And I bet all he found was how to cook horse…
Sick story nonetheless..
'FOR YOUR EYES ONLY' by Sheena Easton.
It didn’t happen to me.. but it sure would be awkward.
Thanks to my news-junkie sister, I have been alerted today to Fox News’ main page.. where I saw this photo of ‘guards’ at the Vatican as the conclave gathers. A few thoughts come to mind.. most initially, the guards have the garb that is unlike guards, and more like court jesters. Perhaps that’s fitting—since it’s the jesters leading in the clowns to choose the next grand marshal of the parade..?
But my sister and I had the same thought: We went through 12 years of Catholic school.. we had the religion classes, the Catechism .. the lessons on the purity and piety of the Pope. But never were told that the Vatican guards would look as ridiculous as they do! Never were we told the true history of the sneaky secrets of Vatican City. I’d dare say most Catholic schools in our current day aren’t giving kids too many lessons about butlers being held in solitary confinement in underground Vatican jail cells. My big ‘sis’ and I spend lots of time rummaging through news articles and facts as though the internet was a big yard sale.. but this is still the first time I have seen these men. I guess they were just always in the background.. perhaps when Pope John Paul II met his fate we only saw pictures of white smoke. I don’t recall seeing these outfits .. or they were just background music to the real story taking place??
Now that I’ve seen the Vatican ‘guards,’ I felt like I needed to be a good world citizen and educate myself a bit more about the awful outfits. With help from the always shaky information you can find on Wikipedia. And Google images will help with all of the pictures I need to give me all I need to know and see of the Papal Swiss Guard. Another article I read about these guards tell me they played a central role in the Pope’s retirement. The article reports information I never knew:
The corps, which some historians consider the oldest standing army in the world, was founded in 1506 by Pope Giulio II. Tradition has it that he was so impressed by the bravery of Swiss mercenaries that he asked them to defend the Vatican. Ever since, for more than 500 years, Switzerland has been supplying soldiers to the Vatican. The Swiss Guards swear an oath to give up their lives to protect the pope — and in centuries past, they have. In 1527, 147 of them died protecting Pope Clement VII as he fled to safety when the troops of Emperor Charles V sacked Rome.
Such amazing outfits! Amazing.. I never realized how much I didn’t know about this world until I saw the striped clothing with cock-like tops. (And I’m talking about chickens.) So call me a dumb hick.. hillbilly..coal region no-body.
But I’m quite proud I learned something new about the Pope and his chosen army..
I miss Art Bell. I get so incensed with rage at the lack of understanding and the stupidity of George Noory… and John B. Wells is ok.
So for a few months now I’ve been trying an alternative. I switched brands.. from Coke to Pepsi.. from Coast to Ground Zero Radio with Clyde Lewis.
I’ll still pop into the Coast to Coast AM show when things seem interesting..Though when Noory hosts even the best topics turn into a watered-down mess of note card questions and lame radio..
As for Clyde Lewis? I like him. He was a little much at first. I never heard him, only heard OF him.. His show can be overtly political. He buys into a few conspiracy theories I don’t.. However, he has a gift of radio—his voice is great, his enthusiasm is even better.. His topics and subjects remind me of Art Bell’s old days on Coast. Lewis has a little different edge to him..
So .. How many out there listen as well?
And if you do, is it because Clyde Lewis on his own is a great radio show host with a spectacular show or just because George Noory has taken a wonderful program about the mind and the world and trashed it like a New Orleans alleyway on Mardi Gras?
Opinions please, I’m wondering.?
And besides.. which one looks ‘cooler’ ..
Which is the polite Royal term to describe what commoners would call ‘shittin and pukin’ at the same time. Either that or a royal miracle has occurred and she’s with child.
The Royal Groom of the Stool must have had a busy week.
It happened on Friday. I have been feeling guilty ever since. I have no choice but to … throw it away into the landfill with all the other trash.
But … then again, what’s my little bad compared to the giant cesspool that has become the Pacific ocean, right?
So.. I’m trying to feel less guilty about this.
Help me.
(And why can’t we just find a planet that will be our trash dump? Come on, NASA, there’s trillions of possibilities.)
And replacing Jimmy Fallon on LATE NIGHT: David Letterman. Just kidding.
Actually.. I think it’s time for a woman to take over some air time on late night TV.. And no, not Oprah. I think the best choice for the future of late night would be Chelsea Handler. I am serious about that. She would bring a creative feeling to late night—and if she’s put into the Fallon slot, she would be able to continue her irreverent style of comedy..
Leno has grown extremely stale. So has Letterman—anyone who is still a David Letterman fan is only one for two reasons: 1) They were fans since the Late Night days and 2) out of respect because of his late night days.
As for Fallon? I’ve never been overly fond of him..
But Chelsea Handler can re-invigorate late night TV.
And for God’s sake, isn’t it time that corporate executives try to bring a female into the fold of TV show history? I say yes.
Lots of people are being critical of Dennis Rodman meeting with Lil Kim in Korea.. others are simply confused by the whole event.
As for me? perhaps it’s high time to hire on Rodman for the CIA or any other alphabet organization. After all, if you can make Lil Kim smile and laugh, maybe you can stop from from creating a conflagration of nuclear hell on earth? Just maybe.
And for kicks, throw in Michael Jordan.. Just keep ShaQuille O’Neal away from the scene.
Tonight, also, tragic news: The end of the search for Jeff Bush. Authorities have stopped their rescue attempt..
I heard someone making jokes today about the sinkhole that swallowed Jeff Bush in his bedroom in Seffner, Florida.. The story is disturbing, but someone making light of a horrid situation like this may be worse..
Sinkhole are a big story around the world. The media typically pays little attention to them, but they happen .. a lot. And increasingly, as some websites have reported, there seems to be an altogether weakening of the earth’s crust below us.
This sinkhole situation in Florida isn’t the typical one.. this time, someone most likely died in the event. And also this time, as opposed to the typical reporting we get, the media is paying attention and giving us more information than usual. Maybe for ratings? Maybe because there is a human tragedy? Maybe because, after all the ignorance to the earth’s changes, people are finally becoming rattled by the shaky ground beneath them..
A story on CNN tonight details a sad interview with the victim’s brother, Jeremy Bush.. He said he was able to hear his brother screaming before he was gone. Four other people, including a 2-year-old child, escape from the home in Florida .. but Jeff Bush could not. He was peacefully in is bedroom when the ground gave out..
Rescuers have not gone into the house yet, according to CNN, because the situation is too dangerous.. As a matter of fact, reporting late tonight indicates that the sinkhole is spreading and the entire house is in dangerous of being swallowed up by it..
We will continue to watch this story as it develops. It’s what we do here.
But also what we do in situations like this, is pray and hope for some type of light to be seen in the darkness.. to hope for good over bad.. to hope that this man is either alive, or if not, has peacefully gone to the next realm, whatever that realm may be..
Call it the Six Flags of penises.
We do live in an odd world—one where there is an official Penis Museum in Iceland.
Ding dong.
Even the Iceland’s male handball team is preserved for history..
Read more here, I guess. If you want to.
(Maybe Justin Bieber’s ‘worst birthday ever’ would have been better celebrated here?)
He is Bieber. Hear him roar.
Roar in a tiny voice..
He tweeted his 35 million fans last night that he had the worst birthday ever. Apparently the 19-year-old tried to have some friends, very very underage, get into a club. A scuffle occurred. And the rest became pop culture history.
I am sure the world will cry with sympathy and the Beeb’s worst birthday ever. So much drama.. so little time.
Nicki Minaj says he never had plastic surgery..
Right, right, Nicki.
Next you’ll tell us that people still watch AMERICAN IDOL.
No one will believe this.. but I actually told some friends and family about two weeks ago to get ready for a March 6-7 snowstorm.
Models were predicting it. As we get closer, they still are. I am hoping for a ‘blizzard of ‘13’ and maybe, just maybe, it will happen before the spring gets here..
And it all could change.
President Obama on Friday signed an order that starts putting into effect across-the-board budget cuts known as the “sequester” after he and congressional leaders failed to find an alternative budget plan.
The President, after an Oval Office meeting with the lawmakers, called the cuts “just dumb.”…
And just think… this is only ONE of the many budget battles set for this year. Can you handle it, America??
