The GOP Of Old Has Grown Stale And Moss-Covered
Friday, March 15, 2013
The Facebook generation can detect falseness and hypocrisy a mile away. They are the core of the ‘leave me alone’ coalition. They doubt that Social Security will be there for them. They worry about jobs and money, rent and student loans. They want leaders that won’t feed them a line of crap or sell them short. They aren’t afraid of individual liberty. Ask them whether we should put a kid in jail for the nonviolent crime of drug use and you’ll hear a resounding no. Ask them if they want to bail out Too-Big-To-Fail banks with their tax dollars. And you’ll hear a hell no. There is nothing conservative about bailing out Wall Street.
Senator Rand Paul, in his speech today at CPAC 2013.
I didn’t get to watch the speech live, but this bit in particular was great.
(via hipsterlibertarian)Great Rand quote
Hey remember, about ten year ago this month, when a President took the nation to war against a country in the Middle East that was harboring weapons of mass destruction (that never turned out to be real?)
Never again, right!?
….well….
On second thought.
President Obama says that Iran is one year away from a nuclear weapon….
The ides of March. Back again.

I have two websites, as some of you may know. The other one is the HORRORREPORT.COM, where I espouse crazy conspiracy theories, UFOs, ghosts, and all that jazz. Fun stuff.. paranormal and para-political. But tonight, something freaked me out. The photo you see here is a screen cap of what occurred at 6:06 pm this evening.. my hit counter read 666666, and the headline on the top of the site was somewhat mocking the new Pope calling him “A Pope named Francis,” sort of an allusion to a BOY NAMED SUE by Johnny Cash.
So … as a boy born and raised Catholic would do, I rarely go to Church. I am considering it now though.. the trail of 6’s alarmed me.
I know, I know.. it’s all fake. Not real. No worries. Just numbers. And I know at least four of my followers on a somewhat personal basis to know enough that they are atheists.. So they will tell me it’s all hogwash to begin with. Why fear numbers if there’s no God or Satan..
But something chilled me… A little.
Of course, it is the HORROR REPORT. That’s where scary things are supposed to happen.

Birds of a feather Assisi together.
While the world was waiting for the new Pope to be revealed, before the white smoke was even rising, birds were resting on the chimney at St. Peter’s Square..
Perhaps only odd because of the Pope’s name. St. Francis of Assisi had a love for animals…his is often painted with birds circling him. And then Cardinal Bergoglio chosen St. Francis as his name, after Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone….
Interesting stuff. I’m sure purely coincidental. right?
THE PROPHECY OF THE POPES? Grasping at straws or seeing things others don't
Here have been tons of rumors about the Malachy Prophecy of the Popes. You can always check my other site, HorrorReport.com, if you want to see more about that.. In the meantime, on this site I’ll keep things a little more subdued. But i thought I’d reprint an email I shared with friends early this morning:
Subject:
Food for thought
So with ‘Francis’ being named Pope, it’s a common thought that the ‘prophecy of the popes’ has been undone. Or that it was never real to begin with.. But a few elements that people are neglecting to think about on the veracity of the prophecy:
1) Bergoglio is a Jesuit. In the prophecy, the final pope would try to re-establish supremacy of the Catholic Church—something that Jesuits are known for since their main mission is to stop Protestantism from spreading.
2) He took his name from St. Francis of Assisi. The interesting part of that is St. Francis’ full name was Francesco Di Pietro di Bernardone. One priest commentator on CNN last night actually mentioned how, in the Vatican, Bergoglio may be known both as “Francis and Peter”
3) Cardinal Bergoglio obviously was from South America—but both of his parents were Italian.
And finally, whoever saw Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure will surely understand this.. In the film, Pee Wee’s bike was stolen by his neighbor causing him to travel to psychics, giant dinosaurs, and the Alamo’s supposed basement in Texas. And neighbor who stole it was named Francis. How ironic now that Bergoglio picked Francis. Coincidence? You decide. I say we check his Church for stolen bikes.
Ok .. now EVERYONE BACK TO WORK!

I was 13 years young.. not a care in the world—certainly not worried about anyone else. After all, I had three feet of snow in my front yard to play in, and a story of memories. As I said before, even as a kid, I recall that I realized I was living through history. I enjoyed weather and news—I was a TIME and NEWSWEEK magazine subscriber my whole life since 10 after all..
We haven’t had a storm like this in ages.
It was the ‘true’ superstorm.. One that will take quite a bit to be matched.
Andre Linoge was walking around somewhere along the East Coast that week in 1993.. I guarantee it.

DON’T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA
It’s also being reported that Francis I did not want to be Pope..
Along with his age, he also only has One long, as it was removed when he was younger..
Despite many people believing that the Catholic Church would pick a progressive pope, this Argentinian certainly will not be applauded by those who are more progressive and liberal within the religion.. Look no further handstands on the controversial abortion issue, he is much more hard-line than many popes have been..

Keep your beer goggles on. Just don't wear Google glasses. A dive bar in Seattle has become the first place to ban the Google Glasses..
This is what will greet patrons:
And even though the article sort of makes a mockery of the owner and the bar, the points he makes are valid and …quite frankly, I agree wholeheartedly.
I understand a public place is not one where you go to find privacy.. but there’s something different about a dark and smoky bar. Well I guess not smoky, since cigs are banned in places, too.. but you catch my drift.
With Google Glass, all is known.. all is live.. all is streamed. No secrets.
Let’s keep some places sorta private? Please? Let’s keep the dive bar on AnyCorner, USA, a little under the radar? Without that, there’d be no place left to go!

This is a rather creepy photo of Justin Bieber.
The DAILY MAIL reports,
Teen pop idol Justin Bieber turned to Hollywood megastar Will Smith for support and advice amid the chaos surrounding his UK tour last week, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The Men in Black actor - himself a former child star - became a mentor and ‘father figure’ to the singer as what should have been a triumphant tour was rocked by a string of public relations disasters.
Smith was in London chaperoning his own 14-year-old son Jaden – one of three support acts on Bieber’s sell-out ‘Believe’ tour.
This is all just getting weird, isn’t it?
Justin Bieber is weird already.. but the latest strangeness surrounding his collapse, his gas mask, and his attempt at an erotic tweet of himself in the hospital…. is all just creepy.
He is crashing and burning.. the kid that grew up on YouTube and became a name across the world… isn’t handling fame well, lately.
But who would, really?
Maybe the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is exactly what he needs..

A Saturday night scare, courtesy of space
There is a comet in the Western sky tonight. That’s not the scary part.
The scary part is this: An asteroid, only discovered six days ago, is passing relatively close to earth. And it’s as big as a city block—something that would have done a bit of hardcore damage on this planet should it have been heading this way. Luckily for us it’s not, as the Saturday night beer is still cold at your local watering hole.
But this Reuters story is worth reading, and thinking about.. and worrying about..
The money quote:
An asteroid as big as a city block shot relatively close by the Earth on Saturday, the latest in a series of visiting celestial objects including an asteroid the size of a bus that exploded over Russia last month, injuring 1,500.
Discovered just six days ago, the 140-metre long Asteroid 2013 ET passed about 950,000 km from Earth at 3:30 p.m. ET. That’s about 21/2 times as far as the moon, fairly close on a cosmic yardstick.
“The scary part of this one is that it’s something we didn’t even know about,” Patrick Paolucci, president of Slooh Space Camera, said during a webcast featuring live images of the asteroid from a telescope in the Canary Islands.
Moving at a speed of about 41,843 km/h, the asteroid could have wiped out a large city if it had impacted the Earth, added Slooh telescope engineer Paul Cox.
It could have wiped out a city.
And even more alarming, it’s something no one knew about until only a few days ago.. hours, really.
This seems to be the year of the asteroid, the comet, and the ‘disaster.’ So the Mayan were wrong. December 21 ended nothing. But.. what if it began everything?
Professionals are getting ready.. The white smoke will announce a pope. But before that happens, firefighters are getting pieces in order:
The AP reports:
Firefighters on Saturday installed the top of the Sistine Chapel chimney that will signal to the world that a new pope has been elected, as the Vatican took measures to definitively end Benedict XVI’s pontificate.
While construction workers prepared the interior of the frescoed Sistine Chapel for Tuesday’s start of the conclave, officials elsewhere in the Apostolic Palace destroyed Benedict’s fisherman’s ring and the personal seals and stamps for official papers.
The act, coupled with Benedict’s public resignation and pledge of obedience to the future pope, is designed to signal a definitive end of his papacy so there is nodoubt in the church that a new pope is in charge.
It all begins Tuesday.
And call me misinformed, but I never knew they took the chimney away.. I thought it was just always there.. ready to billow out black and white smoke whenever the good Lord called on it to do so..
They all float down there, too, right? Next you’ll tell me that’s not true either..
