Happy May Day, comrades! (Actually, it's the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker. Wonder if the commies appropriated it after the Catholic Church or the church accommodated them with his selection.)
Since we're following the UK in Muslim tolerance, will this be next? Gross.

Just mentioned to a co-worker yesterday that there must have been some huge news about to drop for Obama to wake up before noon
He looked choomed up.

So my son had a diversity interview yesterday at his private Catholic high school. I had no idea they would do this.
The black interviewer told him he should be proud of his "diverse" (non-white) side and that "we are still a pretty racist country and someday that might get him a job".
I'm still cleaning up the house from my head exploding when he told me.

Vic, I'm starting to think Rush is wrong about Ted Cruz's claim that immigration isn't supposed to pass but be a campaign issue for '14. I'm also getting sick of Rush and Levin saying what a true conservative The Rube is. I couldn't believe Rush said that yesterday -- after we all watched The Rube flat out lie about what's in that bill. He's on the take from Big Ag.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes. Thanks for the morning briefing, Vic.
For those of you outside of MA, the “moderate Republican” Gabriel Gomez won the GOP primary vote to go up against Ed “The Toast of Chevy Chase” Markey. As you might expect, the usual suspects were all calling in to radio shows this morning, urging people to take a nice big bite of the RINO shit sandwich in order to save the country. My opinion? As one caller to WRKO said, I’d rather vote for Gomez Addams than Gabriel Gomez.*
Now to story time - as IÂ’ve mentioned before, I donÂ’t like Katharine Hepburn. I find her to be extremely annoying, both as an actress and as a person. But I do have a nice story about her, and here it is:
Jayne Meadows (later Steve Allen’s wife and the sister of “Alice Kramden” Audrey Meadows) knew that her best feature was her smile. But after initial tests at MGM, she was told that her teeth were too white. So, trying to be a good studio player, she spent the next several months doing her best not to expose her teeth and, as a result, developed a complex about it.
It so happened that one day she was in the middle of makeup tests for Hepburn’s 1946 movie Undercurrent. The director asked her to smile; promptly, Meadows explained, “Oh, they told me not to smile. My teeth are too white.” Hepburn overheard the remark and stepped to Meadows’ side. “My dear,” she said, patting the actress’ shoulder, “they told me not to smile because it made me look like a horse. I’ve made it pay for years. Smile.”
HereÂ’s another MGM story, this one starring the great Ethel Barrymore:
Barrymore was signed to Metro late in her career, and by that point she was much more interested in baseball and boxing than she was in acting. During the filming of one movie, Barrymore was sitting in her dressing room listening to the ball game when there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” Barrymore called, and through the door came a young Esther Williams.
“Miss B,” Williams asked, “are you going to see the dailies?”
“No, my dear, no,” Barrymore replied. “I never see dailies – never.”
The perky Williams, always anxious about her own acting abilities, asked, “But Miss B, doesn’t it help your performance to see the dailies?”
Barrymore looked at Williams, her turquoise eyes shining. “My dear,” she said imperiously, “I never saw myself on the stage.”
And thatÂ’s it for me. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
*In the episode Gomez, the People’s Choice, Gomez runs for mayor, with the slogan, “Watch His Smoke!” It’s very funny; catch it on Netflix if you can.

Yes, because 15 year old girls are naive and reckless, surely some of them will take it improperly and hemorrhage to death. Or they could take it in the exactly prescribed manner and have an allergic reaction and die. Or they could use it multiple times in a month and have goodness knows what happen to them--sterility, death, whatever.....

The black interviewer told him he should be proud of his "diverse"
(non-white) side and that "we are still a pretty racist country and
someday that might get him a job"
My response would have been to look at the idiot and say, "If we're still a pretty racist country, why aren't you hanging from a tree?"
But that's just me. Any "Catholic" school that has a 'diversity interview' is one you should run, not walk, away from as fast as you can. Otherwise your son will have his head filled with racist garbage and 'social justice' foolishness.

Not a Jesuit school or I wouldn't have sent him. He's a senior so we've taken the measure of the place and it has served him very well- scholarship offers at every school he applied to- and this is one of the few times I have run into something at all disturbing there.
Mary Poppins- my son's responses where to call the interviewer out on the pride bit by saying that he was also proud of his white heritage and to say that he would rather get a job because he works hard and is smart.
There will be a response. I'm still formulating it. I will respond directly to the interviewer for his racism.
Folks- this is the best school hands down that I have encountered and I went to multiple high schools in different places myself and took the time to see what all the locals have to offer. If even they start pushing racial grievance mongering we are screwed.

That's OK though. Her parents can then sue the manufacturer. The FDA will feign outrage and force the manufacturer to pull the drug off the market. Hearings will be held and, somehow, the FDA will escape all blame.

The NEA is not a union; they are a lobbying (and arm-twisting)* outfit. It really doesn't make any difference in terms of effect but it might in a court. In my mind, it makes the situation worse.
* Their strength lies in threatening school districts to do as they demand. If the districts refuse, the NEA has massive legal resources to wear down the limited budgets of schools. Most schools just knuckle under.

Not really, Anna, though it's more of a DeMaupassant thing - I love having written, but I hate to write. My problem is also, being a movie fan, I tend to see scenes in much more detail than anything else, and the effort required to get that image down on paper is frustrating. Still, I've got a lot of free time coming up over the next few days, so I'm going to do my best to chain myself to the desk and at least get this one scene (involving resurrection / reincarnation and 1917-era special effects) down.
Thank you for asking. You're very kind. How's our old friend Sluggor doing?

Gomez v. Markey? Typical MA bullshit: two Democrats running against each other. This state was stupid enough to elect Choom Boy's pal, Devil Patrick, so no one should be surprised that they went for Senor Hands Across the Aisle and a corrupt turd who has spent 40 years on the Golden Public Teat.
After voting for Kennedy, Kerry, Bawney Fwank and Lieawatha Warren, picking the current two shitstains probably felt like an act of political courage to the Massholes.
Surprisingly, in my town the voter turnout was fairly high. Friggin' idiots.

The GOP needs to develop a strategy here, a good cop/bad cop tag team, if you will. What we most need is someone in the background directing things, but with no interest in running himself. Yes, I'm talking about a puppeteer or a kingmaker. There is a reason such people have always existed. Right now, we've got lots of independent actors running around, trying to rise above the herd, like crabs in a pot.
If only there were an organization whose job it was to do such things, and do them well and intelligently. Yes, we would run the risk of the dreaded establishment picking our candidates, but note the qualifiers I included. As it is, the party looks like Keystone Kops.

Welcome to popular culture, pal. This is not surprising with all the support Polanski gets from Whoreyweird. Parents have a responsibility to say fuck that shit and point out when idiots dress their girls like sluts and what a poor job they're doing in raising a child with any degree of self respect. I don't care if people don't like that; I need people like that in my life like an STD.

Catholic schools may be a joke, but they still beat the pants off public schools. Imma send my kid to one.
I went to public schools. Everyone says 'hey you're smart' [and OK, whatever] but I always tell them that's just native intelligence. It was never developed by the public schools and they did me a profound disservice by not making any effort towards discipline in thinking. That came much later, and at my own effort. There are still huge gaps that show up at odd times but I know they're there.

Question:
Anybody have opinions on Lifelock for kids? We're supposed to get SS# for the baby soon and I'm seriously considering it after we got a letter addressed to "the parents of [Bigby's kid]" that had already been roughly opened *while still in the post office's possession*

Plus the matter of your vehicles. Once loaded must have less than half a tank of fuel. Then take it to get weighed to get a final reading for front and rear axle weight plus where the CG is for that vehicle.

I thought of an interesting twist to this push for gun control. I would like to see the Republicans publicly propose an amendment that says "You can have your gun control, but as soon as there is a single mass shooting, all provisions are null and void." This would force the Dems to either say that they 100% believe that gun control would prevent mass shootings or to acknowledge what they know to be true (but want to pretend isn't) that gun control can't stop people with bad intentions from getting guns.

It appears that many parents don't teach their kids to respect themselves, or anything else, anymore. Mrs. Nighthawk and I worked (and prayed) very hard to make sure our daughter, now 24, learned to respect herself, her parents, her fellow human beings, and God.
And we did that within the "Popular Culture" so it can be done, but it ain't easy and I resent the living Hell out of the government for pulling things like this which only make it harder.

No offense, but I'm not exactly interested in it from a religious angle. Its funny. The wife doesn't want the kid to go to a Catholic school because she doesn't want religion 'shoved down his throat' and have 'guilt piled up on him' but she's open to Protestant schools. I'm telling her she's living in a 50's fantasy world of what Catholicism is about and anyway they advertise "in the Catholic tradition" which is code for "we're not all that catholic". Protestant schools, OTOH, won't allow Halloween to be celebrated, won't allow proms, etc etc

Oh, no offense taken at all. But the point still holds. If you're going to a Jesuit high school, you can expect more politically correct wackiness. So fidelity to Catholic teaching in high schools ends up being a proxy for intellectual rigor here.
And you're exactly right, your wife is running a cartoon in her head about what Catholicism is - especially now. To each his own.

Congratulations. I have two older girls and, if I can allow myself to pat Mrs H and myself on the back, we did a pretty good job raising them. But it's not easy; if you hear somebody tell you that parenting is not difficult, you might ask them where their children are incarcerated or how many bastard grandchildren they have. It is hard work to reinforce saying "no" when other parents are being doormats to Sodom and Gomorrah but we presented a pretty much unified front (I was a lighter touch on letting them do things and they went to Mrs H for money; so it wasn't a *total* sync up of discipline but still much better than most).

Thought experiement for those with liberal acquaintances:
Get them to agree to the following premises--abortion is based on right to privacy, Obamacare allows dependency until age 26.
Educate them on the concept of manus--in Roman times, the patriarch could kill anyone in his household at any time for any reason.
Ask them to explain the difference. Watch heads explode. Make them define when life begins and hammer the inconsistencies inherent in the position.

We never really shopped for private schools when we yanked our oldest out of a bad situation in public school ten years ago. We had friends at this school who raved about it, and have family at another private Christian school not far away that said it was a little too rigid.
So we dove in to the first one we found and never looked back.
I expect that each can be very different, one from the next, depending on who gave the money for the land, who gave the money for the buildings, and whoever is currently running the board.

Cruz is one of the most intelligent, direct, unapologetic people to come along in some time. One thing that has truly killed the party is the waffling, technocratic, demographic squishes who can't articulate any particular position because they are always straddling the fence.
We need leadeship, not politicians. People who have a vision and are not embarrassed to express it, water it down to liberal-lite. Someone who can change the party image most folks have of the party for old white guys. We are better, more inclusive and smarter than that.
People thirst for thoughtful, smart as a whip leadership. Cruz fulfills that desire IMVHO.

Father Hate raised me to say that to anybody older than me and it served me well. I still use it although the number of people older than me is dwindling. My "Sons of the Confederacy" maternal grandfather from Richmond hated that I was being raised that way (for an obvious reason) but Father H said "fuck that shit; he's my son and that's how he's being raised". Case closed. It teaches respect for your elders which is sadly lacking in our dogshit excuse for a culture.

On one hand, the Boston bomber must have been pretty damn bad to be denied entry to Mecca. I'm assuming he was going for the Hajj, and they let every Muslim in for it. On the other hand, I suspect the Saudis are a little tougher on non-Arab Muslims so while every dirkadirka jihad can get into Mecca, the Eastern European Muslims probably need to be on a little better behavior.

So I was driving in to work this morning and saw a bunch of news vans in front of the high school across the street from where I work. Fox 25, WHDH 7, etc; the Boston stations. "Well that can't be anything good," I thought to myself. "When Boston starts trundling up here to do on-location news stories in li'l ole NH, it either means there's been a bomb scare or a fucking politician is wandering around loose."
I don't know which is worse, to be honest.
Anyway, turns out that some kid rehearsing for the school play last night had been acting weird and depressed all day, and when his friend tried to talk to him about it he pulled a gun on her. I don't think there was any actual SHOOTING, but the cops arrested him and are charging him as an adult. No name's been released, though, so I'm guessing he's a juvenile (makes sense for a high school kid).
So, that's fun.

Anyway, turns out that some kid rehearsing for the school play last night had been acting weird and depressed all day, and when his friend tried to talk to him about it he pulled a gun on her. I don't think there was any actual SHOOTING, but the cops arrested him and are charging him as an adult. No name's been released, though, so I'm guessing he's a juvenile (makes sense for a high school kid).

The first clue he was weird and depressed was that he was in the school play.

"I thought of an interesting twist to this push for gun control. I would like to see the Republicans publicly propose an amendment that says "You can have your gun control, but as soon as there is a single mass shooting, all provisions are null and void." This would force the Dems to either say that they 100% believe that gun control would prevent mass shootings or to acknowledge what they know to be true (but want to pretend isn't) that gun control can't stop people with bad intentions from getting guns."
No.
No, not just No, but Fuck No.
If you don't think the commies will say "Sure! We'll only stick the tip in!", you're going to be in for an awful surprise when they end up balls-deep.

"In other news, today is my second day of homeschooling, "
Congrats. My wife has homeschooled our 2 boys for 4 years now. We are so glad they are not in a public school, or many of the private ones around here. The schools here are run by idiots anmd reverse racists.
When you home school everyday is a school day and everything you do is an opportunity to teach.
They are also Boy Scouts, which is part of their education. The Scouts are being ruined though by lawers and fags.

So my son had a diversity interview yesterday at his private Catholic high school. I had no idea they would do this.
The
black interviewer told him he should be proud of his "diverse"
(non-white) side and that "we are still a pretty racist country and
someday that might get him a job".
I'm still cleaning up the house from my head exploding when he told me.

Oh FFS.
Well frankly I'm tired of playing nice with the various wingnut organizations in the church.
Write the archbishop. Remind him this is exactly counter to Catholic teaching.
They actually hate hearing from random people, mostly because it's usually some position they shouldn't have been put into in the first place.
Of course if it's Jesuit you're just screwed. 100% screwed.

Don't let EoJ hear you say that!
(Kidding!)
But honestly? I've never really understood the male aversion to theater and other performing arts. I understand that it's not a particularly masculine endeavor, like sports or cars or anything, but you know what it DOES have?
Girls. Lots of girls. Often really pretty girls who dream of being the next Gwyneth Paltrow (hey, I said pretty, not smart).
You'd think at least one or two of the smarter male students would take one look at the typical high school theater production and think to themselves, "JACKPOT!" And 3/4 of the time they'd be guaranteed a lead role!
But I'm a chick, so what do I know? lol!

I actually ran the stage crew when I was in high school. I had a recurring role as the guy who got fought over during the freshman girls' number at the annual Musical Review. Then I'd get hired to run the stage for the local dance schools yearly performance. Yes, I got paid to sit backstage and help all the hot girls change outfits between numbers. So yeah, there are some benefits.

Oh, no offense taken at all. But the point still holds. If you're going to a Jesuit high school, you can expect more politically correct wackiness. So fidelity to Catholic teaching in high schools ends up being a proxy for intellectual rigor here.
And you're exactly right, your wife is running a cartoon in her head about what Catholicism is - especially now. To each his own.
Posted by: Sean Bannion at May 01, 2013 08:30 AM (sbV1u)
I got lucky. My Jesuit school was still run by old school Jesuits when I went there.
There was one crazy wacko Jesuit, but by the time I left they had literally sent him into exile (he couldn't live in the community, he wasn't allowed to teach, he was effectively a parish priest at a church a few miles away.)
He tried to undermine the president. He wanted to set up one of those "Gay-Straight alliance" things. Force pledge signing taken straight from Rainbow Alliance. (Plus students could wear pins that it was supposed to be "safe" to come out to them. Because teenagers, that will end well.) President told him "No, come back with something actually Catholic and not so stupidly risky and we can talk." He set up a table and "started" it while the president (and principle) were out of town at a conference.
They literally flew back in that day/evening the next morning *poof* he was gone. I was on a student advisory board at the time, so I got to see how pissed off the rest of the Jesuits that he tried this. Foaming at the mouth angry that he'd take shit from the rainbow alliance and try to pass it off at acceptable to Catholic teaching.

MWR,
In high school, I tried out for the school play because there were some hot chicks. I was pleased as punch when I got my part because the character was a husband with lots of interaction with the character of the wife. I had all sorts of teenage fantasies about one of the hot chicks getting the wife part but the cruelest of all things a happened. My sister got the wife part. FUCK! She was annoying as shit back then and she tormented me endlessly.
Time heals most wounds and I've recovered. Mostly.
