to bigsqwert this was a comment on yglesias' blog that I laughed out loud at: mark f Says: March 26th, 2010 at 12:37 pm One time a guy on his cell phone rear-ended Eric Cantor at a stop sign, so really both sides are doing it.

The New Catholic Church Scandal
What kind of logic is it that they think they can just wait it out? IMO, a mass resignation would be GOOD for the church. You can't think things have changed when everyone who was responsible is still in charge.

The New Catholic Church Scandal
2 years ago we visited the vatican and their new journalism/PR school they were putting in place. it appears they didn't follow any of the crap they spewed to us. This was the exact stuff we talked about, in crisis, would they serve as accurate liaisons for the church, or would they again close up. They took the Roger Ailes media to heart.

The New Catholic Church Scandal
Within the last month, new huge scandals have been uncovered in Ireland and Germany. With Germany, of course, is the huge blockbuster news that Pope benedict knew of abuse going on in Germany, and handled it, well you can guess. The NYT found abuse in the sixties of a priest molesting deaf children in a closet. He spoke sign language and was the reason the family brought their kids there. When the children grew up, they brought it to the church. It was ignored. They were yelled at. http://www.jsonline.com/features/religion/89121802.html Milwaukee story The national catholic reporter: The future pope knew: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/26/world/europe/26church.html An irish bishop was removed. That has been the only position so far that I know has been removed. A. Sullivan makes the case that it's because the church has chosen to view this as a sin and not a crime. But, with it now being a global crisis with the current popes hands red, action is being called upon. I hope to see some serious reform. So far benedict has tinkered around the edges.

The New Catholic Church Scandal
Yeah, well it's focused in Ireland and Germany. With a sidestory in NYT in Milwaukee of deaf children being molested in a closet by their priest, and the church ignoring them. ...f*** you are right this does need it's own thread. I won't discuss much in it but i'll start it.

The New Catholic Church Scandal
um...i guess i'll just say if you want to read about the church scandal go to andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com he's a good aggregator. Personally, I guess I just don't want to discuss it much because it really makes me sick.

The New Catholic Church Scandal
Yeah, i mean, isn't this even worse, though, than Boston? They've found proof that Pope Benedict knew about the abuse and did nothing. And they continue to refuse to apologize or any effort to remove those from the church. They are trying to build their congregation after "turning the page" after boston, this explodes. THE ONLY WAY to fix this is to show how serious the catholic church is on fixing it. 1. Using the countries local law enforcement 2. Letting priests marry.

The Democrat Thread
I thought this was a funny line, from Josh Marshall: "Cantor's claim seems to be that he was attacked by one of those Renaissance military engineers from Italy who first discovered the parabolic ballistic equations that allowed you to shoot artillery nearly straight up in the air and have it hit your enemy on the way back down."

The environment thread
since technically one of the stipulations was you could use the money for fixing curbs, they used seemingly all the money on that. At least the majority. And then would just paint a stripe with like 7 inches of room on the major roads, where cars go 55 mph and in bad weather are awful. So no biker still rides on those roads, but the city saved itself money by fixing the curbs with grant money!!!!!!!

# James Barr March 12th, 2010 11:37 am: Sorry to burst your bubble everyone, but this is a worthless test. Go cook a USDA prime filet mignon and let it sit on a plate indoors for a year, and it’s not going to rot because it DRIED OUT. Set it outside, and it will rot. Common sense…this test is 100% worthless and furthermore, extremely misleading. Seriously, try it with a prime cut of beef if you don’t believe me. Anything that is allowed to dry and remain in an indoor, dry environment will have the same result. There are valid reasons to avoid fast food restaurants, but this is not one of them. # Nonna Joann March 12th, 2010 12:10 pm: Okay, I know the climate played a part in my Happy Meal’s preservation. I’m well aware that this was not a scientific study. I did NOT call it an experiment. I saved the Happy Meal to observe and blog about. Which I did. I recorded my opinions. You might want to take a look at these McDonald French fries which were placed in a sealed jar. It’s amazing that after 461 days they don’t look too different from mine> http://www.davisonshire.org/Junk/McMold.htm

GOP refuses to work past 2pm
Well, cantor is a douche, big surprise: The Richmond Police Department released the following statement Thursday, along with this incident report: Richmond Police Investigate Cantor Building Vandalism March 25, 2010 The Richmond Police Department is investigating an act of vandalism at the Reagan Building, 25 E. Main St., Richmond, Virginia. A first floor window was struck by a bullet at approximately 1 a.m. on Tuesday, March 23. The building, which has several tenants including an office used by Congressman Eric Cantor, was unoccupied at the time. A Richmond Police detective was assigned to the case. A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction, landing on the floor about a foot from the window. The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds. There was no other damage to the room, which is used occasionally for meetings by the congressman. The Richmond Police Department is sharing information about the incident with appropriate law enforcement agencies. At this time there are no suspects.

again, there is no difference between telling someone to f*** off on the floor of congress and saying this is a big f***ing deal at a bill signing.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) Does Obama have to sign again? Maybe he'll veto it. That would be some s***. Will Biden use a different expletive at the next signing? Yes, this is a different bill.

Say hey, It's Kotsay
We should have known this would happen. Give him one awful offensive player, he'll play everyday. We took that to mean that he had a quota of one awful offensive position in a lineup per year. We didn't realize that if we gave him four he would put them at four positions in a day AHHHHH life is over.
