Catholics Against Biden

A new blog which displays this great quote from The One's running mate:

"The next Republican that tells me I’m not religious, I’m gonna shove my rosary beads down their throat!"

BTW, in addition to his public advocacy for legalized abortion, I would argue that Biden is in a state of mortal sin with those gawd awful hair plugs in/on his head.

The Mainstreaming of Bad Hair Plugs

So Joe Biden, who is as gaffe prone as they come, has been selected by The Obamessiah to be his running mate. I tell ya, if John McCain loses in November now, both he and the Republican Party will officially be beyond lame.

The Suckiness of California Continues

Sexual orientation, i.e., the sex of a person you prefer to have intercourse with, as a protected class in California is an unfortunate reality.

Note: I wrote the "friend of the court" brief mentioned in the linked to press release. Lot of good it did.

The Illogic of Animal Rights Activists

Apparently, the Pope can't really love cats if he continues to wear Ermine weasel furs.

Said weasels, btw, are intolerant carnivores that eat fluffy bunnies and little birdies.

What Do You Call a Lawyer with an IQ of 30?

Your Honor.

Damn Pop Culture

I just couldn't read this otherwise serious story without giggling and thinking of Stiffler's mom. (h/t)

Note to Self

Don't assume that most California Superior Court judges or commissioners, especially in Orange County, are interested in technically correct applications of the law with respect to written discovery responses. These political brown-nosers, who are way too full of themselves, just can't be bothered with actually having to think.

Sports Semi-Celebrity Sighting

In town because his team was playing the Los Angeles Angels O'Anaheim, Boston Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell showed up for Mass at my parish in Costa Mesa this past Sunday.

I'm more than certain that the priest's homily about angels was purely coincidental.

More Obamisms

Dude is either stupid or he's planning on something IF elected. (h/t)

Well, Alright!

The U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals pretty much recognizes the personhood of the unborn in upholding South Dakota's abortion consent law.

Obamisms

And they say George W. Bush is stupid? (h/t)

"I remember, when living for four years in Indonesia as a child, I listened to my mother reading me the first lines of the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they're endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." -- Obamessiah (Harvard Law '91), 6/30/08 - Independence, MO

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. -- The first lines of the Declaration of Independence, 1776

"As we begin our fourth century as a nation, it is easy to take the extraordinary nature of America for granted." - Obamessiah, 6/30/08 - Independence Missouri

2008 - 1789 = 219. Does 1 + 1 = 3 now?

I Want To Believe

Spooky is back!

Schism Here, Schism There...

Rad Trads say "up yours" to Rome, as do conservatives in the Church of King Henry VIII.

Clarification: Conservative Anglicans are specifically saying "up yours" to the liberals within their own communion, although I suppose you could say that their very existence as Anglicans generally expresses the same sentiment to Rome.

Outstupiding Himself Again

That would be Justice Anthony Kennedy, who along with four other boneheads on the Supreme Court, believes that "evolving standards of decency" renders the execution of brutal child rapists unconstitutional.

The abject dumbassness of the Court majority opinion in Kennedy v. Louisiana, which Justice Kennedy wrote, is nicely expressed by Justice Samuel Alito:

The Court today holds that the Eighth Amendment categorically prohibits the imposition of the death penalty for the crime of raping a child. This is so, according to the Court, no matter how young the child, no matter how many times the child is raped, no matter how many children the perpetrator rapes, no matter how sadistic the crime, no matter how much physical or psychological trauma is inflicted, and no matter how heinous the perpetrator’s prior criminal record may be. The Court provides two reasons for this sweeping conclusion: First, the Court claims to have identified “a national consensus” that the death penalty is never acceptable for the rape of a child; second, the Court concludes, based on its “independent judgment,” that imposing the death penalty for child rape is inconsistent with “ ‘the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society.’ ” Ante, at 8, 15, 16 (citation omitted). Because neither of these justifications is sound, I respectfully dissent.

Ouch

Here and here.
