper
But it comes out as a shout.
There is no way to love it
Is gift-wrapped in a she
Pulsing up and down yourself
For worlds of eyes to see.
It bounds around your person
Always hidden in your smile.
And although I cannot touch it
I may eat it with a smile.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens – Goddess, Diana of the Tower (MSG), Diana of the Staircase (PMA)
A few views of the famous Saint-Gaudens statue
of Diana that was once the weathervane on the second Madison Square Garden,
(right off Madison Square NYC) 1890-1925, before finding a permanent home at
the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The original eighteen foot Diana by
sculptor Saint-Gaudens was made of bronze and thought to be out of proportion
when first put on the Second Madison Square Garden in 1891 - and too heavy to maneuver quickly in the winds.
.jpg)
In 1893, it went to
the top of a building at the Columbia Exposition in 1893 in Chicago.
Bottom half of statue was lost in a fire in Chicago. Top Half of statue, whereabouts unknown, and presumed lost to history.

| Agriculture Building - Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893 |
Bottom half of statue was lost in a fire in Chicago. Top Half of statue, whereabouts unknown, and presumed lost to history.
The second Saint-Gaudens Diana as weathervane on
Madison Square Garden was of gilded sheet copper and thirteen feet high.
This Diana eventually founds its home as the centerpiece of the grand staircase main hall entry way of the
Philadelphia Museum of Art after demolition of the second Garden arena.

Washington National Cathedral to Allow Same Sex Marriage and Blessings Because It Is Legal in D.C. and Maryland - Render Unto Caesar...
The Mother Church of our English Speaking
Culture in America, Washington National Cathedral, is about to offer marriage
and blessings to same sex couples because it is now legal to do so in both the District of
Columbia and adjoining Maryland.
“Render unto Caesar the things that are
Caesar's and to G-d the things that are G-d’s."
Most Americans know the house of God, also called the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, as a place where sacred rites are carried out on behalf of the nation. It has been host to the funerals of numerous presidents and of inaugural prayer services for four presidents, including Barack Obama.
But it is also an active house of worship in the Episcopalian Church, said the Cathedral's dean, Gary Hall. The denomination has developed a blessing rite that mirrors current wedding ceremonies for heterosexual couples and allows each bishop to decide to allow same-sex marriages in their churches or not.
Bishop Mariann Budde decided to allow the rite, since same-sex marriage is legal in the District of Columbia and now in neighboring Maryland as well, Hall said.
