Good Friday
Just another reason intelligent life never actually stays here after their visit. It also helps explain why they return everyone after they are probed.

Passover
What????
I think people think it's like Easter where one gets Peeps, eggs and chocolate. Instead of plagues and bitter roots.
I guess the only overlay in the Venn Diagram of the two observances is that the first born son is killed. If only Jebus had some lamb's blood above his door.
If only.
There ain't nothing 'happy' about it.
But it seems that people don't get the movie - as cheesy as it is - the 10 Commandments. I don't truly think they associate it with Passover.
I mean pre-cable TV, for years it was lumped into being seen once a year, the same weekend as the Wizard of Oz. All of it fantasy to most.
I can guarantee you, 99% of the people who saw the movie had heard of "Moses" and no other character in that movie. Though you gotta laugh at Edward G. Robinson playing any role in that.
Honestly, Jebus was a Jew and is there any mention of Passover in the New Testament? There are people who will say that the last supper was a Seder, but..........I dunno.
A quick Gooooooogle search will say the NT "suggests".......fill in the blank for your own cherry picking. I'm beginning to think Jebus wasn't a very observant Jew. Yeah yeah - he died on "Good Friday" before sundown, but.........that just seems convenient for storytelling. You gotta back that "three days" (really, 36 hours) from your contrived "Easter Sunday".
Of course, it would all be contrived.
None of it is the word of g-d. It's the word of men. And I go with the Tracy Chapman lyric on this:
There is fiction in the space between / The lines on your page of memories / Write it down but it doesn't mean / You're not just telling stories.

Crucfiy
I actually considered saving this for my xmas day post, but I think some of you might have that even that might be too over the line for me.
As if!
It totally explains why we've never really seen life from other planets / galaxies / solar systems here on this blue marble
Just because I laughed at the comic doesn't mean it is not 100% accurate. That might have been why I laughed, now that I think about it.

Neon Bible
I don't post a lot of meme-related material, but now and again, I saw one that just one a few days back and it just stuck with me and kept coming back into my memory.
I would have fucking loved to know all the reactions she got.
Of course, simple geography would tell people this - or should - but people are stupid, so........ I'm sure they all took offense and didn't believe anything that piece of cardboard had to say.

O.M.F.G.
I mean, while I suppose a priest could rape Fido, in a pinch - clearly while Catholic church might want to mount their young victims doggie-style, they would rather they only have two legs.
And you - with your cats and dogs - are depriving the entire church by not having fresh, tender rump roast for them to impale.
RUDE!
Seriously, you know the papacy has to have a director of communications, right?
I mean, they have to know the inevitable responses and how a statement like this plays out in the media and more importantly, social media, right? RIGHT?
Isn't this an organization that should expressly stay away from comments on children?
Rape and sodomy aside (as if!) - still, the only thing people not having kids is doing to the Catholic church is depriving them of sheep providing them money so they might worship at their altar - literally and figuratively. They're potentially on track to miss the folks who would believe what their parents believed and never question a thing.
It's like a sports team: you choose a team you like, randomly at a young age, and then stick with it for no apparent reason other than it's the one you know.
Honestly, wouldn't you rather have a dog or cat?

a Living Prayer
I wanted to title this post "Suck My Dick", but I had no songs with that title......though there are PLENTY of songs out there with that title.
So, I'll start off this post with: SUCK. MY. DICK.
This was just days after our "fearless" governor tweeted this pile of bullshit.
Mike DeWine has had some presence in Ohio politics since I was a wee lad, be it State Senate, U.S. House, U.S. Senate, Attorney General (of Ohio, that is) and now Governor. And I needn't remind you, it's been a fuck of a long time since I was a wee lad.
He is a career politician. I'm guessing able to do nothing but to put food on his table.
In that 40+ years of 'serving the people' he has - in my mind - had seven good weeks of public service. And those would have been in March - May 2020.
I'd argue, save Andrew Cuomo, no other governor was more proactive and visible (in a good way) than DeWine, seemingly doing everything right....................until he didn't.
DeWine caved when it came to making, opening things up and releasing data tracking of school Covid positive testing. He became what he has always been in his 40+ years (minus seven weeks): weak.
Listen, I didn't watch the debates, but it sounds like anyone there, watching or hearing about them - from all angles - it was a train wreck. So DeWine's two lips were firmly planted on BLOTUS' shitter (there were nicer ways of saying that, but I'm beyond being 'nice'). I mean, what kind of fucking tweet is that? You don't have to be derogatory - just don't send any tweet.
But the Day of Prayer. OMFG.
First off - as far as I know, we, as a state, have never had one, so.......I'm calling BS on this from the start. Let alone the first recipients to whom it is presented.
Gee Mike - I don't remember Days of Prayer for the 4,931 (and counting) Ohioans who have died from Covid. Or the other 159,964 (and counting) who have or had Covid.
Yet you get one soul sucking / country destroying "president" with it {ALLEGEDLY! - as I still think it is a tactic (and working too!) to distract from his tax evasion narrative}, and now you send out shit like this.
Forget kissing the ass anymore Mike. Just eat the turd that comes out of his ass already, because that is the next step, right?
I'm still trying to figure out what job in BLOTUS' potential new administration this guy wants. Clearly he hasn't been paying attention. All of them are extremely temporary jobs. But have at it Mike.
You are a disgrace.

Love on the Rocks
Well, since I don't know the exact moment Tiffany will be speaking at the RNC, I've opted not to watch.
And of course, there is the shit show that is Jerry Falwell Jr and Liberty Liberty Liberty University. (I know, now you're gonna have that jingle in your head all. day. long. You're welcome!)
I might be a little graphic in this post, so make sure you have your parent's consent to go any further.
Ok - I cannot be the only one to believe that this Jerry's Kid is utter fabrication, right?
There are a few parts I believe, of course. There was a years long affair. There was a pool boy. There was a "trainer". There probably wasn't his wife's pregnant assistant or a costume party. I'm 99% sure there was cuckolding.
However, it wasn't the pool boy boning Mrs Jerry Jr. while the "resigned" president watched. Noooooo. Nooooooo. Noooooooo.
Jerry was the one taking it up the poop chute. And Poolie was degrading Jer in front of his wife....assuming his was actually ever there - or even knew about it. At least until the pics started leaking a few years back.
Hence the pic with Kathy Griffin's trashy younger southern cousin. Trying to throw anyone off the track. That, clearly did not work.
So, my theory is: since Falwell Jr is worth about $100MM, his wife was ok with taking the fall for all of this - for a nice hefty pay-out......and a one way ticket out of Lynchburg. First class.

the Chosen One
And can we try to forget the stupid fucking ass Greenland purchase?
I do find it sad that his staff actually has to back him up and go on air and say that this is a real thing.
While I'd rather not focus on it at all, but we shouldn't ignore BLOTUS' stance on Jewish loyalty.
“If you want to vote Democrat, you are being very disloyal to Jewish people and very disloyal to Israel.”
I know some people are making the stretch of Hitler's "the Jews are not loyal to the state". It's not the first nor last Hitler reference to come his way.
But this is just a gateway comment to sooooo many things - and none of them will end up well.
I totally get there are some Jews who support BLOTUS - and I'm guessing it's mostly due to Israel, or they're big-assed bankers. Deep down, I'd like to think they have to know he has streak of anti-Semitism running through him.
How does one reconcile white supremacists and neo-Nazi's are 'very good people' and not condemning shooters of synagogues or the guys who are building up to do a shooting - and pulling a voting lever in his favour.
But the quotes set these gun-loving, Jew-hating white men (I mean, it's not even generalizing, is it?) to "punish" the "disloyal". It's damning, it dangerous, and he knows it, as does his staff.
Why do Steven Miller, Ivanka and Jared think they'll be spared from the "I hate Jews" brigade? I mean, I think they do think that, but that's not quite the way it works.
BLOTUS is ramping up to something. Maybe it's just 2020. His 2015 kick off was about Mexicans being rapists and murders. Now that he's got them deported or locked up in cages, he's doubling down on the Jews.
Honestly, if you're not afraid yet, you should be.

Praise You
He might have too short of an attention span to commit it to Blogger, but he has no issue finding me and SMS'ing me stuff. I'm not complaining.......at his advanced age, any use of technology helps keep him from another day of fighting against the inevitable Alzheimer's.
He sends this to me, and when I comment back, he turns on me like he was a cast member of the original Dynasty. If I were physically there, we'd be wrestling till we both went into the pool.....or at least our stunt doubles would.
FYI - he send me this and then tells ME to "grow-up" . Mind you - there might have been some exchanges between the video and the comment, but I'm sure it was nothing I said.
(....and yes, you have to watch avec sound!)
Oh - now I remember. I mentioned this chick didn't need to keep it tight for Jebus. He was not only into dudes........but groups of dudes.
But do not be creeped out by Jebus. Be creeped out by the lack of blinking. "Let me see those 'praise hands'" might be my favourite part. *
I don't see this getting Mike to church..........or to exercise...........unless it's flapping his gums, which is his cardio (via keystrokes). Still, the man can make me laugh........even if it's just on the inside. But, that's where it counts.
*is probably Mike's favourite part too

GIve
So far, people have donated nearly a BILLION dollars for one church's renovation. Singular
I get it. It's a nice church. But it's a catholic church - an organization who has no trouble covering their own fucking costs. They have more than billions. Hundreds of billions at the very least. Granted, they need a chunk of that for moving priests around and paying off lawsuits, but they can do that on the interest alone.
I DO care when BLOTUS via Fuckabee-Sanders, that the U.S. would offer "assistance". Even Disney is giving $5 million (another organization that could find the total cost in their seat cushions).
By "assistance" I do hope Fuckabee means we will help carry some 2x4s from point A to point B. Because if we give one fucking dime to this project I will lose it. We have more than enough things to fix with money we're already in debt for - a church in France shouldn't be one of them.
Some sheriff's deputy son - a white guy, I might add - allegedly has burned down three black churches......in the south (surprise! surprise! on all of those elements..............NOT!). I don't see the White House pledging funds for those, but it's not only not their base, it would upset their base should they give any $$$ to them thar houses of worship.
People are bitching about Flint not having clean water - and they don't. But they have the funds. While BLOTUS takes credit, Obama signed that funding. But it's in form of a loan. The city has to pay that back.
Still we have lots of things this country should be putting our monies toward, as a country. A building in France by a group of money-grubbing religious zealots shouldn't be one of our donations.

Hate on Me
Let's pretend the pipe bombs to current and previous government leaders didn't happen (or that somehow mid-level 1990s Three Doors Down somehow didn't get dragged(?) into that scenario) or that some white guy shot black folks in a grocery store because he couldn't work a door at black church.
I would say it's harder to ignore 11 killed at temple. I'd say when it is the deadliest attack on Jews in the United States.
It should be said again: THE deadliest attack on Jews in the U.S. Ever.
News programs aren't really saying that. Here and there, but they're kind of burying that fact.
The media and the FBI called the mail bombs 'domestic terrorism'. You can slap that this motherfucker in Pittsburgh too. It's religious terror too.
The Anti-Defamation League logged a 57 percent rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the United States in 2017, compared to the previous year - and the largest increase since they started tracking 30 year ago.
Pop Quiz, hotshots: What happened in 2017 that might allow for the meteoric rise in Jew-hating? It may or may not have happened on or around January 20th.
BLOTUS' comment this not happening if the temple and it's members had just been armed themselves.
What. The. Fuck.
As someone on the interwebs said: if the freedom to practice your religion requires a gun for protection, it's no long freedom of religion.
This rhetoric is nothing new for this shell of a 'man'......or anyone else in the NRA's pocketbook. Yet people buy it hook-line-sinker. Or enough of them do.
710 accurately said the other day - there is disbelief and no longer a call to action. There was plenty for a school in Florida just eight months ago - but where it is the outrage now? Could it really be because it was Jewish related? If so, I'm horribly sickened.
So I'll ask again: where is the faux-Heeb first daughter? Where is that dweeb-heeb of a son-in-law? They're Jewish when it suits them, but not enough to stand up - publicly - to denounce this behaviour that her father won't. They don't dare not tow the line
No doubt the two of them will tag along on a trip to Pittsburgh - a trip the city and the synagogue don't want to happen - and make a display and mockery of themselves and their faux-caring.
While some Jews do not believe in Hell, Jared better hope one doesn't exist.......because if there is, they got a place waiting for him. Ivanka too, but in the shiksa section.

Losing My Religion
A Religious Liberty Task Force?
First off - why? In what world does the Dept of Justice need that for? Yes, the question is rhetorical.
Said 'task force' will "enforce a 2017 DOJ memo ordering federal agencies to take the broadest possible interpretation of “religious liberty” when enforcing federal laws."
Jeff Sessions characterized the task force as a necessary step in facing down the prevailing forces of secularism. “A dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom which must be confronted and defeated, ” says she.
During the announcement of this Sessions specifically mentioned support of bakers refusing service to homos. Good thing that justice is blind, eh?
So, as far as I can tell, we are talking - surprise surprise - conservative christian task force. I have heard zero mention of Jews, Black christians, Hindus, Muslims or Jedis.
You can dress it up any way you'd like Granny, but we are two steps away from the new Inquisition.
