Sunday morning news

Watching  EWTN this morning and Bishop Fulton Sheen talk about scientific research advances--in 1956. It's in B&W and his hair was still dark. He's trying to make it interesting by joking about how dull the subject is. He must have launched a hundred religious TV preachers, but I don't think anyone has matched him. Conclusion: scientists don't invent, they discover. God does the inventing. God has put all the laws out there. But he was right--it was rather dull. Psalms say the same thing.

Switched to the national news—two weeks after Sandy and the people in New Jersey and New York are practically rioting.  It’s a good thing Obama put in an appearance the day after the storm.  It certainly helped, didn’t it?  This will all be used for his new regulations to stem climate change.  See item above—especially Psalms.

Hmm.  Long lists of lay offs are coming out. I feel badly for the workers; they not only lose income, but their social support, especially women who are more likely than men to depend on work friends. But hey, they’ve got free birth control for voting with their lady parts instead of their check book. This will be Obama’s legacy—same as the first term.  Higher unemployment,  more on food stamps, and the poor getting the shaft with Obamacare.  Yes, this is what America, or 50% of us, voted for. In 2009 eligible people were signing up for SNAP benefits at an average rate of 20,000 a day. This year, the rate increased to 22,000 a day. Why is that since according to the chief, jobs are coming back and unemployment is believe 8%. I think it may be because more people were hired with ARRA money to recruit recipients.

And General Petraeus’ lover got nasty with some other woman and that’s how the investigation got started?  Did she drive somewhere wearing a diaper?  What makes lovers/mistresses think they have more rights than wives? Hey, he’s already been proven unfaithful.   We’ll never know about his testimony on Benghazi.  It will be behind closed doors, and our ever vigilant press won’t be able to find a single leaker.  When his tell all book comes out, Americans will be busy watching the latest White House reality TV show, Dancing with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Big explosion in Indianapolis destroyed 14 homes, and 2 dead.  I’ll have to check with the relatives.
