Say it ain’t so, Harry, please

Oh brother (where are thou when we need thee?), not only must we wonder if Harry Reid’s parents were married, pending production of a wedding certificate, but now a worse allegation has arisen, in the much-acclaimed or at least -consulted Urban Dictionary:

“Harry Reid,” the dictionary now says, is defined as “[a]n unofficial rap sheet of alleged pederasty and sexual abuse of minors by anonymous sources that may not exist.”

The definition emerged, the dictionary notes, “after an explosion of reports surfaced online and on the airwaves, that [Reid] is a serial pederast. The outlets reporting the allegations all protected the anonymity of their sources, and no one knows if the allegations are true, but they’re out there. A spokesperson for Reid declined to deny them.”

Come onnnnn!  A majority leader about whom such important matters are uncertain?  We can’t have it, I say.  We simply can’t have it!

The tone-deaf mayor

Bloomberg and the Sikhs:

Mayor Bloomberg, on a visit yesterday to a Sikh community in Queens, turned a moment that called for the delivery of condolences to magnificent, patriotic population of immigrant Americans into yet another opportunity for posturing and double-speak on guns.

His one-track mind:

The mayor’s hysteria on this issue is pushing him into a territory where, if he goes much further, his integrity is going to be questioned.

Says crime not guns is his concern, but:

he keeps talking about illegal guns. To the Constitution, he feigns fealty. “Guns,” he said yesterday, “you have a right to carry by the Second Amendment. The courts have said that municipalities, states, and the federal government have the right to enact reasonable protections to the public.” In fact the Supreme Court has left only a little leeway to the states and municipalities — schools, hospitals, government buildings — and the Mayor doesn’t agree with the court.

Turn him off.

If this isn’t sweet, I don’t know what is

Making silk purse out of sow’s ear

. . . by responding to D. Wasserman Schultz, Dem spokesperson, who said:

Republicans in Congress would obstruct President Obama from having cereal for breakfast if they could.

The only chance we have to change Washington is to defeat the House Republicans standing in the way of America’s progress.

 

Etc.

To which I:

Debbie, give us time on that cereal for bkfst thing.

The ghosts of Gutenberg . . .

. . . in our midst every day:

[I]f the monastery gave birth to the intellectual of the medieval world, it was capitalism that let him loose with the printing press.

(I wonder if Pres. Obama believes that publishers and authors, such as the New York Times Company and Thomas Frank, owe royalties and other money to the heirs of Johannes Gutenberg.)

Treasurer Dan Rutherford’s Harry Caray’s Party

Very attractive candidate this fellow, ready to take Quinn on.

It’s the Dan Rutherford Chicago Networking Party. Music, drinks etc. Tuesday, July 31, 5:30-7:00 PM at Harry Caray’s in Chicago. The cover charge is $60 — http://www.danrutherford.org/calendar/event/18/EventDetails.aspx

He’s State Treasurer if you don’t know. (Reading Chi noosepapers you know far more about Lisa What’s her name, daughter of the evil genius Mike What’s his name.) Made wind-up speech at recent state GOP convention, was obvious standout in the day’s beauty parade.

How to Stop Lusting in One Step

Love, love, hooray for love:

When you love you see a whole person.  When you lust you see only a body or body part(s).

When you love you give for the other’s good.  When you lust you take for your own pleasure.

When you love you’re willing to suffer for another. When you lust you’re after pleasure, even if it costs someone else.

When you love, you reserve physical desire for one. When you lust, you desire recklessly, anyone will do.

Pius X Catholics hold off for now on their return to Rome

The breakaway traditionalist Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) would rather not return to full communion with Rome right now, but maybe later. �Meanwhile, some decks were cleared, as regrding who’s in charge:

The July 19 statement . . . �underlined the group’s dedication to Catholic Church, saying that “the supreme power of government over the universal Church belongs only to the Pope, Vicar of Christ on earth.”

They also reiterated their deep suspicion of Vatican II:

The SSPX proclaimed its determination to uphold the teachings of the Church, but said that these teachings must be interpreted in the light of the “uninterrupted Magisterium.” The statement drew the line at “all the novelties of the Second Vatican Council which remain tainted with errors.”

So if they come back to Rome, it will be with an agenda which will be mightily displeasing to progressives.
