Metaphysic Storm

I was walking though the French Quarter seeking the satiation of a Po-Boy when a typical twisted wild eyed drunk approached me doing a Monty Python funny walk with a beer balanced on his head. He held out his shit caked dirty finger nailed hand for a shake and I quickly balled my fists and told him to stay away from me.

Anyone who has spent time in the Quarter knows that these drunks pose the greatest threat to the success of old town (well not really). Many of these uninspired have so little respect for themselves they resort to sorry schemes to keep their enslaved free spirits life style. The infamous, “I bet I can tell you were you got your shoes.” is a NOLA legend. If you haven’t been here yet, take the bet and answer with, “on the side walk.” Beer doesn’t make the nuts but the nuts sure can make the beer.

I became embarrassingly aware of the new New Orleans cop show, K-Ville, the day after I announced I was applying to NOPD. I felt quite silly after I downloaded the application and then my friend invited me to her house to watch the premier. I know what I would think about a person who told me they were going to be an astronaut when Apollo 13 was in the theaters. Lucky for me, I have a high tolerance for embarrassment and little consideration of others opinion of myself. Continue Reading »

I’m not a diligent follower of current events. Typically there is so much hypocrisy and irrationality it makes my cow brain bleed and I don’t enjoy anything but saliva dripping down my throat. But this was an especially interesting week, highlighted by Bush addressing the United Nations and Ahmadinejad debating with Columbia University. These two men have balls of hardened medal for being able to go into the dragons den and speak their pathetic minds. My personal Kudos go out to Muhammad because it obviously takes more courage to do what he did. And in comparison to our team manager, Georgie, Muhammad sounded like a seasoned scholar.

The main proposal from Bush was to spread “Freedom” to all the corners of the world, privatize the corners, mandate health insurance, and then further enrich the market by encouraging debt. Ahmadinejad simply wanted Americans to unplug from FOX news and have them take Iran seriously. Then Ahmadinejad started bragging about the fact that homosexuals stay in the closet in Iran. My respect for Ahmadinejad grew for he obviously is a quick thinker and knew exactly how to drive the screw into the CBNetwerk audience. Unfortunately for him, I’m probably the only person on the planet who has watched both CBN and The Semi-supreme Islamic Leader pump their nonsense. Continue Reading »

The Nazi on shore leave “Shore-Leave OIC” has banned me from his blog. Whatever his position is in the United States Army is irrelevant, for he wants the Army to be replaced with Tactics. Tactics and technology will turn our Army into kids in a bunker playing Nintendo, with drone planes and armed robots. That is not an Army. The heart of the Army is the grunt, his blaster, his hole and his presence. Slowly but surely the infantry’s presence has been reduced, first by bows, then by gun powder. Our Army’s function was completely replaced last century by politics, jet fuel and the advent of the Nuclear bomb.

The new war became economics and mental occupation (aka fearism). To defeat Communism the United States encouraged the Privatizing Corporations of America to pump the US economy with the Militarized Industrial Complex. This enabled the politicians to realize their goals by creating more publicly acceptable and “humane” killing machines and increased the power of sanctions. Now their dream is almost fully realized with armed remote GPS systems and the Quasi-Federal Reserve. An Armies purpose is to occupy. No Nation State that respects the ideology of Nation State should occupy a sovereign state other than as an absolute last resort for current self preservation. But that is the problem with State lines that are formed by history, for history is made every second and occupation changes the line.

The following is my farewell dance with one of our soldiers. Some posts have been edited for length but the context was left intact. Continue Reading »

Today I spoke with a Sunday school teacher and asked her what wonderful wisdom she bestowed upon her young teenagers. She responded with the standard stigmata issue. The blood obsessed Catholics have a slew of icons depicting the stigmata of Christ. The religion of peace’s spokes people are diligent in declaring that the holes in the palm of Christ are symbolic. Instructing the youngsters to the reality of the crucifixion, Sunday school teachers point out the nails went between the radius and ulna. That’s the only possible way, without breaking the laws of physics, to suspend a 160 pound deity from a cross who’s preparing to fly into the clouds.

Earlier today at Saint Louis cathedral I listened to Arch Bishop Alfred Hughes pound the “Man can not serve money and God” sermon. Then he asked for money. He said that God had blessed him during a category 5 hurricane and his miraculous evacuation via internal combustion. That’s when he realized what he actually owned didn’t matter. Then he asked for money again.

It’s been a few years since I’ve produced a detailed portrait. After considering Einstein, Hitler and Darwin I chose his holiness, Pope Ratzinger. I was going to draw a picture of hell behind him but I concluded that he alone carried enough weight.

The “Vicar of Christ” title of the pope implies his supreme and universal primacy, both of honour and of jurisdiction, over the Church. Catholics find justification for this in the words of Jesus Christ to St. Peter - “Feed my lambs … Feed my sheep” (John 21:16-17). The Church believes Jesus made St. Peter the leader of the Apostles, hence, Prince of the Apostles, and constituted him as the guardian of His entire flock in His own place, thus making him His Vicar and fulfilling the promise He made in Matthew 16:18-19.

In the course of the ages other vicarial designations have been used for the pope, such as Vicar of St. Peter, Vicar of the Prince of the Apostles (again referring to St. Peter, the first Pope) and even Vicar of the Apostolic See, but the title Vicar of Christ is more expressive of his supreme headship of the Church on earth, which Catholics believe he bears by virtue of the commission of Christ and with vicarial power derived from Him. Thus, Pope Innocent III declared that Christ had given power only to His vicar, Peter and his successors and stated that the Roman Pontiff is “the successor of Peter and the Vicar of Jesus Christ” - wikipedia

For reference purposes I’ve included a recent photo of the touchdown Jesus from Loyola University.
