Four Catholic Ladies And Their Sons

Email in circulation

Also found at Rebel Angel.

Even if you didn’t grow up Catholic, you’ll appreciate this one….

Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together, discussing how important their children are.

The first one tells her friends, “My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him ‘Father’.”

The second Catholic woman chirps, “Well, my son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, ‘Your Grace’.”

The third Catholic woman says smugly, “Well, not to put you down, but my son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say “Your Eminence.”

The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle “Well…..?” She replies, “My son is a gorgeous, 6’4″, hard bodied, well endowed, male stripper. Whenever he walks into a room, women say, “My God.”

White House Attempting To Marginalize Fox News

When the New York Times begins to take notice of a problem with the White House administration, it must really be in their face to have to stand up to make the point.  Behind the War Between White House and Fox. 

…the fight was part of a larger White House strategy to marginalize critics.

Newsbusters describes the problem quite succinctly.  NYT: White House Attacking Fox Because It Is News, and That’s the Problem. 

A Couple And Some Memories At The Fence

Joke of the day.

The humor underlying this joke is not what you think.  Frankly, it is hilarious.  Captured from the email box.

American Party Crashed By The Pigeons

The Big Fur Hat and Monkey Pig 2 have some creative license on display.  Hurry and see The Birds of sorts, while it is still up.

The chief Democrat has taken on a new major role in Hollywood.  The Pigeons.

It was a child’s birthday party, a lovely day. But then the pigeons came, evil pigeons, bent on wrecking even the most basic of American traditions.

Clown Insufficient To Distract Cell Phone User

Distracted By A Cell Phone? Some Cell Phone Users Fail To See Unicycling Clown Passing Them.  Science Daily. 

They documented real-world examples of people who were so distracted by their cell phone use that they failed to see the bizarre occurrence of a unicycling clown passing them on the street.

Compared with individuals walking alone, in pairs, or listening to their ipod, cell phone users were the group most prone to oblivious behavior: only twenty-five percent of them noticed the unicycling clown. The walkers not using a cell phone noticed the clown over fifty-percent of the time.

Interesting use of a clown for a scientific study.  No surprises there as most people get so immersed in their cellular telephone conversations sometimes, that the world surrounding them becomes irrelevant.

American Troops In Afghanistan Await Support

Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy is Indecisive, Says Vice Chair of Senate Intel Committee .  CNS News. 

Cheney: Obama Endangers Troops by ‘Dithering’.  ABC.  Speech text.  Weekly Standard.

Five months later, in August of this year, speaking at the VFW, the President made a promise to America’s armed forces. “I will give you a clear mission,” he said, “defined goals, and the equipment and support you need to get the job done. That’s my commitment to you.”

Ummm, really?  It is now October 23, 2009.

It’s time for President Obama to make good on his promise. The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger.

Make no mistake, signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries. Waffling, while our troops on the ground face an emboldened enemy, endangers them and hurts our cause.

“68,000 U.S. troops.  68,000 reasons why the president should ‘listen to the generals,’ as candidate Obama said.”

Antitrust Regulation Repeal And Public Option On Health Insurers Looming

House Targets Insurers With Antitrust Challenge, Public Option.  Bloomberg.

The House Judiciary Committee yesterday voted 20-9 to approve legislation that would ban insurers from engaging in price fixing, bid-rigging and market allocation. The measure may be added to broader health-care overhaul legislation.

Senate Democrats to strip health insurers of antitrust exemption.  The Hill.

McCarran-Ferguson Act enacted by Congress in 1945.  Wikipedia review.

Now the Democrats plan to stitch together a public option while pinching the insurance companies, to deliver their brand of health care reform.  Will it happen? 

So much for the insurance companies previously supporting Democratic health care reform.  Now they are wavering.
