Arrivederci Pope Benedict

Good Good Bye to a man not quite as infallible as the church doctrine would force you to believe. Under his leadership over 100 priests have been ex-communicated for teaching liberation theology. The Church of the Doctrine of the Faith, formerly known as the Office of the Inquisition will get Mr Ratzinger back because, rumors abound, he is charged (EU/Italy) for multiple charges of facilitating child abuse and covering up priests by moving them to different dioceses to avoid legal problems. Now he must "enter a life of prayer within the Vatican". Or else, risk being arrested and tried Pope of the pedophile. That ends the notion of infallibility slipped in unbeknownst to our lord and Savior JC of Nazareth. This is what bothers me about religion. The books are holy and complete works of G*D but need "councils and colleges of Cardinals" to perfect the doctrine. Bullshit. Benedict is a disgrace to all catholics and Christians as well. Fundamentalism and nostalgia for the "old ways of the church" are only signs of a dying role of religion in the establishment of power and justice long since lost and blamed on liberation theology and leftist ideology. We who think outside the Book think the Crusades and the Inquisition are not suitable endeavors for our leaders. Unfortunately, these power systems are integrated into our courts, our schools, and ultimately who works and teaches in our society.

IDF Finds Colbert's Rectum in Gaza

In the course of searching Gaza for terrorists, IDF forces have discovered Stephen Colbert's rectum which he has allegedly stated to be in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. "We saw his rectum and immediately called for drone support. This ass was too much for ground forces to "reckon" with," said IDF spokesman Ira Glass of Tel Aviv. A representative for the Colbert Report declined making a statement, but did remark that Mr Colbert's rectum is definitely still "up there" in Windsor. City of Windsor,Ontario Mayor-----, who asked to remain anonymous, stated "We are very concerned that terrorists will be targeting us for allegedly providing a sanctuary for the Colbert rectum." He continued," We are not nor have we ever been the protectors of the rectum of Stephen Colbert and let me state emphatically,the city of Windsor is absolutely not the rectum of the planet earth."

Mental Health Out West

Today PEN holds its' annual "Suicide Walk." 18 year-old boys like to die in Eastern Oregon because its a man's world here. None of that pussy-man shit. You fight a lot, you drink a lot preferably as a binge drinker and you are a patriot who likes guns, girls, and God. God sometimes does not bless the young man with a job which can earn a girl, a gun, and God's grace. So they take the gun and make sure no one knows that they are afraid to say they are depressed feeling hopeless and have no one to turn to.The adults have also been downsized and sent back to school to "re-tool" for jobs that do not exist.The youth who are called lazy no-good for not accepting dead-end jobs and certain indebtedness to "gain" a "life". The land is owned the schools are filled with "educators" who cannot possibly keep up with current technologies and trends so the graduates achieve meaningless degrees for jobs that are easily exported and soon will be automated. So the dream is dead. This is what is killing us slowly and predictably. The weak ones who can't bear the oppression in the workplace/unemployed/underemployed serfitude(sic)find suicide to be a very tempting option. Endless hopelessness coupled with the finger pointing we see every generation against the new one. We have socialism for the disabled the aged and the wealthy but not for medicine and mental health and this is why Condon loses a child each year. The only thing that separates us from SF besides population density is a nice bridge to jump off. We have plenty of guns and pesticides if ammo gets too expensive. The happy hunting grounds are the killing fields of our youth who are told they will have to accept minimum wages as a fact of life as the Waltons gather$21k a minute in profits and we pay $420K for each Walmart store for food stamps for the low-paid employees. I am not walking today. A futile gesture in a land where youth is cheap and life is for the taking.The blame also rides on the APA who has no programs for rural mental health. It is no wonder the rates of suicide reflects economics and the denial of the suffering in our society. Emmett Smith died and all BMCC got was a toll-free number with no back-up of services. Ask and the world says, "sorry". We worry about inheritance taxes. What are we inheriting by allowing medicine to give eastern Oregon the middle finger?

Newt Sucks Blood of the Dead

At the same time he spoke against Obamacare single-payer and Government Death Panels, Mr Newton "Tiffany" Gingrich was fattening himself at the Health Insurance Lobby Pig Trough.14,000 people die every year from being uninsured due to inadequate care. This is pure profits for health care not paid by the same people who pay Newt to denigrate poor people and the working class. How does the Newt sleep at night? Very well thank you. Big Pharma has made sure he is always "comfortable" and since he has government health care from his last "job" he needs no "government handouts". Bless you Newton for all you do for the wealthiest people who need people just like you who use their liberal education for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.
Turkey stuffer.

Threat of the Day x2

#1The "Secret" "Giveaway" "territory" and "hostile foreign power" stealing our land? You will have to narrow that down a little. How are they stealing if we are giving it away? Can I just send you a blank check?
#2Barack is just trying to help Michele to stay alive in the race for 2012. You know, "Just chill I got this."
Surprise they both think sending them money will improve something. What that is I am afraid to even imagine.

More Acorn Mail(Judicial Watch)

My mom got this one today. I like the fact that you can "vote" without even opening the envelope. What will they think of next? People(read people of color and youth) might vote. This is frightening to the ultra-right. OMG. The American Center Opposing Republican Nazis (ACORN) is back in business. No wait a minute. That's not what ACORN stands for. They stood for outlawing redlining by banks in poor neighborhoods AND voter registration. Going after predatory banksters(historically the mission) which is something I guess the letter is for as well as taking money from my mother. Makes sense now. Snidely Whiplash is not in for ACORN.

Birther Mail

As if they could use money as a non-profit .org to better the world by spreading this crap. My comment is "Who is asking for another round of birther ads to fatten the wallets of the racists?"
