Papal Pissedoffedness

Pope Pick-A-Name-Any-Name Benedict XYZ (better known as Joey to his Nazi homeboys) today started off his claptrap in Australia urging those down under to forsake the spreading of whatever spiritual desert and to embrace Christianity in order to build a new age free from greed and materialism.

Free from greed and materialism? That pointy hat on his head no doubt costed more than my monthly, maybe annual or even lifetime income! And I'm pretty sure there are more hats where that came from, stashed up somewhere in the Holy See's hat closet.

Speaking of closets ...

That lace gown thing. Pretty maybe. But really, despite being so very
J. Edgar Hooverish for sure, I'd bet money probably not a Target buy.

Okay, in fairness, the red misshapen poncho might well have been a discounted purchase from some clearance bin of irregulars (no other reasonable explanation I can consider) but still ... the old dude does happen to live in the fucking Vatican palace, for Christ's sake!

Allegedly, anyway. Calls to Jesus' office to confirm whether or not actually for His sake have yet to be returned. Busy schedule.

Bottom line, the Pope preaching against materialism seems to me as ludicrous as if George W. Bush went marching for peace.

It just grated on my nerves is all, for admittedly no apparent reason. Maybe I should simply take back up chain-smoking. I was much more pleasant and less irritable back then.

  1. Irritable or not, I think you make a good point here. Whatever happened to leading by example?

  2. Leaders actually leading by example? That's a funny thought.

  3. Yeah...this coming from the guy who made the news because of his fancy shmancy red shoes.

    Oh, and for the record? Jesus is usually out fishing (he actually only has to catch one, then he can head home) on Sundays, back in the office tomorrow, 9 sharp.

  4. Mother Teresa lived a great life and she practiced what she preached.

  5. Mother Teresa was one of sadly too few exceptions.

Georgia outlaws microchip implants: "Just imagine having a beeper in your rectum and your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city."

Well, that bill passed, the one from Georgia "so as to prohibit requiring a person to be implanted with a microchip," Senate Bill 235 . At least it made its way through the House Judiciary Committee, anyway, next stop the House Rules Committee that decides whether it moves on to the full House vote and (fingers crossed) final passage. I'd think it probably should, taking into account the compelling testimony brought up at this last hearing, from some fat lady about why non-consensual chipping should be made against the law. There she described in detail her own personal experience, with being implanted against her druthers: "I'm also one of the people in Georgia who has a microchip," she began. ("Also one?" There's more of them there?) She went on about the specific disadvantages, how it violates one's "right to work without being tortured by co-workers who are activating these microchips by using their cell phones and other electro

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o
