you got a dog in this race? Let it go..."
The last time a Pope resigned for corruption was in 1046

Are we about to see history made again?
Or will Benny go for a powergrab and bring the whole Catholic
Church down with him?

GOP whine:
Drink deeply
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
I love the sound of Republicans whining in the
morning. Boo-hoo-hoo.
The GOP lost the presidency and a big congressional
election back in 2008. With the passage of
President Obama's healthcare bill, they've now
lost the most significant domestic political battle
since the 1960s. So naturally the light of freedom
has been extinguished, the U.S. Constitution voided,
capitalism doomed and the nation fallen into
a dark totalitarian nightmare.
Party leaders are increasingly solemn, diminishingly
serious. The GOP's entertainment wing, its crack team
of right-wing radio/TV melodramatists, has been
thrown into a competitive frenzy. For sheer entertainment value,
this stuff is hard to top. Surely some dark beast
shuffles toward Washington to be born. Rush Limbaugh predicts
that the nation's private insurance industry
will be bankrupted.

Catholic Quotes
"I simply want to live out the time that I
have left in the dignity of my priesthood.
I ask your kind assistance in this
matter."
-- Rev. Lawrence Murphy, rapist, writing in 1996
to Benny the Rat, asking Benny
if they could just drop
the matter about Larry sexing up those little boys,
Link
Note: Benny the Rat toook no action.
"Instead of being disciplined, Father Murphy
was quietly moved to Milwaukee in 1974
where he spent his last 24 years
raping children. He died in 1998, still a priest."
-- Laurie Goodstein Link
"Having a sexual life, no one can escape that.
We are all living people. We are not
stones."
-- Rev. Roman Kravchyk, a senior Ukrainian
Greek Catholic official, on his church's
policy that celibate
priests are not necessarily better priest, Link
"This sexual abuse scandal will be a major
part of Pope Benedict's legacy."
-- an America priest in Rome who dares not cross
The
Enforcer, TIME Magazine, March 29, Page 36
"It's probably just a matter of time before
it comes out that Pope Benedict did know more."
-- a priest in Rome, on the Pope's role in a Munich
pedo priest returning to rape more children, TIME Magazine,
March 29, Page 36
Boy, think if the Pope got caught smoking marijuana - now that
would be a scandal.
But the systematic rape of thousands of children in 60
countries over decades or centuries?
Yawn.

Subject: Repeal and replace is a losing strategy
On August 14th 1935 President Roosevelt signed
into law the Social Security Act. The next year in 1936
Roosevelt ran for president against Kansas Republican
Alf Landon who ran on the platform of repealing Social Security.
Alf only carried 2 states in that election and
if not for Wikipedia, very few people would remember who he is.
Social Security is so popular that it is considered
the "third rail" in politics. You touch it your political career dies.
In 1994 the Democrats lost big in the midterm
elections after failing to pass Health Care Reform. But they learned
their lesson and decided not to repeat that mistake.
But now the Republicans are talking about running on repeal and replace
of the health care legislation that just passed.
Although it was tough for Democrats to get it passed it is now the law
of the land.
Now that it passed I don't think that the public
is going to rise up to give control of health care back to the insurance
companies.
Republicans need a new strategy. Maybe they should
focus on something positive they can accomplish and run on
the merits of their work rather than to run on
what they can tear down. They are hoping that we will forget what the
Party of Bush did to America the last decade.
Republicans cannot run on a record of failure and expect to be successful.

Bob, it's not the existence of the useless "sport" that bothers me.
It's CBS's dumping their programming for two weeeks, right after NBC
dumped their programming for two weeks to watch people ski down a hill.
Wouldn't your game be just as exciting on Channel 46?
What's worse - the no-courage rival networks get scared and go into reruns, too.
Network TV is dying faster than John McCain's career.
Taking off their top shows for shoe squeaking only accelerates that.

Poker talk
You gotta record Saturday night's Poker After Dark on NBC.
Todd Brunson (Is he any good at poker? He
never wins) brought a talking
Phil Hellmuth doll to the poker table that cried
whenever Phil lost a pot.
"Whaa whaaah!"
ha ha
He's wearing a little beanie with Hellmuth's "PH" logo.
Matasow and Esfariandi laughed themselves out
of their chairs. Phil was mildly amused
but then he went all in and lost and expoded
like a volcano in Iceland so catch that episode
if you want to see why they call poker's greatest
tournament player "Poker Brat."

It's the
GOP's Waterloo
by David From, Rethug at Freeperville
Excerpt:
We followed the most radical voices in the party
and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat.
There were leaders who knew better, who would
have liked to deal. But they were trapped. Conservative talkers on
Fox and talk radio had whipped the Republican
voting base into such a frenzy that deal-making was rendered impossible.
How do you negotiate with somebody who wants
to murder your grandmother?
Overheated talk mobilizes supporters – but by
mobilizing them with hysterical accusations and pseudo-information,
overheated talk has made it impossible for representatives
to represent and elected leaders to lead. The real leaders
are on TV and radio, and they have very different
imperatives from people in government.
When Rush said that he wanted Obama to fail,
what he omitted to say is that he also wants Republicans to fail.
If Republicans succeed – if they govern successfully
in office and negotiate attractive compromises out of office – Rush’s
listeners get less angry. And if they are
less angry, they listen to the radio less, and hear fewer ads for Sleepnumber
beds.
Obamacare is a huge win for the conservative entertainment
industry. Their listeners and viewers will now be even more
enraged, even more frustrated, even more disappointed
in everybody except the responsibility-free talkers on television
and radio. For them, it’s mission accomplished.
For the cause they purport to represent, it’s Waterloo all right: Ours.
Is there a sane sliver in the GOP wondering how ro get control back from the crazies?
Obama made the same point at that Maryland retreat
a few weeks ago.
Once you say, "Obama is the Devil," how can you
make a deal with him?"

Subject: Anderson Cooper on Celebrity Jeopardy
LOL, Bart.
What's really funny is that the Celebrity Jeopardy
questions are tailored to be, for the most part,
easier than the questions for the regular contestants,
so as not to make the celebs look like idiots,
and human windchime Anderson Cooper lost anyway.
If CNN wanted a hit show to complete with Olbermann,
they should pair Cooper with Kathy Griffin.
Cooper can giggle vacuously while Kathy makes

Quotes
"One amendment to the health care bill was
advanced by Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
It would have prohibited coverage of
Viagra for child molesters and rapists, among other things.
A motion to table it was passed by
a 57-42 vote, with Evan Bayh and Ben Nelson the only Dems
supporting Coburn's measure. Remember
"Viagra for sex offenders" as a slogan that may
come up in campaigns against those
57 Democrats someday."
-- Doug Clark, news-record.com
I assume this Doug Clark is a lying whore?
I say that because yes, our Democrats are stupider than a nail
beating a hammer to death,
but surely they're not stupid enough to inist that child molesters
get all the Viagra they need.
I mean our Democrats can't be that stupid, can they?
I suspect the truth is buired in that underlined part. If
Coburn's amendment reads,
"It's OK to hang Blacks and let's keep Viagra
from child molesters,"
then our guys would be right to vote for "giving Viagra to child
molesters."
So - is Doug Clark a lying whore?
OR are our Democrats that f-ing crazy?

Quotes
"After a first year in office that promised
consequence but never quite delivered on it, Obama had
done something huge. The comparisons with
Jimmy Carter would abruptly end. He was now a President
who didn't back down, who could herd cats,
who was not merely intellectual and idealistic but tough enough
to force his way. This is bound to change
the landscape of American politics. It makes significant progress
on other issues -- financial reform, immigration,
perhaps even the reduced use of carbon fuels -- more plausible.
It may give Obama new stature overseas, in
a world that was beginning to wonder about his ability to use power."
-- Joe Klein, Link
He's right - this was a fight Obama couldn't afford to lose.
This was the fight where Obama would be defined as a winner or
a loser.
His presidency was "all in" and losing this could've meant President
Palin in 2012.
Thank you, God.

GOP Let
Down Its Guard
That's how we got health care thru - by David Axelrod
Excerpt:
"Some of the steam went out of the opposition
after Massachusetts," Axelrod said. "I think that people felt like
they had made a statement. Perhaps they felt
like they had killed health care reform... They thought the fight was over.
And that Obama couldn't now succeed. I do believe
that. And it is almost as if they had made the statement that
they thought they had stopped the thing. And
so it created a breathing space for us to regroup."
In the weeks that followed Brown's win, indeed,
the conventional wisdom held that health care had come to
a screeching, unexpected halt. It wasn't just
Republicans pushing the theory but some Democratic lawmakers
who were also convinced that the time had come
to move on... And the cowards know
that we know who they are.
DNC chair Tim Kaine described the moment as a
sobering one for the party. But a lot of the hysteria
that accompanied Massachusetts, he added, wasn't
rooted in reality.
Kaine said. "People were really glum. And I told
them, 'Hey, wait a minute. We've got 59 Democratic senators
and we only had 51 when Obama was running,
there were only 58 on Inauguration Day. There haven't been
59 since 1979. It was a big loss, we've got
to learn some lessons from it, but we can't have that big a margin
and walk around with our tails between our
legs. We have to figure out a way to govern like we got 59."

Subject: Cantor caught
Cantor has just been caught lying about an attempt on his own office, claiming someone shot through his office window.
The police report, states, "The Richmond Police
Department is investigating an act of vandalism at the Reagan Building.
A first floor window was struck by a bullet on
Tuesday, March 23. The building, which has several tenants including an
office used by Congressman Eric Cantor, was unoccupied
at the time.
"A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet
was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction,
landing on the floor about a foot from the window.
The round broke the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds.
There was no other damage to the room, which
is used occasionally by the congressman."
It seems Cantor is fibbing on several levels here
in an attempt to use a "They did it too!" defense
that didn't work for most of us by the time we
were four years old.
I knew right away the Democrats were innocent.
We don't own guns and if we somehow do, we damn sure don't shoot them..

Subject: Survivor
Bart,
Below is a list of the crew members of the tv
show Survivor.
You don't really believe these people are alone
and faced with actual death if they fuck up, do you?
Damn, that was a long list :)
Sudden death would be unlikely but they are in
jungles/on islands that have danger in them.
But what about no solid food and doing without
sleep for a day or two because you're shivering
from the fifty degree rainy nights between broiling
days when you get bitten by 200 mosquitos?
Then imagine doing that with a serious case of
the flu.
Did you see that guy who fell into the fire and
burned the skin off his fingers?
Are you say Survivor is about as dangerous
as a round of Jeopardy?
You should watch something before you dismiss
it for being a powderpuff.
No one is in actual jeopardy. Between the camera
and production crew there are plenty of people there
to make sure no one is every going to die of
starvation or stupidity. Notice they have a large number of
costume and prop people. That's reality? It's
just entertainment and as phony as any other show.

Excerpt:
Sarah Palin will shake her booty in a new eight-part
documentary series on the TLC network.
The show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," will be about
Palin and the state she abandoned, the Discovery statement said.
Its executive producer will be Mark Burnett,
who produces "Survivor" and "the Apprentice."
"TLC is so excited to help Sarah Palin tell the
story of Alaska, and to have Mark Burnett helping to reveal Alaska's
powerful beauty as it has never been filmed,
and as told by one of the state's best known whores," Peter Liguori,
CEO of parent company Discovery Communications,
said in the statement.
"We are confident 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' will
be another compelling television event," said Eileen O'Neill,
TLC president and general manager, in the statement.
Sure it will be - if she does the show topless.
But this is where Palin belongs - lying to a camera instead of the
American people.

WI Priest
molested 200 boys
Just another day for the Raping Catholics
Excerpt:
Arthur Budzinski says the first time the priest
molested him, he was 12 years old at a school for the deaf.
He says he asked Father Lawrence Murphy to hear
his confession, and instead the priest sexually assaulted him.
"Big
deal - so I like rape.
You
have a hobby, too, right?"
Budzinski, now 61, was one of about 200 deaf
boys at the St. John's School for the Deaf just outside Milwaukee
who say they were molested by the priest decades
ago in a case threatening to ensnare Pope Benny the Rat.
Bart,
why can't you just leave this alone?
Some of the allegations became public years ago.
But they got renewed attention this week after documents showed
that Murphy was spared because he was protected
by the Vatican office led by Cardinal Benny the Rat, now the pope.
I remember the first Fest we ever had - it was April of 2002. I distinctly
remember walking
the streets of Washington DC and seeing the "Priest
rapes" headlines in the newspaper boxes.
Nobody did a goddamn thing about those rapes - so they continued.
I wonder how many thousands of little boys have been raped in
those last eight years?
Why doesn't anybody give a fuck?
Why doesn't somebody do something?
What are the rank-and-file Catholics waiting for?
Is the Pope "too holy" to be held accountable?
Have you ever seen anything more corrupt than the Vatican?
They exist to rape children - that Invisible Cloud Being crap
is just their cover.
"Give us your money and your child's rectum,
that's all we ask."
How many hundreds or thousands of rapes need to be proven to shut them down?
If I had a child, I'd let him go to a Halliburton Roofy party before I'd let a priest near him.
"Bart,
you don't need to be involved in this.
Why
don't you just be funny and forget what
we're
doing with those beautiful little boys?"

Dems bitch-slapping
Rethugs
Ever think you'd see that headline?
Excerpt:
The health-care bill that hung around Democrats’
necks for the last several months – right up to the final vote
Sunday when some vulnerable congressmen were
convinced to support it – has suddenly become a weapon.
If politics were war, Republicans would have just
been lured from their walled city to chase a force
they thought was retreating, only to find Democrats
suddenly turning and attacking them head-on.
Even before the bill passed, Obama had begun pounding
the message that the new legislation would
immediately benefit many Americans, and cast
Republicans who opposed the bill as greedy sons of bitches.
Hours after the bill passed, Robert Gibbs set
the talking points: “If people want to campaign on taking tax cuts
away from small businesses, taking assistance
away from seniors getting prescription drugs, and want to take away
a mother knowing that their child can’t be discriminated
against by an insurance company … we’ll have a robust
campaign on that,” he said at the Monday briefing.
Democrats have taken up that banner and run with
it. Obama’s signing of the landmark legislation
Tuesday at the White House only added to Democrats’
surprising momentum.
