Holy Cow!

I don’t even know which topic to lecture on today .  We are deluged by so many news flashes all at once, that In a span of 5 minutes, or less, I went from discussing Kevin McBurger’s time delayed Red Meat debacle on Fox Folly, to the Catholic Church’s telling Biden that wafer tablets are a no-no to Rudy Giuliani and the Deep Six Travelin’ Salvation Show.  Plus, yes, there’s more, as we can’t forget about the Pillow Fight on late night must see TV.  So much diction and so little time.

First off, let’s cover the old debunked news that won’t go away.  Last Monday, the Fox Fools had backtracked on the Biden - Red Meat story that was pure malarkey.  They were up in arms about the President wanting the public to narrow their meat consumption down to 4#’s a year.  When Trump heard that, he admitted to eating 4#’s the day before.  Wha?  I swear, this guy is alive in spite of himself.  Appears that the “Pubs” were feeding (get it?) into the meat malarkey theory that Biden wants Americans to cut back 90% of their beef diet in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Whoa!  That would only be about 8 or 9 Big Macs for the Big Mac each year.  He’ll have to go down to Mar-a-Lago and mooch off citizen Trump when he needs a fix, since the “Don” can pack 4#’s a day away.  To make matters worse, 2 days after Fox and other News Media debunked that story as false, the Big Mac was on Sean Hannity’s program and Hannity let him rave on.  Just goes to show, 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

Now one of my least favorite subjects, the universal boondoggle of Church & State.  There is never a winner there, only walking wounded.  I’m not out to pick sides here, or on anyone and far be it for me to denigrate the Catholic Church and/or the present President.  However, I have to go with the underdog here since it’s a case of WTF!  We finally have a regular Joe in the White House that is a rather unassuming low profile, not calling attention to himself, look at me kinda guy.  Sort of type that would live in Mr. Roger’s neighborhood and if he wants to go to Mass and receive Communion, so be it.  But noooooooo……not if U.S. Catholic Bishops have their way.  They are going to decide at their next annual meeting in June if they will allow Biden, along with other Catholic politicians to receive Communion if they advocate for abortion rights.  Hmmm!  Analysis indicates that between Catholics and Protestants, the decline in membership is much steeper among Catholics.  The Protestants are down 9 points, from 73% to 64% and the Catholics are down 18 points, from 76% to 58%.  Even the Stock Market is doing better than that.  Seems to me that the Catholic Church can’t afford more of a downward slope.  I would think they would be elated to have the President of the United States in their fold, not like the last guy who worshiped the Kingdom of Trump.  Back in my elementary school days at Assumption Hall, the church was open to all who desired to come in.  Looks like times have changed. Tch Tch Tch!

Finally, since I’m running out of space, I will have to forego Rudy and his Deep Six Travelin’ Salvation Show for later, but did you get to see the pillow fight?  I didn’t watch it, as I have an aversion for Jimmy’s guest last night.  I saw bits and pieces and it looked to be a trainwreck waiting to happen, so I went to bed.  The thought of the pillow guy rehashing voter fraud over and over makes me want to puke.  Kimmel must have either a strong stomach or a warped sense of humor or both.  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
