Hah, Rudy. Had almost forgotten the little hypocrite.
Did he get a blow job from any altar boys?
Rudy who?
Communion for Rudy, no communion for Kerry.
Ratzo evidently loves GOPers.
Being a good Catholic only counts if you are John Kerry.
When did Atrios switch to his own domain?
No, of course he doesn't care that he broke the Church's ban. Nobody can tell Rudy what to do, after all.

He creates his own reality.

Obviously, the rules are different for made men like Rudy than they are for the common rabble.
Didja catch Ratzi's l'il cape today? Fetching.
Bill Maher's apology last night was half assed and tepid. Bill Donahue of the Catholic League to press forward with the firing of Maher from HBO.Until that time, a boycott of HBO will be initiated.
Having on last Friday's program (as reported by my colleague Matthew Balan) "stated that the Pope 'used to be a Nazi,'" Maher was supposed to apologize for his transgression.
Well, if the nonsense he uttered last evening is what liberals call an apology, it should act as a grander indictment as to what's wrong with the extreme-left in our nation (video embedded upper-right),/i>
The old link on my blog roll brings me here. But then I'm a witch.
It's not like he wasn't going to Hell even before this.

To be fair to Giuliani...it really is between the priest and the parishioner.
I am divorced. I instigated the divorce. I was married in the Church. I went to confess to a Paulist priest (I even told him I'd had an abortion), and after assigning a minor penance, he told me that I was absolved, and that I could take communion again in the good graces of the Church.

It's not the weird rituals of the religion. It's the hypocrisy. Giuliani is like a Tony Soprano but without much of a dick.
If it's between Egan and Rudy you can forget it. Egan's a canon lawyer and his specialty is Yoo-like legal reasoning. He'll figure out a way not only to make sure that Rudy! gets communion, but a way to get him sainthood.

Nope, there was always a sizable minority who didn't join. .....And then there were some people who actually had problems with Nazis and such. Der Uber Pope apparently was not one of those.

Well, to be fair, he was only following orders.
I have to reject Atrios' assertion this is a non-story. Rudy was running around on the teebee after he left the presidential race, trying to rehab his image. He continues to behave like a public figure, and everything he does is part of his public image. When he stops selling himself then what Atrios says is right, but he's still at it.

The excuses trotted out for Ratzi are that he was forced to join and he really didn't like it are fine. I have no problem with forgiveness.
That being said, for the Catholic Church to elect a member of the Hitler Youth and the Wehrmacht as Pope sends a very specific message, IMHO.
ah, yes. I know it well--the reluctant hitler youth.

Exactly. I'd be as willing to excuse this as a dumb mistake as I am to excuse the Lind kid's dumb mistake. Youth and all. But it ought to disqualify you from leading a major world religion. It's not as if there weren't other options for the catholics. They wanted a Nazi, they got a Nazi, fuck them. I'm calling them Nazis.

I really have no problem with the fact that he was in the Hitler Youth insofar as I do not think it, by default, means anything. Whether that should disqualify him from being the Pope is something the Catholics will have to work out.

Presidential Recipe Thievery
04/18/08 @ 07:08:35 am, by Kate Hopkins 166 views • Categories: Food Media, Writing
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this story. The Short version of it is that Cindy McCain, wife of Presidential candidate John McCain, had several "family recipes" posted upon their campaign website, and had submitted a recipe to the New York Sun. The only problem? They were nearly word for word the recipes found on the Food Networks Website.
Two thoughts immediately come to mind:
First: If you read anything on a Presidential Website regarding food, rest assured it is there to do one thing and one thing only - to craft an image. The chances of the wife of a high profile politician to do regular home cooking is nearly laughable. The recipes - any recipes - are there merely to give the impression that cooking on a regular basis is done.
Second: Technically speaking, they did nothing wrong. Recipes are not copyrightable, and thus impossible to plagiarize, at least not from a legal point of view. The Food Network has as much claim to the recipes for Passion Fruit Mousse as does Cindy McCain, which is to say, none at all.
The "issue" here is that a politician (and yes, the spouse of a Presidential Candidate is as much of a politician as the candidate themselves) was caught lying. Quelle surprise!
Thanks to Jack from Fork & Bottle for the heads up

If you were, hypothetically, 15, and if you and your friends, hypothetically, used your key to get at the stash of, hypothetically, altar wine, it would, if you were 15, get you drunk, but it would not, even then, hypothetically, be good wine. Which is odd, when you realize they think this stuff gets transformed into the blood of their god. I'm just saying.

All there were gods of the highest eminence. Many of them are mentioned
with fear and trembling in the Old Testament. They ranked, five or six thousand
years ago, with Yahweh Himself; the worst of them stood far higher than
Thor. Yet they have all gone down the chute, and with them the following:
Arianrod, Nuada Argetlam, Morrigu, Tagd, Govannon, Goibniu, Gunfled, Odin, Dagda, Ogma, Ogryvan, Marzin, Dea Dia, Mara, Iuno Lucina, Diana of Ephesus, Saturn, Robigus, Furrina, Pluto, Cronos, Vesta, Engurra, Zer-panitu, Belus, Merodach, Ubilulu, Elum, U-dimmer-an-kia, Marduk, U-sab-sib, Nin, U-Mersi, Persephone, Tammuz, Istar, Venus, Lagas, Beltis, Nirig, Nusku, En-Mersi, Aa, Assur, Sin, Beltu, Apsu, Kuski-banda, Elali, Nin-azu, Mami, Qarradu, Zaraqu, Ueras, Zagaga
Ask the rector to lend you any good book on comparative religion; you will
find them all listed. They were gods of the highest dignity - gods of civilized
peoples - worshipped and believed in by millions. All were omnipotent, omniscient
and immortal.
And all are dead.
