Another post about nothing.

Larry does it every Sunday, so I am going to copy him. That's just sad, I know. But I'm a broken man and I need some laughs.

Did you hear about the nun that got kicked out of her monastery because she was always on Facebook? No, it wasn't that Carmelite lady - it was that Spanish nun, Maria Jesus Galan, a Dominican. She set up the monastery to be online, got a huge following on Facebook, maybe skipped a couple of those fun monastery recreations to bang on her keyboard all night, and mother superior jumps the gun and boots her out. What would happen if Fr. Z online 24/7 lived in community? Maria Jesus Galan wants to see the world now that she is out. I hope someone tells her the story of the singing nun... "2 good 2 go 4 boys". Then she killed herself. What?

As the Holy Father said - the Internet is incontinent - no wait - it's the new continent? I don't know - but whenever Catholic bloggers/facebookie-twits are cautioned about how much time they spend online - they come up with the incontinent excuse and that the Holy Father said they should be 'out there'. One pastor evidently takes that admonition so seriously he answered his iPhone during Mass. He's obviously hip and well connected.

Republicans - can't live with them, can't live without them. I know. I'm as apolitical as I am asexual however. Is that bad? Never mind.

Republican South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint lashed out recently against a group he deemed was becoming a cadre of "political animals": the Muppets. Evidently the Muppets are protesting funding cuts to PBS... The Senator accused the Muppets of inappropriate political behavior. I always knew the Muppets were no damn good. Miss Piggy is nothing but a slut.

So anyway - Sarah Palin leaped back onto the news scene telling the Wisconsin Badger people not to fall for the pinko-commie-union bosses propaganda machine and sacrifice their job stability, pay and benefits for the common good... in other words, look for new work and let the citizens of Wisconsin settle for fewer and more mediocre teachers rather than pay living salaries to men and women who are just scraping by as it is. Homeschooling isn't always an option, but it sure would help the budget if everyone did it, huh? Gol-darn-it!

So who is a Catholic to listen to these days anyways? Republican Tea-Partiers or their Bishops? When did the United States and the Republican/Tea Party/ become Catholic? When did it become a sin to support unions? Archbishop Jerome Listecki of Milwaukee appears to support the rights of workers and unions... "'The Church is well aware that difficult economic times call for hard choices and financial responsibility to further the common good,' the archbishop said. 'But hard times do not nullify the moral obligation each of us has to respect the legitimate rights of workers.'" - Zenit

So what am I supposed to think? That's a good question isn't it. (That's not a question.) Everyone seems to want to tell people what they should think... what they are supposed to to think and do and say and write. Weird.

More importantly of course, the Obama's definitely were not invited to the wedding. William and Kate didn't invite the Sarkozy's or Sarah Ferguson either. You see, presidents and upstarts come and go, but monarchy reigns.

Once in 3rd grade the teacher, Mrs. Rotenberry, whose husband was a Lutheran minister, pulled my hair and shook my head trying to force me to say there was no Santa Claus - I never gave in. No one tells me how to think.

That's all.

(Seriously, I don't really care about any of this. So yell at me in the combox if you must.)
