been a while

been a while since I blogged....which is a cardinal sin in the blogsphere apparently where publish or perish is the way....

As always I've been commenting on the G&M and NP as AntiSpin and occasionally on Rabble/Babble, that bastion of leftist thought and general weirdness...

Most recently on the G&M I commented on the Pope's peace pray where I added a line to a quote from the Pope....it went something like this...

And the pope prayed, "(g)rant that we many join with You in love more and more and thus become people of peace." He added, "and you'll find free condoms next to the fount on your way out."

The comment on the G&M was deemed abusive and removed shortly after it was posted (lol now Norman Spector and I have something in common!!) Abusive of whom the G&M didn't say. The pope's a forgiving guy and I've no doubt the vicar of christ would understand the message contained in the joke. He might have even chuckled a bit.

For the record my comment about the Pope and condoms by the fount was not abusive; it was apropos given the pope's recent declaration that condoms are formally approved to be used in the fight against HIV/Aids but not for you know, regular intercourse. Which is to say, the pope thinks it's okay for men, prostitutes, homosexuals, and other sinners to avail themselves of latex party hats but not good Catholics who, by inference and long-standing church canon, must reproduce freely and often.

I'm not surprised the comment was attacked and subsequently pulled by the G&M. I expected to be and was indeed spanked by the forces of knee-jerk reactionaries and their cousins among the religious zealots and orthodox dogmatics...nice to see how consistent they all are...

Hmmm dogmatics...sounds like a great rock'n roll band....
