A Snooty Observation on O-No's Speech...

I don't like to write about politics (as my POV is sure to raise ruckus on both sides of the aisle) but I'm PO'd with the TV News. I was watching the coverage of O-No's speech to Congress yesterday, and the networks made it look like Congress was a bunch of Jack-in-the-boxes (especially the odd couple - Pelosi & Biden, the couple from CINO), but they made the mistake of showing a view from the Speaker's rostrum which showed that the only people jumping to their feet during one of these "butt-lifting" occasions were the Cabinet members sitting in the front row; most of Congress, Asses & Trunks alike, were sitting in their seats with arms crossed. How about reporting FACTUAL, REAL, ACCURATE, NEWS folks? I'd like to know what my representatives actual actions are, so I know whether to give him/her a severance package next election

Brad Has Done It Again!

...our look at all things American which we came to realize as we were writing this song are pretty much borrowed from somewhere else. We are a country of mutts.

Brad Paisley - Invitation Only: Brad Paisley - CMT - August 2009

Makes that feldercarb between that Harvard "perfessor" & the police officer look idiotic. This song points out that we're not Italian, African, etc.; we are 100% American Mutts! (Can't wait for the video!)

Happy Feastday!

I consider myself an Ignatian in my spirituality, and I'm sending out a Happy Feastday to all my fellow Ignatius fans out there!

I think the Church has done a great disservice to Iggy by not making him a Doctor of the Church, as his spirituality has, positively and negatively, influenced modern development of Catholic theology and philosophy since the Protestant so-called Reformation. Most of the negative influence was not generated by Iggy himself, but by 1960's & 70's pseudo-intellectuals of his Society who thought psychology and sociology were more important than Orthodox Catholic Teaching. In my not-so-humble opinion, this distortion of Ignatian spirituality (along with the suppression of the Society in the 18th century) have kept Iggy from getting his "Doctorate".

Another Year Down the Tubes...

I'm glad (today at least) that I'm not married. I seem to have this bad habit of missing anniversaries. But Gem is celebrating her's and when I looked I found out I started this blog on 07/15/2007. Sorry dear, I'm bad.
