Test Results.

In an effort to keep down the cost of health insurance, the company where I work is providing a free, on site clinic for the employees who have the company's health insurance.
To take advantage of this, I had to have a medical evaluation which included a blood test. The results of the test came in a few days back and I had my consultation with the nurse practitioner Thursday.
Most of my numbers look fine.....with the exception of my triglycerides and LDL which were both a little too high.The NP remarked how pleasantly surprised she was with the level of my HDL. She said most men have very low levels of HDL.....far below the 40 mg/dL minimum. Mine was 51 which puts my LDL/HDL ratio at 3.2 which ain't bad. I believe the HDL number I have comes from my eating a lot of fish and drinking a lot of tea.
Still, even with the 3.2 ratio, it's a good idea to reduce my LDL. The NP recommends I try omega 3 fish oil supplements. I'm also going to cut down on the fried foods, egg yolks and switch from whole milk to low fat.
I've an appointment to have another blood test in August so we can see if changing my diet can change my bad cholesterol levels.
I'm optimistic.

Silly Susan.

I wish I had a dollar for ever time a Hollywood celeb announced that if "such and such" Republican candidate is elected President of the U.S., they've leave the country.......but are still here in spite of what they'd promised.
Now it's Susan Sarandon's turn. She said recently, that if John McCain is elected, she'll move to Italy.
Odd, she should choose Italy, considering her dislike of Pope Benedict XVI. She is quoted as saying,
"This particular Pope is not one of my favourites," she says.
"I am pretty suspicious of him and my only message to him is that he should become more compassionate and more involved in what the world needs now instead of his archaic kind of outdated, misogynist infrastructure the Church has going now."
My choice for Pres. is Libertarian, Bob Barr, but I'd like to see McCain win - if only to see her leave.

Vatican Confirms Excommunication of St. Louis Group.

Today, I read an article in Zenit about the decision by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to confirm an earlier declaration from the St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke to excommunicate the board of directors of the St. Stanislaus Kostka Corporation ( formerly, St. Stanislaus Kostka parish ) and their priest, Marek Bozek.
Of the priest, Zenit has this;
"The priest involved, Father Marek Bozek of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, had left his priestly assignment against the expressed will of his bishop, Bishop John Leibrecht, in order to be hired by the St. Stanislaus Kostka Corporation."
In an interview from April, 2006 Bozek said,
"In November, I asked Bishop [John] Leibrecht for a leave of absence from Springfield. I explained that I felt called to serve these people without sacraments. A few days later he called back and said the archbishop didn’t want me in St. Louis. On December 2, I told Bishop Leibrecht that I needed to follow my conscience."
Now, less than five years after he was ordained (on his 28th birthday) in the diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Bozek finds himself excommunicated.
In Archbishop Rayond L. Burke's weekly column in the St. Louis Review , the Archbishop writes,
"On December 15th of 2005, I was obliged to declare the excommunication of the members of the Board of Directors of Saint Stanislaus Kostka Corporation because of their persistence in schism. The members of the Board had committed the most grievous delict of schism by hiring a suspended priest, that is, a priest not in good standing in the Church, for the purpose of attempting to celebrate the sacraments and sacramentals at Saint Stanislaus Kostka Church, all outside of the communion of the Catholic Church. The priest in question, the Reverend Marek B. Bozek, a priest of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, had left his priestly assignment against the expressed will of his bishop, Bishop John Leibrecht, in order to be hired by the Board of Directors of Saint Stanislaus Kostka Corporation."
From the Archdiocese of St. Louis web site:
Background to the Decision of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Issued May 15
December 15, 2005: Archbishop Burke declares the members of the Board of Directors of the Saint Stanislaus Kostka Corporation excommunicated because they formed an "independent entity" outside the Church and hired a suspended priest as their pastor.
March 23, 2006: The Board of Directors appeals the archbishop's decision to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican office that has jurisdiction over matters of schism.
May 15, 2008: The Congregation rejects the appeal made by the Saint Stanislaus Kostka Board, because the Board was "negligent" in fulfilling formal requirements for an appeal. The Congregation confirms the Decrees of Excommunication issued by the archbishop, because the Board members continue to operate in a state of schism.
The Congregation encourages the Saint Stanislaus Kostka Board members to withdraw from their schism. They have 30 days to exercise their right to present an appeal to the Congregation's "Cardinal and Bishop members."

The church's web site has this,
"2005 - Despite many efforts to solve the property dispute with the Archdiocese, which involves administrative rules only and not dogmas or morals, Saint Stanislaus was left without a priest and sacraments for over seventeen months. Upon receiving the approval of the Parish vote, the Board of Directors began the search for a priest courageous enough to minister to Saint Stanislaus parishioners with or without the Archbishop’s permission. On December 2, Father Marek B. Bozek from the neighboring Springfield – Cape Girardeau diocese was hired to be our Pastor. On December 16, both the Pastor and the members of the Board of Directors were excommunicated by Archbishop Burke and all Catholics were warned that participation in any services in Saint Stanislaus constitutes a mortal sin. On December 24, the first Mass was offered in our church in over seventeen months, the Christmas Midnight Mass. Over two thousand people gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus and rebirth of our Parish. Appeal against excommunication was filed with the Holy See."

The St. Stanislaus Kostka Corporation claims this is just a disagreement over property rights.....the Archbishop ( and now the Vatican ) say it is about the group not accepting the authourity of the Catholic Church over the local parish.
"It is evident that the Board Members have committed the delict of schism by constituting St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish as an independent entity capable of appointing its own clergy apart from the hierarchy of the Church," wrote Cardinal William Levada, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

I've seen photos of the church on their web site and it's very beautiful and I can understand the attachment the parishoners have for it, but they have removed themselves from the Church and are now excommunicated because of their love for something "material" ( a building ).

NAUMANN VERSUS SEBELIUS.

An article on the http://www.catholicnews.com web site reports that Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City imformed Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius that she should stop receiving Communion until she changes her stance on abortion.
Archbishop Naumann has met with Gov.Sebelius on a number of occasions and expressed his concern over her receiving the Blessed Sacrament while maintaining her public support of abortion and abortionists.....particularly the infamous Dr. George Tiller.
According to Operation Rescue, Gov. Sibelius likes to hang with Tiller and has been known to party hardy with the not so good Doctor.
At one time, Sibelius was on the short list for running mates for Barack Obama (should he win the nomination). I don't know the status of that list, now. Is it possible that she may be too much of a political hot potato for the VP slot ? With Democrats, you never know. She could be seen as a way for Obama to placate the white, feminist Democrats he dissed with his usurpation of the nomination from Hillary.

More on the Savannah Trip.

I'm quickly using up my vacation days for this year; we've had a number of extra days off and I used up a few by getting vacation pay for those days.
We received a stimulus check from the Feds but it was going fast as well.
So, we decided to use the Memorial Day weekend to take a vacation while we still have a few extra dollars.
We arranged to meet some friends (who live in Greenville, SC.) in Savannah, GA. I found a motel that still had rooms available (at a reasonable rate) though we had to get rooms about 20 miles from the beach.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of using Mapquest for directions to the motel. Steps 9 to 12 were wrong:
9: Merge onto GA-21 S via EXIT 164A.
10: Turn RIGHT onto GA-204 W/ABERCORN ST
11: Turn LEFT onto MALL BLVD.
12: End at 114 Mall Blvd Savannah, GA 31406-4728

Step 9 took us WAY off course.

We did manage to find our way to the motel, and the trip was, otherwise, enjoyable. I'll be writing more about the trip in a few days after my photos return from the lab (my wife uses a digital camera, but I prefer the old SLR).

More on the Barr Candidacy.

No doubt, the Libertarians made a good choice picking Bob Barr as their presidential candidate.
The second place choice, Dr. Mary Ruwart, would have been a disaster. She reportedly signed the, so called, "911 truther statment" and made some disturbing statements in the past concerning child porn:
"Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it's distasteful to us personally. Some children will make poor choices just as some adults do in smoking and drinking to excess. When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will." (from "http://www.reason.com/blog/show/126164.html").
I'm not so sure about the Libertarian candidates for other offices. I'm not impressed with the Party's candidate for the U.S. Senator for Georgia, Allen Buckley.
With Barr, the Libertarians may, for the first time since 1980, capture more than 1% of the popular vote and might actually receive an Electoral College vote......something they've only managed once before (in 1972). Would it be too optimistic to hope they could carry one State?
Barr may not be able to do what no other Third Party candidate has ever done, but, he will have an impact on this election.... if only as a spoiler.

More on Google Earth.

The Google Earth program can be fun....but it has it's limits.

I like seeing over head shots of the city where I live.The photo above shows where the Oostanaula River and the Etowah River come together in Rome, Ga. to form the Coosa River.

In select cities, you can zoom in and get 3D images of buildings like the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Atlanta, seen below.(This is the church where my family went to Mass when I was growing up and it has a sentimental value to me.)


The photo below is of Dumaguete, Philippines.....my home away from home.


Google Earth is interesting, but honestly, I doubt I will get a lot of use from it.There's just so many over head geographic shots I want to see.
Oh, yeah.....the flight simulator might be more fun if I didn't crash every time.

Now, it's official.

Google Earth Photo.

I downloaded Google Earth and the first thing I did with it was zoom in on the apartments where we live.
This photo was taken with the Snipping Tool that comes with Windows Vista.
The apartment is, more or less, in the center of the photo.The roads form a sort of triangle on the bottom right.You can see six apartment buildings up from the upper tip of the triangle.Ours is the second from the left end.

My Neighbor's Method of Child Rearing.

It's not quite 9:00 AM. Outside, the air is cool and, rather than turn on the air conditioner, I've opened the front door of the apartment.
My neighbor has stepped outside and is using his cellphone. He's talking rather loud and it's impossible not to overhear his side of the conversation. He's upset; he was called to the High School yesterday because his teen aged son was thrown out of school. The offense: it seems Jr. cut his hair into a "mohawk" and dyed his hair purple.
I'm trying to imagine how my dad would have reacted had I done the same.He would not have been happy.
Now, my neighbor wasn't happy, either. But, where as my dad would have been upset with me for acting like an idiot, my neighbor was upset at the school for having sent his son home.
While talking to whoever on the cell phone, my neighbor felt the need to let loose with every obscenity in the English language.(It seems he may be one of those folks who can't complete a sentence without the words F#$% or S%^& in it).
He told the person on the other end that the school Principal advised him that he would have to watch his language or he'd be escorted from school property.
The school authorities had given him the option of taking the son home and washing out the purple color.......purple hair is too much of a distraction to be allowed at school. "Well", my neighbor told them, "F#$# school policy!!!!".
Just another example of our culture going to hell in a hand basket.

Caps Lock Dysfunction.

Today's topic, ladies and gentlemen, is the correct usage of the Caps Lock key on your computer's keyboard.

One would think that such a topic would be unnecessary; after all, the when and how to use the Caps Lock key should be basic common sense. Sadly, that isn't the case.
We are all familiar, via chatrooms, text messages and emails, with someone who types everything with the Caps Lock on.Wikipedia says this;

"On Internet chat systems, forums and Usenet, typing a sentence in all capitals is considered rude, the large letters akin to shouting or yelling within the social context. On a more practical level, text written in all capital letters, a result of engaging the caps lock, may be difficult to read. The 'Caps Lock Theory', is often referred to in Internet chat forums and states that there is an inverse relationship between a person's use of the caps lock and their knowledge of a particular subject. There are known groups of people whose Internet communities are based entirely around the use of the caps lock key."

Very little has been written, though, on the writer who, like some ee cummings wannabe, types everything in lower case.I came upon one such writer this morning and I have to say that his use of all lower case letters was very distracting.It was difficult to concentrate on the subject of his blog. I got the idea that he was just too hip, just too cool, just too avant garde.

The third example of Caps Lock Dysfunction may be the most irritating of all. There are people (usually young girls) who actually type alternating upper and lower case letters in the same word. (THis iS ReAlLY ANnoyiNG BeYOnD woRds.)

The motto seems to be,
"If you have nothing worthwhile to say, then alter the rules of grammar, case and/or spelling."
For those of you who are ignorant of the proper use of letter case, this from Wikipedia should help;

"In English, capital letters are used as the first letter of a sentence, a proper noun, or a proper adjective, and for initials or abbreviations. The first person pronoun "I" and the interjection "O" are also capitalised. Lower-case letters are normally used for all other purposes. There are however situations where further capitalisation may be used to give added emphasis, for example in headings and titles or to PICK OUT certain words (often using small capitals)."

The Foundling.

She and I had known each other for a little over a year when she confided in me her belief that she was not the biological daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B., as most thought, but was instead, a foundling left on the door step of the B. family house not very long after her birth.

My first thought, upon hearing this, was one of automatic disbelieve……do mothers abandon their infants on door steps and would the authorities allow the finders to keep the child ? I set aside this disbelieve, considering that she was speaking of a different time and place. She was born in Mindanao in 1968 and it’s quite possible that such a thing as that could have happened then and there.

She told me that many times as she was growing up, Mr. B. would, in a joking sort of way, tell her friends that she was not his daughter. It was he that first mentioned that she was, indeed, a foundling although he always acted as if he was only playing and having fun. Sadly, one could never be certain whether the tale was true or just the product of a warped sense of humor.

At one point, I’m not sure at what age, she decided to take the matter up with Mrs. B. to determine if she was, indeed, a foundling. She told me that when she asked Mrs. B. for the truth, the woman could only cry and would not answer the question directly. She reasoned , quite correctly I think, that a biological mother would have not had any hesitancy in telling her child, immediately upon hearing that question, that they were mother and daughter.

People talk and she would hear the occasional story about her biological mother. She learned, from these rumors, the identity of the woman and would spy her from a distance though never getting the nerve to confront the woman face to face.

The woman is dead now, so the foundling would never be able to talk to her and find out the full story. Why was she abandoned? Who was her father? These questions would go unanswered.

Mr. and Mrs. B. had several other children; one daughter just a year older than the foundling ; the rest born afterwards. None of the B. children would be able to enlighten her.
The youngest of these "siblings" is a girl, twenty one years her junior. This girl is now nineteen.

I’m no longer in contact with these people, but I have seen recent photos (thanks to the Internet and Friendster). I was taken aback when I saw the most recent photos of the younger “sister”. Now that she has matured into a grown woman, the resemblance between the two women is very remarkable and striking.

How can they look so similar if there is no biological connection?

I, of course, have no evidence, but it seems logical to me that the reason for the physical resemblance between the two is because they share the same father. I suspect that Mr. B. is the father of the foundling.

Did he commit adultery 40 years ago ? Did the foundling’s mother choose to abandon the infant at the B. family house because Mr. B. was , after all, the father of the child?

A Patel Quien Jelo Update.

Not long after posting the series on Patel Quien Jelo, I attempted to continue the series by posing as another potential victim for Ms. Jelo (using the name Wanda Tuinphro).
Unfortunately, the scammer didn't take the bait.....actually said that Wanda's ID looked fake!

Yesterday, I received this comment on The Adventures of Patel Quien Jelo; Part 1 from someone going by the name Tash.
"Tash said,
hey there! just looking up what gold durst exactly was only to discover that QUIEN JELLO is also a LETISHA AISHA EZEH????
yeah she contacted me last saturday and it didnt open it until monday...Wow this chick is full on hey? she'll try anything by the souds of it..
I have to say the biggest thank you to you all for this blog and sharing your stories on here..
I was going to fall for it too!!
and would have if i wasnt searching for wat this "gold durst"
was...so whats happens now? has she never been caught?"

So, it looks as if Ms. Jelo may have felt that identity was vulnerable, so she (?) has morphed into Letisha Aisha Ezeh.
That's good to know. Should I ever receive an email from that one, I'll know to use someone other than Fred, Misty or Wanda to reply.

Extraterrestrial Life and the Vatican.

Fr. Jose Gabriel Funes, head of the Vatican Observatory and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict, said recently that there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
I was sent a link to the story by a non-Catholic friend (without editorial comment).This fellow often sends links to any story that mentions the Vatican.....I'm not sure why he sent this one.
Was he trying to get a rant from me?
I don't have a problem with anything the good Father said.He didn't say the universe was populated by little green men with antenna, but rather, that it's conceivable that life exists outside this planet.Is that so far-fetched?
Reuters reports this concerning Funes and his remarks,
"How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere," he told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview in its Tuesday-Wednesday edition, explaining that the large number of galaxies with their own planets made this possible.
Asked if he was referring to beings similar to humans or even more evolved than humans, he said: "Certainly, in a universe this big you can't exclude this hypothesis".
George Noory of Coast to Coast AM sees this announcement by Funes as a way for the "powers that be" to prepare us for an upcoming announcement that we are already being visited by ETs. Of course, Noory never met a kook he didn't bond with and I can't take seriously anything he has to say on the matter.

How Big Oil Offed John Lennon.

I'm not able to listen to Rush Limbaugh's radio program as often as I'd like......usually only on the way to take J.P. to the baby sitter and then on to work.
Sometimes, like yesterday, I get lucky and can hear something really out of the ordinary during that brief time period.
Just before 2:00 o'clock yesterday, I listened as a self described liberal caller told of Big Oil's role in the assassination of Beatle John Lennon. The caller explained how Big Oil.....through it's agents, Reagan and Nixon....used Stephen King to kill Lennon because they (Big Oil) realized that had Lennon lived to 2003 he would have been able to prevent the current Iraq war, which Big Oil desperately needs to help keep gasoline prices high.
Here is the transcript of that call:

RUSH: Here is Ken in Brooklyn. Ken, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. You're next.

CALLER: Nice to be on your show, Rush, thanks.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: You know, for once I agree with something you said.

RUSH: What's that?

CALLER: I'm a typical, you know, quote, unquote, liberal. That we should open up more refineries and produce more, not drill more, not go into ANWR, not do a lot of things, but produce more, yeah.

RUSH: Well, how are we going to produce more? How are we gonna refine more if we don't have more to refine?

CALLER: Well, it goes back to the merger I think a year ago with the two biggest oil companies merging, made the biggest corporate merger in history. We have to realize that the man behind the curtain in our government is Big Oil. They own presidents; they rig elections; they are in complete control; they are aligned with the military. In fact, every time a war breaks out, gas spikes 50 cents a gallon.

RUSH: Hm-hm.

CALLER: And we have to deregulate. I mean, we have to unmonopolize the oil business. We have to not be under their thumb and not, you know, be the people ignoring the shoes and the cuffs behind the curtains, we have to stand up to Big Oil.

RUSH: Hm-hm.

CALLER: Now, that doesn't mean not producing more petroleum refineries.

RUSH: Uh-huh.

CALLER: But I think we're being strong-armed by Big Oil with high gas prices --

RUSH: Hm-hm.

CALLER: -- to make us say uncle for ANWR.

RUSH: Hm-hm. What do you mean, uncle for ANWR? What do you mean?

CALLER: I think they're raising the prices to make us cry "ouch."

RUSH: So that they can grab more oil to monopolize us with?

CALLER: So that they'll ply us away from resisting ANWR.

RUSH: I see, the lights are going off now. So this is all a ruse to get us to drill for more oil so we'll have even more monopolistic control over us?

CALLER: Pretty much, yeah.

RUSH: Okay. So you think Big Oil is pretty much unregulated, they get to do whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it?

CALLER: Well, did anyone see a trial for John Lennon's murder? They own the media.

RUSH: I see your point.

CALLER: And, by the way, did you know Bill Clinton met with Stephen King in the mid-nineties in the White House?

RUSH: Stephen King or Stevie Wonder?

CALLER: Author Stephen King --

RUSH: Stephen King.

CALLER: -- and Bill Clinton met.

RUSH: That's right, I forgot, damn it, you're right.

CALLER: And Nixon and Reagan used him to kill John Lennon.

RUSH: Well, you can't leave Stephen King out of this.
CALLER: No, he's the evil ogre that haunts us in the middle of our dreams.

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Nixon and Reagan used Stephen King to wipe out Lennon --

CALLER: (plug)

RUSH: -- and Monday Night Football so that Cosell would be able to announce the assassination.

(crosstalk)

CALLER: Like the Roman arena. And we never did see a trial.

RUSH: No, but I mean the lunatic that shot Lennon got sent up.

CALLER: A year-and-a-half after the murder he pled guilty behind closed doors. There was no trial.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Yoko didn't complain. She used Nixon as the ace-in-the-hole.

RUSH: And Big Oil was behind this?

CALLER: Well, Big Oil wants that oil, and they knew John Lennon was the one thing that would have stood up to this war and united the public against it.

RUSH: John Lennon would stand up to which war?

CALLER: This war we're in right now. They had to plan 20 years ahead --

RUSH: You mean Big Oil working with Nixon and Reagan and Stephen King wiped out John Lennon back in, what was it, the seventies?

CALLER: 1980, December --

RUSH: 1980.

CALLER: On Jim Morrison's birthday, 1980.

RUSH: That's right. No coincidence there, either, is there?

CALLER: No.

RUSH: So you have 24 years ago Nixon and Reagan conspiring with Stephen King to convince some idiot to go out and waste Lennon because they --

CALLER: No, no, no, no, no. Stephen King --

RUSH: Well, because they knew 24 years later we'd be in Iraq, and only John Lennon could stop it?

CALLER: That's right.

RUSH: Okay!

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Okay, that last caller, what was that last caller's name? Ken from Brooklyn. He was right about two things. He was right when he said that we haven't built a refinery in too many years, and he was really right when he said he was a typical liberal. I, ladies and gentlemen, had planned on offering -- because he was talking about oil and pollution -- I was going to give him a Rush PAC. I was going to give him a Rush PAC from Allen Brothers, great steaks and hamburgers and hotdogs, I was going to give him one of those just to be nice, but I gave up the plan halfway through the call because I figured all the guy would do is take it out and lay it at the grave of John Lennon and who knows what would happen to it then, so I decided against it.

Mehmet Ali Agca's Assassination Attempt.

Today is the 27th anniversary of Mehmet Ali Agca's assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square.
On June 26, 2000 Pope John Paul II released a statement in which he said that Ağca's assassination attempt was the fulfillment of the Third Secret of Fatima.

The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917.

I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.

After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.

Bob Barr For President.

It's not often that I find myself in disagreement with Michelle Malkin, but she doesn't like the idea of a Bob Barr Candidacy .
I'd been hoping for a top notch Libertarian to run for the Presidency and with his announcement that he will try for the Libertarian Party nomination, Bob Barr appears to be the one I've been waiting for.
With Barr as President, we won't be seeing the wild Federal spending that both the Democrats and Republicans are so fond of doing.
An Obama Presidency would be a disaster for this country......and McCain is a closet Democrat.
I supported Barr when he was the Congressman representing my district.You couldn't ask for anyone with better Conservative credentials.
There's already talk that Barr will take away votes for McCain giving Obama the edge.This wouldn't have happened had the Republican party stayed true to it's core constituency.
If Barr becomes the "spoiler" then so be it.
If he gets the Libertarian nomination, he'll have my vote in November.

"His Noodly Appendage" ?

Regular readers of this blog know that I appreciate a good parody. I've had a few posts using a parody news website to try and get a few laughs.

This past week, I've been looking into the, so-called, "science" of Intelligent Design (ID) and saw immediately that ID deserved being parodied. But, before I could come up with something really funny on my own, I came upon "The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster". (CoFSM).

The parody religion is the brain child of Bobby Henderson, who, for his own amusement, sent an Open letter to the Kansas School Board after he learned the school board was holding a hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution.

Wikipedia has this;
"Because intelligent design implies the existence of an intelligent, but not necessarily omnipotent or omniscient designer, some, like Henderson, argued that this designer could, in fact, be anything imaginable."

That, really, isn't too far removed from what Voltaire said about "The Watchmaker Analogy" from which Intelligent Design , huh, evolved.

"[F]rom this one argument, I cannot conclude anything more, except that it is probable that an intelligent and superior being has prepared and shaped matter with dexterity; I cannot conclude from this argument alone that this being has made the matter out of nothing or that he is infinite in any sense [i.e. that he is God]."

From that letter to the Kansas school board, the "religion" - whose members call themselves Pastafarians - has spread at a phenomenal rate.

The CoFSM is popular with atheists and agnostics (known by Pastafarians as "spagnostics") who use it in their attack on religion, but to me, it is more an attack on ID and those who attempt to force their beliefs on others.

The CoFSM web site is located here:

The Matsya Avatar and the Flood.

Not at all happy with evolution and other assorted scientific theories, a group of Protestant fundamentalists have come up with the "science" of "Intelligent Design".

Having read a few of their ideas, I'm reminded of a quote from Voltaire, who said,
"The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire."

Likewise, Intelligent Design isn't an Intelligent Design.

Among some of the ideas favored by the ID folks is the claim geological evidence proves that a world wide, great flood had occurred in ancient times.That evidence, they say, proves that the flood mentioned in Genesis happened just as the Book says and is not a religious allegory.

But, isn't it just as likely that the flood evidence might, instead, prove that the Hindu tale found in the Satapatha Brahmana - known as the flood of Manu -could have happened rather than Noah's tale.

In that story,while washing his hands,Manu came across a fish which (it turns out) happens to be Vishnu's Avatar Matsya. At one point in the tale the fish says to Manu,
"In such and such a year that flood will come. Thou shalt then attend to me (i.e. to my advice) by preparing a ship ; and when the flood has risen thou shalt enter into the ship, and I will save thee from it."

To make a long story short, the world is destroyed by flood and only Manu is saved....his boat coming to rest upon a mountain.

Ah.....I guess not. That story is much harder to fathom than the story of Noah's Ark. (he said, tongue firmly in cheek).

Operation Chaos.

First, a bit of background information for my readers outside the U.S..
Quite a number of conservative Republicans have blamed Democrat and independent voters, who crossed over to vote in the Republican primaries, for John McCain's success in those primaries thereby giving him the momentum to capture that party's nomination.
Republicans in the later primaries really had no choice.......voting for a different Republican candidate would have been a wasted vote.
Along comes radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh with his plan for Operation Chaos.For months, Rush has been asking Republicans to cross over and vote in the Democrat primary.....for Hillary Clinton.
There seems to be little doubt that this has had an effect on the primary.It's difficult to determine exactly how many Republicans have done as Rush asked, but Hillary has managed to remain in the race longer than she would have without these crossovers.
Of course, many in the mainstream media have misunderstood the motives behind Operation Chaos. The liberal talking heads say that Republicans are trying to get Hillary chosen as the Democrat candidate because she will be easier for McCain to beat.They've missed the point.The objective of Operation Chaos is to keep the Democrat primary process going on as long as possible so that the Democrats will continue their in-fighting......thus causing chaos within the Party.
Operation Chaos has been more successful in this than could have been imagined.As long as Hillary remains in the race the more likely there will be further chaos at the Democrat National Convention.
It's not going to be pretty.

Family Photo.

I've spent most of my blogging energy, lately, putting in posts that do not have anything to do with my life.
As a change of pace, I want to put up a recent photo of me, my wife and our son.

Mildred Loving, Who Battled Ban on Mixed-Race Marriage, Dies at 68.

On Yahoo news, I read,
"Mildred Loving, a black woman whose challenge to Virginia's ban on interracial marriage led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling striking down such laws nationwide, has died."

The stories, found elsewhere, go on to say,that Mildred Jeter was 11 when she and 17-year-old Richard began seeing one another.Mildred became pregnant and she and Loving got married in Washington, D.C. in 1958, when she was 18.

Five weeks after their wedding,in Central Point, Va., the county sheriff and two deputies, acting on an anonymous tip, burst into their bedroom.The Lovings were arrested.
The couple pleaded guilty to violating the Virginia law, the Racial Integrity Act. Under a plea bargain, their one-year prison sentences were suspended on the condition that they leave Virginia and not return together or at the same time for 25 years.

At the time, it was one of 16 states that barred marriages between races.
Most of those states outlawed marriage between whites and blacks, although Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia outlawed marriage between whites and "all non-whites".
Mississippi and Missouri outlawed the marriage between whites and "blacks and asians" while Texas specifically banned the marriage between whites and Filipinos.

Thanks to the Lovings, the Supreme Court case "Loving v Virginia" put an end to, so called, anti miscegenation laws.

On the 40th anniversary of the ruling in Loving v Virginia, Mildred Loving has released a public statement .There were comments given after the statement.One idiot had this to say,
"Obviously Loving was a case of activist judiciaries run amok. These activist judges have overturned the solemn will of the lawfully elected legislatures in all fifty states. This type of meddling in the name of ‘unenumerated’ rights can not be allowed to continue despite what the ninth amendment may or may not say."

Richard Loving died in a car accident that also injured his wife.
"They said I had to leave the state once, and I left with my wife," he told the Star in 1965. "If necessary, I will leave Virginia again with my wife, but I am not going to divorce her."

Philippine Surgery Video Update.

According to Google Analytics,my April 18 post on the Philippine doctors who removed a cannister from a man's rectum [Video of Surgery could put Philippine Doctor's Future at Risk] received the highest number of hits of anything I've posted.
With that in mind, I'm posting an update.
An article in the Cebu Daily News tells us,
"The medical personnel involved in the Internet scandal at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) will be reassigned to other departments in the hospital while waiting for the results of the investigations of the Health Department and the Ombudsman."
At the time I posted the previous entry, the video had been removed from Youtube but now, it seems, it has returned. The video cannot be embedded but I can provide a link to it.
Incidentally, the canister was identified as "Black Suede Body Spray."

Update:
embedded video now available.

Dear Ms. Jelo,
I am Misty's older sister,Felony.
My sister has confided in me about you and it is her wish that I contact you know by way of her email address.
After her last email to you, my sister went to our father's house to ask him for five thousand dollars. When she could explain to him why she needed the money, he refused to give it to her.
Misty was screaming and crying and was very upset with our father.A few hours after she ran out of his house, she attempted to kill herself. The doctors say the poor girl took an overdose of docusate calcium and she is lucky to still be alive.......thanks be to God for that.
Misty is still confined in the hospital. A full recovery is expected. I saw her in the hospital and she asked me to send this email to you.
She will contact as soon as she is released. I will contact you should things take a bad turn.
Take care.
Misty sends her undying love,
