Bush lied, lies, is lying. Impeach him now

My Sunday sermon:

He lied. He lies every day in his public pronouncements and in his deeds. His lies have depleted America’s bank account, killed thousands in an unjust war. He has destroyed an America of law and replaced it with a country of incompetent men and women with motives contrary to true democracy.

In the name of freedom, he has attempted to place the shackles of theocracy on our wrists and ankles, and the shroud of false fear over our souls, breaking the First Commandment in the name of Christ.

He has broken the law set by the U.S. Constitution (unlawful search and seizure, for starters), and has cavorted with the moneychangers.

Save this man’s soul from further self-destruction. Save America. Impeach him now. At the very least, fight the unjust motives of this administration at every turn.

Lost Baseball Cards, Wealth

John Dufresne's blog got me going again, as it is wont to do. He writes today about his mother burning his baseball cards in the backyard trash barrel.

My mom didn’t burn my baseball cards but I know she threw them away, God rest her wonderful soul. Before we moved to Hollywood, Fla., (I was nine) from Monessen, PA, I gathered my collection in bulk. My brother had a weekend job buffing the local drug store floor. (Tommy Janoscik, the pharmacist, was our neighbor.) I “helped”; my brother got money and I got boxes! whole boxes of cards! with the gum. Being a Pirate fan, of course, I’d get several Bob Friend cards, many Bill Mazoroski’s, Roberto Clemente, Stan “The Man” Musial (the Cardinal’s family lived across the valley). I’d pick up several Micky Mantle’s at a clip; many biggies. I even had some gold legend cards, Honus Wagner (pictured), like that.

I was the trader man on the block. I could trade for anything so you can imagine the collection I had amassed.

When we moved to Hollywood (no baseball team) I got into other things like swimming and snorkeling. So I guess my mother thought I didn’t need the shoe boxes stuffed with baseball cards anymore. She swore she had no idea what happened to them. Now she’s gone and so are the baseball cards. Could have been my early retirement right there.

Ah, yes, shit does flow downhill!

Bush and his corpulent corporate cronies are trying to slip another slick fast one on us. They want to do short-form infrequent reports on releasing toxins. May as well tie us down and inject the crap directly into our veins. Says here attorneys general from twelve states oppose it so far. Says too, low income hoods, where polluters like to set up their tents, would be harmed the most.

God punishes Alaska Senator with Volcano Eruption!

This just in! Ted Stevens gets his due for pushing a futile effort to destroy his state by drilling for enough oil and gas to last the country for, oh, maybe a year! And his efforts in wasting taxpayer money trying to build a bridge to nowhere also punished!

God responds by setting off a volcano! Pat Robertson scratches head in wonder.

I've been busy and not posting much, obviously. God bless you if you're reading this.
