DuhNooz! Ya gotta have it!
From The Washington Post: “On the most solemn day in the Roman Catholic calendar, a senior Vatican priest ignited a fresh chapter Friday in the debate over the priest abuse scandal by comparing criticism of the Church and Pope Benedict XVI to the historic persecution and ‘collective violence’ against Jews.” (1)
So the biggest religious gang in the world is having one of its major-leagers compare itself to one of the smallest. Jews are complaining. Wait, people. It’s OK. we’ve been assured that this guy speaks for himself, not the church. Even though he is preacher to the Pontiff, who was in the audience. Duh-h
We’re told the economy is adding jobs at a modest clip. Some 190,000 or so last month, compared to 4 million or so LOST in the past year. So that’s not nearly fast enough to bring down an unemployment rate still hanging around 10 percent.
But worry not, flock. Your president, who unlike the Pope, was not present when a certain preacher he knew made certain obnoxious comments is preaching about the problem. And we know that’s all it takes. Besides, he says (again) “we’re turning the corner.”
Governors threatened? Wow! More than 30 governors have received letters from an anti-government group demanding that they resign within three days or face removal from office.
The letters from the group, Guardians of the Free Republics, do not threaten violence, according to officials. And we’re all very fortunate, because the WP tells us that no arrests have been made in response to these citizens petitioning their government. Duh-h
But wait! Hang on, people, for breaking news from the FBI. The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group’s call to remove governors from office could provoke violence.
So there. Beware. Speakest thou softly when it’s about thy gods, lest thou provokest much awesome anger.
Hah… now here’s what we’ve all been waiting for: Daddy-O has explained the new cure for our health he’s so graciously giving us. In what he called point three of a 17-minute answer to a subject’s question he let it all hang out. “Point number three is that the way insurance companies have been operating, even if you’ve got health insurance, you don’t always know what you got.”
Remember, people. You now know what you got. Just keep remembering. And remembering. And remembering… Close your eyes, repeat for 17-minutes and it’ll all become clear. (2)
But hark. Here’s the REALLY important stuff. It’s iPad day. Apple’s curious new people-companion that’s been called too big to carry, therefore not too big to fail, is finally here. And, just in time, we’ve figured out its main reason for being: with a case to carry it in, men will finally have a reason to carry a purse. One that they can finally explain without having to grumble, “NO, it’s not a purse and no, I’M NOT GAY!”
