Wednesday Episcopal Open Comments

Our brethren in the Church of England and the extended worldwide Anglican Communion have a new leader. The Rt. Rev. Justin Welby, a father of six and onetime oil company executive who became an Anglican priest in 1992 and Bishop of Durham in 2011, was confirmed as Archbishop of Canterbury Monday.

I heard an interview on the Beeb on Monday and Archbishop Welby sounded, for lack of a better word, lucid. His predecessor, Rowan Martin had a problem with keeping the butter on his noodles.
In addition, he has some views on social issues that sound to be remarkably biblically-based and consistent with Scripture. I suppose time will tell…

    Good morning Hamsters. Moisture in the air and some overnight, with a nice big cluster headed our way from the west. We all need it so hope it doesn’t fall apart before it passes through. Currently 60 and a cricket chorus outside the garden room. They must be commenting on the HuffPo piece in #1 Hamous. The libs are whining again in the comments and have very selective amnesia as to their comments about any and all conservative women directly or indirectly in politics. A pox on their houses.

    Good morning, Hamsterville! I am up bright and early to get paid for being in a phone conference between my Houston work group and our new “Product Champion” who is a Frenchie stationed in Beijing. Our staff meeting choices are now between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. CST. We’ve done this once already at 7 in the morning, which is too rough.

    Well, if you’re not happy with the way things are going, there’s always escape to Mars.
    I wonder – what kind of government will these people establish for themselves? At first, it will have to be communal, and the people chosen will know what they have to do. But if the community survives and grows, how will it change? How industrialized will it be – there will have to be ways of building long term shelters and equipment, especially for agriculture. They will be arriving with the supplies and know-how to eventually accomplish these things. Can they recreate an atmosphere? What kind of plants can grow on Mars? Their society will be so different – reduced sunlight, different length years, the isolation from the billions on earth….

    Speaking of fiction, American Digest has this.

    “What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
    What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
    Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information.
    Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism.
    Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us.
    Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
    Orwell feared we would become a captive culture.
    Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.
    As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
    In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain.
    In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure.
    In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us.” – Neil Postman – Amusing Ourselves to Death

    I always liked Sorbo.

    Clearly, Sorbo isn’t one for mincing words, calling political correctness a habit that is “absolutely destroying this country.” As far as President Barack Obama goes, Sorbo believes he “has one of the worst records” this country has ever seen, despite being elected to a historic second term.
    The actor is well aware of the fact that his views separate him from other entertainers. After all, he doesn’t consider himself a part of the establishment. Plus, Sorbo admitted to TheBlaze that he’s been blacklisted by those who disagree with his politics. Considering his gripes, one might wonder why he continues acting — something he also addressed.


    And I’m looking forward to his new movie.

    #23 TT: I seem to recall how any blacklisting of known commies was roundly criticized ad nauseum for decades and now, the same bunch of commie socialists TNs are blacklisting those who dare to actually be conservative. Ditto that for academia. So it was wrong to blacklist those who wanted to destroy our country had a different political viewpoint then, but it is not wrong now to blacklist those who have a different political viewpoint, one by the way that actually produces the most good for the most people?
    Lefties, for all their platitudinous proclamations and pronouncements of tolerance, are the most intolerant bunch in this country.

    One of the funniest lines I think I ever heard was from Andy Andrews. He used to be a comedian, but now makes a living in motivational speaking. One of the funniest guys I’ve ever heard. Anyway, he was talking about the things his mother used to say to him when he was younger. He stops to take a drink of water through a straw, and then blows bubbles. He giggles a bit, then does it again. “I love doing that, don’t you?” he says, blowing more bubbles and laughing some more. By now, we’re all chuckling a bit. “My mother hated it when I blew bubbles,” he says, blowing one more time, “But then I was breastfeeding at the time.”
    Died laughing, I did!

    Let’s be clear — this new ascendant class is no threat to either the “one percent,”  or even the much smaller decimal groups. Historically, the already rich and large economic interests often profit in a hyper-regulated state; the clerisy’s actions can often stifle competition by increasing the cost of entry for unwelcome new players. Like Cardinal Richelieu or Louis XIV’s finance minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, our modern-day dirigistes favor state-directed capital that has benefited, among others, “green” capitalists, Wall Street “too big to fail” firms and, of course, General Motors.
    More disturbing still may be the clerisy’s regal disregard for democratic give and take. Both traditional hierarchies, or new ones like the Bolsheviks after the 1917 revolution, disdain popular will as intrinsically lacking in scientific judgment and societal wisdom. Some leading figures in the clerisy, such as former Obama budget advisor Peter Orszag, openly argue for shifting power from naturally contentious elected bodies to credentialed “experts” operating in places Washington, Brussels or the United Nations.
    Such experts, of course, see little need for give and take with their intellectual inferiors, in Congress or elsewhere. This attitude is expressed in the administration’s increasing use of executive orders to promote policy goals such as better gun control, reduced greenhouse emissions or reform of immigration. Whatever one’s views on these issues, that they are increasingly settled outside Congress represents a troublesome notion.

    I just love a good ol’ knock-down-drag-out fight about Bible translations.

    “The NAB is a banal, linguistically inept, and misleading translation. Why did the bishops force it upon the Catholic people, demanding that it and it alone be used in the readings of the Mass? Various answers are given: Because it was produced by the guild of Catholic biblical scholars and, while it may not be very good, at least it is ours. Because the bishops hold the copyright, and charges for using the NAB in Mass guides and elsewhere is a cash cow for the financially strapped bishops conference. Because the bishops really don’t care whether Catholics use a worthy and reliable translation of the Bible.” -Father Neuhaus

    #60 Remember that weird new age translation that Big Jolly was partial to? Man, that one drove me crazy.
    “KJV”
    The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

    “Revised Standard Version (Catholic Edition)”
    The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
    he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.
    He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
    Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
    Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

    “The Message”
    God, my shepherd!
    I don’t need a thing.
    You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from.
    True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.
    Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I’m not afraid when you walk at my side.
    Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure.
    You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies.
    You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.
    Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life.
    I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

    “The Message” sounds like a Flip Wilson skit.

    Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbræ mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. Virga tua, et baculus tuus, ipsa me consolata sunt.
    Parasti in conspectu meo mensam adversus eos qui tribulant me; impinguasti in oleo caput meum: et calix meus inebrians, quam præclarus est!
    Et misericordia tua subsequetur me omnibus diebus vitæ meæ; et ut inhabitem in domo Domini in longitudinem dierum.

    I’m betting that you have read it. In anycase Glisson helped out with the making of the movie, “Cross Creek”. He was a local cracker that grew up there and even built the “period correct” boat out of cypress in about three days. I’m enjoying it and his people are my people. 😉

    SD – I haven’t read that book but I’ll check it out. As I’ve probably mentioned before, my grandparents lived on Cross Creek in the ’60s and ’70s so I spent a lot of time out there. The creek connects Orange Lake and Lochaloosa Lake. Last time I was back my mom and I drove out there, specifically to go to a restaurant that’s been there at least all of my life named “The Yearling”. I hadn’t been there in over 30 years. They weren’t open for lunch on the day we were there. The creek was bone-dry.
    Of course Rawlings books were required reading in Florida schools when I was a yoot. I remember the first time I saw “The Yearling” movie with Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman. There was a bear (named Slewfoot, of course) that kept killing livestock they were always trying to kill. When they finally got the chance it was a big ole grizzly bear! Now we got black bears all over the place in Florida but there ain’t no grizzly bears. Come to think of it that’s probably what started my obsession with pointing out flick flubs.

    I’m currently imbibing a Third Shift Amber Lager. I had never heard of it but saw it in the local “Jitney Jungle” and grabbed a six-pack. Turns out it’s Miller/Coors attempt at a “craft beer”. Had I known that I prolly wouldn’t have bought it. But it ain’t bad.

  149. Hamous Avatar

    #162 Yeah, I drive everybody crazy with that. There’s an old Burt Reynolds movie (I think it’s “Gator”) where he’s trying to outrun the cops down a back road in a green Ford Galaxie. You can hear him clearly shifting gears throughout the chase scene. He outruns them (he’s Burt Reynolds, dontcha know), pulls up to the house, and puts the car in Park.

    Naw, 67-69 were all 1st gen Firebirds. All had 4 headlights. Not much difference at all between 67 and 68 except the 67 was the last year for the vent window. 69 had a lot of cosmetic changes but was basically the same car. 70-1/2 was the big change.

    10 p.m. KHOU local news: Police helicopters are circling a reported disturbance in south Houston. A normally quiet residential area, now reporting street races and blaring karaoke music. Search lights reveal a large piece of industrial machinery has been upended in a deep ditch in front of an unusual blue geodesic dome. Strobe Christmas lights can be seen through the windows of the dome, and what look like a dozen wildmen gathered around a keg and a bong. We’ll be back after a word from our sponsor, TrueFeel (R) Bolt-on Boobs.
