Monday Anglican Open Comments

Rowan Williams, the current Archbishop of Canterbury, is planning to retire soon. In a statement, he has lamented that he (and by extension, the episcopate of the Anglican Communion) has

not exactly been on the forefront of pressing for civic equality for homosexual people and we were wrong about that.

Which sentiment does not seem to have been much of a problem for other Christian communities around the world. In typical liberal fashion however, he places blame not in his own failings and beliefs, but in the burden that administration places upon his office.

“I think the problem though, is that the demands of the communion, the administrative demands of the communion, have grown and are growing.”

Again, it appears that the demands placed upon the episcopate and administrative offices of much larger Christian communities has not proved to be overwhelming to those organizations.
Could it be that the Most Reverend Doctor Williams is not and has not been up to the demands of his office?

    Chevy Volts cost $90,000 to build???
    That means GM loses almost $50,000 on every one it sells. Maybe it’s good that they don’t sell very many.
    Maybe they’ll make it up with volume.

    George the Commie Bastige Soros never seems to get around to mentioning that the govts in trouble are always spending beyond their revenues which causes the need to borrow. It is the excess spending that causes all the problems that the countries in question now face.

    “LOST DECADE”
    Soros, 82, drew a parallel with the financial crisis of 1982, when lenders protected the international banking system by lending debtor countries just enough to service their debts, pushing them into severe austerity programs that led to depression.

    So, if one were to look at it as a private citizen would, ‘those stingy banks are only loaning me enough to cover my interest costs and not extra money so that I can go on my 3rd European vacation this year.’ I guess the fact that the individual is spending much more than what he is taking in doesn’t enter into the equation because he deserves the 3rd vacation that year.

    “It was the lost decade for Latin America and something very similar is happening now in the euro situation, where Germany is actually playing the same role within the euro as the IMF did within the global financial system,” Soros said.
    “This policy is pushing Europe into a depression which is going to last five or 10 years,” Soros said.

    When you borrow money now and your revenues do not significantly change, you will have to lower your standard of living later to pay for your excesses now.
    If there were more politicians who were of the “anti-Biden” intellect, this would not be such an enormous barrier to overcome.

    Just ran across this from years ago. still relevant…..
    “IF..” by Rudyard Kipling:
    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
    If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
    And stoop and build ‘em up with worn out tools:
    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!

    The Obama healthcare law, among other provisions, prevents insurance companies from denying medical coverage to people who already are suffering from a medical condition.

    Why would anybody buy insurance before they get sick if there were no pre-existing clause?
    This is not to say that some undetected conditions may be present and should still be covered, but to wait until you have tumors all over your skin to then purchase insurance and go see the dermatologist/oncologist and expect the insurance company to cover everything is not reasonable.

    Good morning Hamsters. Doin’ the Snoopy Happy Dance again this morning–59 at 6. Yea! A slight northerly breeze ruffles the leaves; current 28% humidity bodes well for another comfortable day to get outside stuff done before the heat comes back.
    Good turnout at the open house for the Fort Bend County Republican Party yesterday at its new headquarters in Sugar Land. It has branch headquarters in several areas of the county. Speakers included Ted Cruz, Pete Olson, Glenn Hager, Rick Miller (candidate for House Dist 26) and the candidate for the new TX House District 85 (sorry to have misplaced his name) and Republican candidates for FBC offices. Also invited to speak briefly were the heads of Greater Fort Bend County Tea Party, Sugar Land Tea Party, and Katy Tea Party–recognition of the significant role the Tea Party Movement plays in this election as it did in 2010. At least in FBC, this recognition is cheerfully given. The assembled crowd cheered their comments, and for some in attendance it might have been the first time they had encountered Tea Party members. 🙂

    Uber tech-savvy JugEars struggles to use an i-phone.

    President Barack Obama enjoys a tech-savvy reputation, but struggled to use an iPhone yesterday after being introduced to the technology for what was apparently the first time.
    “It’s not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone,” wrote the White House pool reporter after the President failed to make a call to volunteers from a campaign office in Port St. Lucie, FL, the Washington Times reports.

    and in classic narcissistic fashion, he blames someone else for his personal knowledge deficit:

    “It’s not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone,” wrote the White House pool reporter after the President failed to make a call to volunteers from a campaign office in Port St. Lucie, FL, the Washington Times reports.
    Obama continued to struggle:
    Finally, Mr. Obama said, “Oh, I got to dial it in. Hold on, hold on. I can do this. See, I still have a BlackBerry.”
    The president then “had a little more trouble dialing,” the pool report said.
    The president then has more trouble dialing. When the call didn’t go through, he blamed Mr. Nicholson for having an insufficient cell phone plan….

    I was strongly encouraged to be confirmed in the Episcopal church when I was a young teen. Even back then there was this sort of controversy, but at the time it was about ordaining women. Much later, both daughters were confirmed at an Episcopal church that employed a less-than-closeted gay priest. He was pretty cool (but I don’t think he smoked weed.) I’m sure the congregations will eventually work out their differences as they have in the past.
    My little UU church just hired a new permanent minister after a two year search. Our temporary minister was a gay Christian. I’m taking a sabbatical from choir this fall so I haven’t met the new guy yet.

    #22 Shannon:
    Several semesters ago I was teaching a college class where the subject of Charles Dickens came up. The class, all high school graduates for the Houston area, had 25 students.
    Not a single student recognized the name of Charles Dickens. Not one. I mentioned several of his novels: “The Pickwick Papers”, “A Tale of Two Cities”, “Great Expectations”, “Oliver Twist” without even a glimmer of recognition.
    Finally, in desperation, I said, “Surely some of you guys have read A Christmas Carol!”
    Blank looks.
    Finally a lone student cautiously raised his hand and said, “Hey, that Christmas Carol thing – wasn’t that a Muppet Movie?”
    The sad thing is, not only do they not know who Kipling is. . . They don’t care.

    People unclear on the concept; Chicago teachers strike for first time in 25 years.

    Vitale said the contract amounted to a 16 percent raise over four years for the average teacher when factoring other increases. And the raises could not be rescinded for lack of funds — which is what happened this past school year, angering teachers and helping to set the stage for Monday’s strike.

    Great article about the D lies (amazing isn’t it, D lies and all) touting the “success” of the GM/Chrysler bailouts.

    As much as it will pain the hardworking men and women of GM to hear it, it is not worthwhile to save jobs at enterprises that cannot compete on their own merits. So long as the federal government is massively subsidizing the operation, a job at GM is a welfare program with a fairly robust work requirement. (And we all know how the Obama administration feels about work requirements.)

    If Obama is mostly to blame for our current situation, why did former president George W. Bush not speak at the pubbie pep rally?
    It would have been great! He could have taken a few minutes to remind everyone how he started and won two necessary and justified wars without increasing the national debt at all, how his tax cuts for the wealthier created a boat load of jobs, and how the evil godless left wing’s repeal of DADT has destroyed our military capabilities.
    Really, W ruled our country very well, just like he said he would, and his policies were a stunning success. The main difference between Bush and Romney is that Romney is more articulate and lacks that friendly, “uniter” Texas swagger.
    I miss Bush. Especially his speeches.

    BTW – our unit near Hobby is ready to rent. Fauna St near Telephone Road. It has convenient access to I-45 and 610. This is where my sister used to live. It’s a garage conversion efficiency unit, about 600 sq ft, with a large yard. It has a privacy fence along the front and one side. There’s a pear tree (good luck keeping the squirrels from eating the fruit!), a producing fig tree, and a pecan tree, along with other shade trees. It is in the flight path to Hobby, which provides some interesting sound effects as the jet wash makes its way down to the ground. There is considerable jet noise, but our tenants there get used to it. Appliances include refrigerator and a brand new gas stove. There are gas and electric w/d connections. It has a spacious tiled shower in the bath (this was originally going to be a handicapped unit for my Mom). Tenant will be responsible for cutting grass, or we’ll adjust the rent to cover this expense. We’re asking $385/month, $300 deposit, pet deposit extra, and pets must be approved and controlled.
    If you know of anyone who’s looking for a cozy unit, please let me know. We’ve already had some interest in the unit, but no one has signed a lease yet.

    Miss Amarillo and I celebrated an anniversary of sorts yesterday. We’d been chatting on FB for quite awhile when six months ago I finally sent her this message, using my cat’s FB page.

    What I’m about to say makes me a little nervous and a lot scared. This is uncharted territory for me, so I’m inclined to phrase it as a safely detached hypothetical. If some stray cat were to show up in the baggage claim area of the Amarillo airport, would you adopt him for a few days? He’s cute, fuzzy, mostly harmless, and almost house broken.

    We were on the phone after that, and I was on a plane on the 26th. We celebrated with a light lunch out at my fave Sunday spot, and watched the Texans game at the bar. I introduced her to this elderly couple that I often see there. They’ve been married 50+ years and are a real hoot. We must have chatted with them all through the second half. They live in the hood, so we’re going to stop by and visit them later this week.
    I’d tell y’all what we did when we got home, but it would certainly make Hammie’s Grammie blush.

    hi Gang
    Benna while since I have darkened the doorstep. Been busy contemplating my navel and such. So any way I was sittin here looking up old friends and got to reminiscing about the old LST days when I was the HMIC. (Thank gawwwwduh then days are done.) Anyhwo it struck me as funny watching the various styles some folks used when bowing out of arguments or trying nicely to tell a troll to go urinate up a rope. Invariably someone would write thses long screeds telling the other person how nice they were and all that crapolla and how they would have to agree to disagree and all that.
    And “we” would all have to scroll through that stuff.
    So as a community service I would like to offer this suggestion, if you feel like bowing out and trying to be all honorable and stuff and not rip the head off someone who prolly deserves it follow the example below. NOW IT IS JUST AN EXAMPLE do not be readin nuthin into it. So here goes.

    Hey Shammy
    This is for you.

    Is this really what our federal government should be worried about? I, mean, really?
    This is the kind of stuff that should be litigated. If some youngster is unsupervised enough to actually eat pretty detergent, one or two lawsuits would cause the manufacturer to change the product. We don’t need our heavy-handed federal legislators to jump into product appearance.
    Maybe they’ve run out of important things to do. In that case, we should reduce their days at the office (and salaries accordingly). Since just about every law is a restriction on someone’s freedom, I fully support reducing the number of days our legislators spend in thinking of ways to justify their presence and their ability to dictate our lives.

    Wendy Rosen, a small-business owner running against freshman Rep. Andy Harris (R) in the Eastern Shore-based 1st Congressional District, released a statement saying that “with great regret, and much sorrow” she was resigning from the contest.
    “Personal issues have made this the hardest decision that I have had to make,” Rosen said

    And what kind of personal issues would those be?

    “The Maryland Democratic Party has discovered that Ms. Rosen has been registered to vote in both Florida and Maryland since at least 2006; that she in fact voted in the 2006 general election both in Florida and Maryland; and that she voted in the presidential preference primaries held in both Florida and Maryland in 2008,” wrote Yvette Lewis, the state party chair. “This information is based on an examination of the voter files from both states. We believe that this is a clear violation of Maryland law and urge the appropriate office to conduct a full investigation.”

    Today is not the first time boobsy has tried to gen up some interest in his sex life among the Couch crew. It’s pathetic, really.

    Bob –
    It became a topic because you seem to make a point of telling us when (and trying to tantalize us with details not shared) whenever you and another partner get together.
    This isn’t the first time. It had nothing to do with the percentage of today’s comment. It’s a pattern that I find sad and annoying.
    Just keep it to yourself from now on, and we won’t pity you. Well, not for that, anyway.

    That reminds of one of the funniest lines I think I’ve ever heard in a movie. Hubby and I were watching the remake of “Sabrina” with Harrison Ford, who played a rather taciturn and heartless millionaire who falls in love with the chauffeur’s daughter. At the end of the movie, his secretary was telling him that she had helped pack his overnight bag. “You packed my bag?!” he exclaims, and she responds in a rather matter of fact voice, “We were up to our elbows in your underwear. It was like touching the Shroud of Turin.”
    I still crack up, just thinking about that line. Of course, having to explain it to Hubby made it less funny at the time, but I still enjoy it. I don’t know why it tickles my funny bone so, but it does.

    Of course not, you silly authoritarian.

    Unless we allow teh ghey to marry each other, the terrorists will have won.

    Unless people can provide a rational reason for, and show real benefit of their continued support of needless discrimination (often motivated by political greed) I will continue to logically conclude that such persons are irrational immoral authoritarian cowards, and I do still hold them personally, severally, and politically liable for the substantial harms they collectively cause to others. That goes double for the completely insane and proven deadly support of cannabis prohibition. That such fools arrogantly assume a position of moral superiority is a slap in the face to basic reason and intelligence.

    Ole Chucky Schumer wants to sart a jihad against the Tide detergent pods as being too dangerously attractive to chilluns–but he thinks they look delicious ?! Given the noxious drivel that repeatedly comes frothing forth from his mouth, he could use a pod for mouthwash. Or better, we could use a pod to wash his mouth out with soap. Then he could critique its taste v attraction. Gad.

    Ms. Shamaal just received a scam letter from an outfit called Homeserve displaying the State of Texas logo. It says, and I quote,

    A recent review of our service area indicates that your home at Friendswood is not covered by Water Service Line coverage from HomeServe.
    Without this coverage, you are responsible for the full cost of maintaining and repairing the exterior water service line that brings fresh water to your property.

    Their attempt is to frighten the homeowner into believing that the municipal authority is no longer servicing the line to the meter. On the second, separate page is a signing statement attesting that the mark has read the reverse of the first page. At the bottom of the first page are the actual terms and conditions that explain coverage only applies to the line between the meter and the house.
    How many folks are going to sign up for this bogus service? Mrs. Shamaal’s going to hit the water department tomorrow and complain. It’s not their fault but if enough people complain the City Attorney may take action. I find this kind of deception particularly irritating.
    At least with political mail, you know they are attempting to bamboozle you.

    I didn’t see any specific boycott threat details in the story up on Drudge. Interesting that a comment said the shopowner has been at the WH (again, no details) and the poster believes the whole bear hug thing was a publicity stunt setup. Boy, both POTUS and VPOTUS are out “rubbing shoulders” with the hoi polloi, with a vengeance.

    I was raised in a dry county in Alabama and the state had “Green Fronts”, state liquor stores. The ONLY place that you could buy the hard stuff in bottles or wine even, was in the state stores. Anywho, on the county line we had a bar, owned by an old German guy. He sold mixed drinks, beer and wine at his bar. Once a week he’d drive up to Montgomery and get several cases of 1/2 pints of Bourbon and Vodka that he would sell out of his back door,or his kitchen, he and his wife lived in the back of the bar. The 1/2 pints costs $2.00-$2.50 and he sold them for $5 bucks.

    One more bizarre survey result, see question 15.

    Who do you think deserves more credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?
    Barack Obama………………………………………… 63%
    Mitt Romney……………………………………………. 6%
    Not sure …………………………………………………. 31%

    Examination of the results disclose that 47% of Republicans were unsure. Now these may be the dumbest sumbucks on the planet, or they only answer that way out of spite, preferring their own alternate reality to that presented by the real world. Kind of explains a lot. 😉

    The irrelevant relegated to the dustbin of history and they are too stupid to realize they no longer matter…

    Estimated print advertising revenues of $19.0 billion in 2012 will be the lowest annual amount spent on print newspaper advertising since the NAA started tracking ad revenue in 1950.
    The decline in print newspaper advertising to a 62-year low is amazing by itself, but the sharp decline in recent years is pretty stunning. This year’s ad revenues of $19 billion will be less than half of the $46 billion spent just five years ago in 2007, and a little more than one-third of the $56.5 billion spent in 2004.

    Anyone care to hazard a guess what or who she is talking about? She has become a caricature of herself.

    “A whole host of new promises, really a slap in the face to the electorate. There’s an estimation of an unintelligent voting bloc out there, I think that President Obama is assuming will continue to want to get free stuff despite free stuff will replace freedom. And he’s just assuming that that voting bloc will be large enough to get him back in there but I just pray that Americans will open their eyes between now and November when they, you know, they’ll have to make that choice between free stuff or freedom. You can’t have both,”
