"The church has a profound need to relearn
penance, to accept purification, to learn on the one hand forgiveness but also the necessity
of justice. And forgiveness does not substitute justice ... We have to relearn these essentials:
conversion, prayer, penance." -- Benny the Rat, trying to get away
with something,
Link
No Benny, you and your henchmen need to learn how to use the phone.
When a priest gets caught raping a child, you need to call the
police and say,
"Yep, we have another one - come get the son
of a bitch."
That bullshit about "relearning penance"
is nothing but weasel words
that a criminal uses when he intends to continue his raping of
kids.
God is watching - and each time you throw a rape complaint in
the trash
God puts another mortal sin mark on your blackened soul, preparing
your eternity in Hell.
(Of course that's all crappola, but IF he believes it...)
"Republican Pat Toomey sums up his campaign
in his first commercial — 'more jobs, less government.'"
"Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey defended
his support for Arizona's new, controversial, anti-illegal immigration law on Thursday,
adding that Arizona law enforcement officials need to be careful that they "'implement its law without
civil liberties abuses.'"
"Pat Toomey gained the endorsement of the Independence
Hall Tea Party PAC Sunday." Should I continue?

I have no control over those Google ads.
They promised they'd only run Lefty ads but they screw up constantly.
You'd think a company as big as Google would have half a brain...
"We’ve never seen anybody crash and burn quite
as spectacularly as Tiger has. This isn’t just one aspect of his life that fell apart. It’s everything
- physical, mental, emotional - all going kaflooey together. All it lacks is a felony charge to
qualify as a total disaster." -- Mike Celizic, Link
But Eldrick did commit a felony.
After he drove drunk and wrecked his SUV, he went to sleep in
the damn street.
The cops gave him a free ride because the super-rich don't have
to play by our rules.

Trouble Quotes
"Sen. Bob Bennett's weekend loss in Utah has
officeholders of both parties (Horseshit)
concerned about the deepening anti-incumbent mood heading
into the fall midterms. Bennett may be the first of many sitting lawmakers to fall in primaries...Bennett
lost in Utah largely because of its unique convention system, dominated by party activists, which denied him
a spot on the primary ballot. Had the general Utah Republican electorate had its say Bennett might very well
have survived."
-- David Mark, senior big shot at Politico, Link
The Teabaggers are just right-wing Rethugs
with poor spelling.
They're out to lynch every Rethug to the
Left of Hermann Goering, which is fine by me.
Democrats don't have that "screw them all"
fever that plagues the hard right.
Of course, Dems could panic like schoolgirls
and lose the farm, anyway.
"If they truly want more bipartisanship, they
are going about it the wrong way. These so called "new senators" are going to be more partsian than
before and the logjam in Congress will be even greater. Republicans have
a history of replacing those who are
not conservative enough with those even further to the right. Republicans
are going to drive the voters to either
the Democrats or to the independent movement. The Republicans don't seem to realize what they're doing to their
own party."
-- Jim Scott, Link
"The government is making big changes to the
No-Fly list. Apparently, asking terrorists to be
on the honor system has not been working." -- Jay Leno, being "funny" again,
"28% of Republicans said the recent oil spill
in the Gulf made them MORE LIKELY to support drilling off the coast. They're not
just staying the course in the face of this disaster, the disaster is actually convincing them that we should
do more drilling." -- Public Policy Poll,
Link
If the Democrats had any brains (Should I bother to finish
this sentence?) they would get
every rethug on the record, on video right now, saying they support
offshore drilling more than ever.
Then, when that oil slick sours every beach from Padre Island
to Hilton Head,
all the Democrats have to do is run the footage of the oil whores
selling out.
It's so easy, children could do it.
So why can't our Democrats be as smart as children?
"That's how it works with them: Abstinence-only
not working? More of it! Magical thinking not working? Pray
harder! Tea-baggery not changing enough policy?
Get more extreme! It's a pattern with them...If what
they're doing isn't working, they aren't doing enough of it." -- jmrunning3, Link
Back in the early 90s, I worked for PR firm in
Washington.
One of our clients was the Marine Spill Response
Corporation (MSRC).
MSRC was set up in response to the regulations
implemented after the Valdez disaster.
Congress briefly insisted that the oil companies
have some means of containing and
cleaning up spills - so they pooled resources
and set up MSRC.
And it worked a treat. It was well equipped,
staffed and trained. It had the people and tools
to quickly contain and clean up spills. The only
problem was that it cost a bundle. It's damned
expensive to keep ships and crews and equipment
on standby in the event that a spill might happen.
MSRC had crews in lots of places ready to go
- as they were required to do by law.
Until the Republican Revolution of 1994.
Once Gingrich and co took control in Washington,
the rules that forced the creation of MSRC were among the first to be repealed.
MSRC was shut down overnight.
The MSRC teams could have contained the Deepwater
spill within days if not hours.
But, as Palast notes, oil companies like BP are
bloody cheap.

"They have a solemn responsibility to do one
thing: ask her directly and openly and in front of the American
people: Are you a lesbian?" -- The American

I wonder how many times Bryam Fisher has had a man in his mouth?
The one's who scream the loudest are always the closet
pole smokers.
Just ask George Rekers, co-founded the conservative Family
Handjob Council,
He's the guy who got a topy from Rentboy.com and went to Europe
where he could be himself.
