Illinois, Delaware, and points between, with both hands tied

Allusions abound in this Joycean blather from Mrs. Hickey’s boy Patrick, today in and about the swamps of Illinois (Capitol Fax Blog) and Delaware-become-national politics (the O’Donnell overcoming the GOP regular for the Biden seat), with a small pearl inserted in the middle: “Marque Kirque” for senate.

If these be illusions, make the most of them, but not before working through the thickly populated text.

So be my advice to readers on this 15th day of September, year of Our Lord 2010. Amen.

As for the state in question, see here for Perry Como’s contribution: Words

and

Music!

So be my advice to lovers of fine music.

Perry:

A week late, I see.

Good-doers on parade: Catholic Campaign

Embryo — Human development at early stage

Intrepid Church Reporter at Campaign for Human Development awards:

Good show Sept. 1 at St. Stanislaus Kostka School, where 100 or more gathered for awarding of Chicago Campaign for Human Development funds. Reps of awardee organizations trooped up one after the other to be interviewed by Father “Rocky” Hoffman of Relevant Radio. It was a parade of do-gooders looking good. The hall exuded benevolence, even as a few hard-core brothers and sisters of the Alinsky-style persuasion more or less lurked in the shadows.

This babe is in the woods

Azteca News reporter Inez Sainz protests ill treatment by football players, in their locker room. They made jokes when she entered.

[Tamron] HALL [of MSNBC]: What kind of jokes were they making? What were they saying?

SAINZ: Yeah. “Oh, she’s here! Look, I want to be Mexican,” and something like this. But I don’t feel bad in this moment because I say, “Okay, they are guys joking and that’s it.”

But she did not feel harassed until another female reporter told her she should feel harassed:

Tamron Hall says, “You didn’t feel harassed?” Because Ines Sainz says (doing impression), “No, I didn’t feel bad in this moment because, as I say, I was looking at the [QB] Mark [Sanchez] locker. I was looking for Mark and his locker room [sic], and these guys are just joking and that’s it,” and Tamron Hall said: Wait a minute! You’re not following the script here, babe. “You didn’t feel harassed?”

SAINZ: Noooo, I didn’t feel harassed — and then go and wait for Mark, and then, eh, a colleague of mine, a female reporter come with me and say, “I’m so sorry. It’s so disgustin’ that this things happen. It mustn’t happen,” and she’s very upset. I tried to calm her and say, “Let’s pretend nothing happened. I’m focusing on my job.”

HALL: There was ANOTHER female reporter —

SAINZ: Yes. I think they —

HALL: — who said that she was DISGUSTED by the way the players were talking to you?

SAINZ: Yes, because she is hearing what they are talking about. She’s closer for the — the — the players, and I was all in the locker so she’s the main witness of everything. [Italics added]

A case of being a “knife and fork short of a full place setting,” per veteran observer Rush Limbaugh. On the other hand, honest about it and getting Tamron Hall upset too.

STAY WITH THE NARRATIVE, LADY!

Catholic bishops buck Democrat dominance

If you don’t start with respect for life, you are off on the wrong foot, say bishops of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin? Where the Big O. raised four times the money McCain raised in ’08? Them bishops rock.

Let my people go

Free Market Economy (with new watchman) — Start with shops like this . . .

Thing is, you got to let people do as they please. That’s the way to economic boom. Let them do it! Laissez faire, as the French say. They have a way with words.

It’s the first thing that socialists don’t get. Gummint does not help.

Mosque not

No money coming for the Ground Zero mosque from Saudis “and other traditional financiers of such mosques and Islamic centers.”

And public pressure has forced [Imam] Rauf to rule out raising funds from foreign governments or such militant sources as Iranian foundations or Palestinian Hamas.

So the “community center with a prayer room” and Rauf are “on the ropes,” says Judith Miller.

If we knew, someone would have had to kill us

Wash Post, NY Times, and Time Mag have been making sure we did not know about things for our own good:

June, 1991 – World leaders are gathered for another closed door meeting of the Bilderberg Society in Baden Baden, Germany. While at that meeting, David Rockefeller said in a speech:

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.

But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” [Italics added]

Egad, these guys nuts, or what?

Later, Reader D.:

Too bad the Times and Post don’t use the same restraint over US military secrets they happen upon.

Five years old and nuts already

Locations of Ivy League Conference full member... — The Ivies

It’s people like this who give Ivy League professors a bad name:

April 1972 In his keynote address to the Association for Childhood Education International, Chester M. Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychiatry in the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University, proclaims: Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being. It’s up to you, teachers, to make all of these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.

Go for it, Teach.

BTW, have some sources?
