The Pope leaves the Vatican.

NIXON STYLE.

Cold winds

A big storm may hit next week. But it also may be the last storm of the winter… Then we’ll start getting as hot as a Centralia mine fire. Spring is on the way..

The Olive Garden is promising cheaper food with more options

I love the Olive Garden as much as the next guy. I just hope more option with ‘cheaper’ in play doesn’t mean they’ll be grilling up horse meat..

The Olive Garden is promising cheaper food with more options

A friend of mine continues to send truly hilarious text messages about Pope Benedict, “Petrus Romanus” and the conclave coming up to choose the 112th pope in Malachy’s prophecy. I would use them as headlines but they are a little too .. out there. Perhaps I’ll share them in the coming days, simply for the humor value..

Today is Pope Benedict’s last day wearing the red prada shoes as the infallible one. He will step down .. and the gears get set into motion to choose the next. You can follow events of his departure on news sources around the world today.

But what is not being reported?

There were rumors last week that an unnamed European country wanted to issue an arrest order for Ratzinger and others involved with sex scandals.. then the report surfaced implicating cardinals in the Vatican of being involved with gay sex.. Last year the Vatican imprisoned the Pope’s butler for sharing classified information—and some of that involves drug money in the Vatican bank along with the mafia.. And then “vatileaks” hit the news.. and then .. and then .. and then.. It goes on and so it goes.

But all the while, the media, in America at least, didn’t pay much attention to what exactly was happening. The rest  of the world—especially the great “Satan” of Europe (some Catholics have compared it to that since they are taking on Rome the most)—reported much on the affairs and troubles hitting the Pope and the Catholic Church. It seemed the only thing that could grip Americans in the attention factor was salacious sex. All the while big money scandals involving the bank were happening fast and furious all throughout 2012.

And maybe this is why there is so much confusion in the United States concerning the Pope’s departure. There is ‘more to the story’ … where there is white smoke there is a new pope, but where there is smoke there is also fire. Something else is happening .. something else is forcing Benedict down.

Yes,  he has health issues.

He may be blind in an eye..

God knows, he probably can’t hear anymore..

But for the first pope to resign in hundreds of years? Maybe the scandal wore him down  to the point where he couldn’t ‘lead’ the flock anymore..

As the Pope gets ready to hang up the white cassock, this we know: Benedict XVI pledges that he will be obedient to the next pontiff. He will also lose the red shoes, replacing them with a less infallible brown.

We are about to see history. A truly monumental event. And sadly, most Americans have not the clue as to why the pope is even stepping down to begin with…

It’s the winter that never ends

Emmeritis pope! Will still wear white! Conclave pushed up earlier! Pedophile protecting American cardinal possibly banned from conclave!

A friend of mine who is always thinking of great headlines for me

Try to escape this irony. Michelle Obama shows up at the OSCARS to present best picture—to a movie about the government making a fake movie. 

No Rusty is not in the Navy.. He’s actually a a fierce tropical cyclone in a collision course with Australia..

A brain scan seems to prove that Democrats and Republicans do in fact have different brains

For some reason it keeps reminding me of Uncle Lewis from Christmas Vacation saying ‘THE BLESSING!’ to Aunt Bethany..

THE GREAT COLLAPSE.. THE EARTH'S CRUST SEEMS TO BE SINKING AND DEPLETING ALL OVER THE PLANET

Freaky stuff. 

You hear about sinkholes quite a bit..  but more so now. And the massive sinkhole in Louisiana still is being followed by many. It is still growing..

Prepare to NOT be shocked: Steven Tyler says he snorted ‘half of Peru’ in cocaine..

FULL STORY HERE.. snort up every fact.

Changing demographics put Jewish delis in a 'pickle'

Ii will note that the LA TIMES used the pickle pun. I didn’t like the pun but went with it, couldn’t think of anything else. I thought “Changing Demographics put Jewish deli buns on the run.”  I also thought “You Say Tomato, I say Schmaltz-spread.” 

Either way, interesting story from the LA TIMES.

The 'church' of Scientology the subject of tonight's Coast to Coast AM

John B. Wells is set to interview Jenna Miscavige Hill tonight on Coast to Coast..

Hill was the niece of a leader in the Church of Scientology.

She left in 2005.

 Her website goes more in depth about her story and other ‘ex-kids’ of the Church of Scientology..

The show should be one worth listening to.

Even more so because George Noory is not hosting..

START TIME 1AM EDT, 10PM PACIFIC

Giddy up

We are told by experts that Americans are not eating horse meat—most likely. But who’d a thunk that folks in the great UK were devouring Mr Ed?!

IDENTITY THIEF really wasn't funny

So much potential, so much promise.. So few laughs … Too bad.

Nothing to see here. Despite 6 nuclear plants leaking toxic waste.

No danger.

Of course it may reach groundwater.

The Vatican is denying rumors of gay clergy, money scandals and sex.

….Because we have come to believe everything that the Vatican tells us regarding scandal clergy, money, and sex.
