Day 23 of Pray-In

This was e-mailed by an ex-husband, life-long Air Force buff, who thought I might enjoy it because it shows women's progress towards equality. And with that you should be able to figure out why he's an Ex; didn't know me then; doesn't understand me now. Apart from the obvious religious and racial slur, most feminists do not consider learning how to kill anonymously like men is a bonus point on the equality scale. One would hope that a matriarchal society would abhor war and frown upon their children dying for trumped up, political rhetoric and usurped resources gained.

Not that I'm claiming females are less vicious than males. I have known some righteously pathological Donna Reeds. But again with the fairy tales. I'm sure all women who fought their way into being pilots (and at least we applaud their stamina) are THAT good looking. Yeah . . . We all have our fantasies.

DEAR GOD: For once, I'm so stunned by the ignorance that I'm at a total loss for words. Can't Tweet this anyway, since today my fellow nerds are calling for a Twitter black-out. That company is considering censoring submissions - and just when we successfully demonstrated how SOPA could go to hell. Ya never learn, Thought Police! And God? You've got 7 days to do something that doesn't smack of the same 'awful', before we kick you to the curb for good.

Day 22 of Pray-In

I've switched today's image to our local backhoe, Mary Anne, because I couldn't think of anything bigger to load the pile of crap that is composed of the US Supreme Court Justices (and I use the last word ironically). And these jerkwads serve FOR LIFE, even if they're crazier than a quarterback on steroids, which they are. First they ruled that corporations are people (so they must have souls, right?). Can we waterboard one? Now, they've seen fit to avow that churches don't have to obey our laws. Only Xian ones, mind you, not mosques or synagogues.

By a 9-0 vote, not even a disclaimer, they've declared that Lutherans can ignore the Americans With Disabilities Act and fire anyone they please - with no recourse. These Witch-finder Generals of Cross-dressing have finally lost their own souls. The particular Constitutional Law they've recently shredded, that is now as defunct as habeus corpus, was not meant to exempt the church from IT, but to keep churches OUT of politics. Since it has utterly failed, I guess we won't miss it. At least we know where we stand, knee deep in judicial feces with a future supply of Constitutional toilet paper.

DEAR GOD: Please make words mean something again and supply us all with the same dictionary. Ruth and Sonia? You were supposed to make a difference. Shame on you all.

Day 21 of Pray-In

Dear President: It's not that you're such a dismal failure that distresses us. We have become inured to those we elect being such. It's that your olive branch was based upon Hope. Our hearts grew lighter within the aspect of its coming to fruition, which made every arrow sting that much worse. Celebrating the death of a foe and threatening another country with war do not endear you to us further. We still have no health care; our schools are failing the next generation as they have the previous ones; and there is no end in sight of this depression and bankrupt economy. And you offer us more military spending and tax cuts for those who don't need them.

DEAR GOD: Your chosen President's speech simply demonstrated how much of a mess the State of our Union is. Please locate an honest, electable man. Tall order, we know.

Day 20 of Pray-In

Since we've been dealing in superstition here, I thought it might help to take our image to the Right side, since God is still not listening to the Left, whatever those fungible terms mean on any given day. It is interesting to learn that the Romneys earn, each day in interest, more than the average person does in a year - and pay less than 15% taxes on the largess. And no, it's not disliking him just 'cause he's rich; it's the subterfuge of the posturing. Oh yeah, he's the common man alright. But it is one of the few days we haven't heard mention of Newt's 5 houses. They're all horrible, and they're all rich. Campaigns can't be run by the poor any more.

DEAR GOD: Please give us all the Romney tax rate, and let money fall out of our asses for being one. We're not asking for the greed, just a level playing ground.

Day 19 of Pray-In

Newt? Really, SC? That's who you're backing? Rather than a comedian who will openly admit he has no values at all (he is, after all, an actor), you would support a man who claims sainthood and skewers an interviewer for asking a question ABOUT that obvious lie. While I'm sure the PTB (Powers That Be) would like us to believe Southerners are this gullible, I have a more optimistic answer. Having worked directly for the election mongers, one of the items they'd like us to ignore is the fact that there are only two, authorized voting machine purveyors in the Nation - both of which are run by relatives of those in the PTB offices.

Yes, Precious Readers, I would prefer to consider that all our elections are usurped through the usual subterfuge than to think those genteel people of the South are this disillusion. And without a doubt, I would rather have voted for the entertainer than ANYONE ELSE running on the sullied GOP ticket. Colbert is dangerously funny. They're just dangerous.

DEAR GOD: If you're making a joke or demonstrating how stupid we've become with the recent election outcomes, the laughter you hear is because we're scared shitless.

Days 17 & 18 of Pray-In

Sorry, I had to take a day off to recuperate from living a life where god answers none of my personal prayers. But this is a joyous day, for a couple of reasons. First, the Chinese Lunar Year of the Black Water Dragon begins today. Not that it's any more important than the Roman calendar, but they've been doing it for app. 4500 years and, if not more accurate, at least their predictions are more entertaining. So 新年快乐, Asian friends.

Second, it seems we have a reprieve from SOPA and PIPA. Oh, it's far from over. Rest assured that the douches will bring it back, hidden under the guise of something like insulin for returning, diabetic soldiers, or lunch vouchers for inner city kids, to make us think they're humanitarian. The only humanity they care about is themselves and their re-elections to positions that benefit the 1%. But it does finally demonstrate our own power. We joined in one, loud voice to inform them how unacceptable their cheating has become - and we succeeded in making them back down.

DEAR GOD: Thanks for the SOPA reprieve, now when anyone says 'job creators', we'd like you to employ the power of Babel and let the world hear 'lying, greedy bastards'.

Day 16 of Pray-In

A small diversion from politics, as I watched "The Debt" last night, mainly for Helen Mirren. If wishes were granted I would hope to age as gracefully and talented as that woman. Much of the content bored me, not solely because it concerned the much overworked topic of Nazi henchmen who got away with it, but for the weakening of her character with incomprehensible decisions and the ubiquitous drama of a love triangle. It takes little intelligence (spoiler alert) to realize that running away from very old people would be an easy defense. That being said, it bolsters the argument that the PKM God does not exist or he's incompetent or malevolent. No better example of evil allowed loose in the world is present than the Jewish saga, and the fact that the Holy See abetted it is monstrous. Plus the troubling dichotomy of killing; you can't have it one way in the scriptures and another in real life.

But, I think the most disturbing element of the dialogue was the Nazi's argument that all Jews lacked spine, his example thus: "Why else did it take only four guards to lead thousands to the gas ovens?" I have always wondered that, but (before you flame me) having not been in their position, as demoralized and debilitated as they were, I am no more a proper judge than the weekend quarterback. We cannot conceive those horrors. Thank heavens. As for our own, current battles against a jack-booted government, and make no mistake, we are living in a military country, there are more than four of us. We must fight wherever we can.

DEAR GOD: Free Will is not an adequate argument for the monstrous evils we witness. Either think up a better one or kindly dispense with the sources of the problems.
