A few words at this point about cultural cross connections….
In my neighborhood there is a yard display of epic content and ambition… It has all the usual trees encrusted in lights from base to twig tip, the flashing sidewalk side lights showing the passerby the way to the front door.. It enjoys the truly majestic roof cloaking of possibly a couple of thousand twinkling tiny sliver lights and of course a life sized sleigh and reindeer…. There is no chimney but that hardly seems to matter…
AND ,…..as the “coupe’de grace” as it were,... a life size diorama on the lawn of that historic event that took place when SANTA brought the BABY JESUS some gaily wrapped presents!!!!!!
YES !!!
Just like it happened in the Bible!!!
Why I remember when that took place myself…it was right after Santa bravely defeated the Nazis at Pearl Harbor and flew to Europe so that he could prevent Al Queda from starting a Nuclear Summer. This enabled Santa to quickly race back to Trenton , New Jersey and with the help of his elves produce and hand out enough Ice Skates to equip each of George Washington’s Revolutionaries in a truly professional fashion . Thus George and friends managed to skate across the Potomac River and save Francis Scott Keyes from the Japanese and that allowed the Poet Keyes to branch out and write our national anthem…the Battle Hymn Of the Republic…
Thanks again SANTA!!!!!!!!

Most of you have figured it out I'm sure....
All I've been up to is an attempt to enlighten by shining a bright light on behavior that regardless from whence it springs, it is as reprehensible, as evil , as mindboggling stupid as anything can be.
I'm heartened by folks like Colbert who do the thing they do so well that the butt of the joke actually thinks they are in fact the good example...not the joke.

So......
Well I guess you are all aware of the historic happenings lately...
NO.... I am not talking about Obama...

I AM TALKING ABOUT THE Feast OF Crispianus..
Did you all remember to take your used shoes to the houses of the wealthy???

I do hope so but at the same time I am quite sure that the Almighty would excuse you all this year due to high gas prices...

Well, I must close ( I think I hear a vestal virgin calling , looking for some...absolution) so I will be going now...
Goodnight Children...

So you think the Democrats will manage to lose the election anyway????

No room left for nervousness for me, I've voted ..... Obama is my guy,...and IF the Dems do as you are opining,...well then it's on their heads and it will be time to at least seriously explore the possibility of Canada...
I am a Patriot, a decorated soldier, a preacher, and a heretic, a drunk, and doper (well ex- on the last two)...and even someone as compromised as myself can see the genuine potential in Obama. I was serious about having tears in my eyes on the night he was accepting the nomination.. It has been few, the number of truly historic positive politicians, offhand I can think of only two, or three if you want to count Father Abraham
... If this goes south in a bag of burning dog poo... sticking around would be so very hard...I'm not sure I could...
We have to start the journey toward actually being adults in the world community and not just brandishing our bigger sticks and yelling, "'Cause I say SO!!"...and to me this one thing, race, is a starting point... We have been trying to get this behind ourselves for far too long to just let it continue .. I see hope in Obama, I see that starting point..
And as a patriot I want that start...then we can take another step, and another, and another...
All history began this way...one step. One action. One hope.

And as I always say,"If you're gonna beat up a stupid kid, make sure you aren't being videotaped"...wait, no.., that's what spring break cops say... I always say something different...errr, what was that again???hmmm, well it was something about religion and the role it has played in history to date in providing us with fertile ground for ignorant, and destructive ideology to blossom into what many ignorant and destructive people call "Faith"...
Just a crutch for , and a shield for hiding behind whilst one makes otherwise unacceptable and socially reprehensible personal attacks upon the nature of another, or upon that persons character...
I'm with Bill all the way here...I'm sick of this stupidity being pampered and kowtowed to as though it were in itself a thing of obvious reverence...
If someone is insane or ignorant enough to stand in front of you and claim that there is "
Real" proof that the dinosaurs and people co=existed, then that person and ANYTHING ELSE they say should be relegated to the box in your head labeled,"Complete Bullshit"...
There is no being generous here, no common decency...no ,"middle ground"..these fanatics are going to ruin all of our days if we don't as a group of adults stand up to this pervasive mind fog that they spread in the name of GOD...
I am serious.

I do hope so... I have been more than my usual caviler self about this site and ,NO, I dont think an apology is necessarily in order...But perhaps a word of explanatory word shapes... :))
See, one of the conumdrums about being the F.C.F.J. Prior is that even tho I am the head of the church..I can and often do take extended leave from my duties...such was the case for the last year... I was away busily proving to the "MAN" that I was every bit as much "MAN: as he was...To my relief...he finally fired me and just to keep it humorus and light..he told the State Unemployment "MEN" that I had "QUIT"...heheheheh
Aww...shucks I do so miss those weeks of total mindfucking I got at the hands of my former "BOSS"...
So, and Anyway..and well there... NOW I AM RETURNED!! (Chorus' of Slightly asthmatic nineteen year old peanut butter swilling vestal (I hope they are still) Virgins...
