Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, April 30, 2015. On this day in 1789 on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City, George Washington took the oath of office to become the first elected President of the United States. Note the existing building in NYC is not the original federal hall where Washington was inaugurated.

The FBI helped the family of the hostage who was killed a few days ago pay ransom for his release. Note that he wasn't released, which is one of the reasons we should not be in the business of paying ransom.

Pope Francis continues his foray into liberal politics. Now taking on the so-called income inequality gap that the commies push. It is past time for this one to step down before he destroys the church.

Doesn't matter. They will come up with something. The police falsifying reports. Or they made a deal under the table with the other prisoner.
They could show a video of Freddie Gray pulling a trigger on himself, and they would think it was doctored. That's just the mindset of the anarchists.

Perhaps if we were to pay them, they would not prey on shipping.
Maybe create a Federal level tax to fund it.

The LCF speaks:
Presidential candidate and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on Wednesday that he has never seen a Hispanic person begging for money on the street.
"I don't think I've ever seen an Hispanic panhandler. And the reason is: In our community it would be shameful to be begging on the street," Cruz said, recalling a conversation he once had with a Latino businessman on the topic.

Pope Francis has added his voice to the feminist anthem of equal pay for equal work, saying it's 'scandalous' that women earn less than men for doing the same job.
So the Red Pope will now allow women priests and apy all clergy the same? If nuns are prevented from entering high paid church jobs, how can they even get paid for doing the same job?

At the same time, a loose coalition of retailers, state officials and allied groups is trying to rally support for the plan in both chambers of Congress.
Retailers and others are coalescing behind Chaffetz because of House Republican resistance to the main online sales tax bill in the Senate (S 69

UC Riverside's recent decision to stop selling the Sabra brand of hummus owned by an Israeli company because of a student groups request was a mistake, school officials said Wednesday.
The bad had been in response to a letter sent to the schools vice president of internal affairs and student government leaders. Students for Justice in Palestine said campus restaurants selling Sabra brand hummus violated the university's "Tartan Soul", a reference to the values associated with campus mascot Scotty Highlander.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Thanks for the news, Vic.
Here's a Tony Curtis story:
After the war, Curtis studied acting at the New School in Greenwich Village, where one of his classmates was Walter Matthau. As it turned out, Curtis was the first to be snapped up by Hollywood.
It was a cold, rainy New York day, and Matthau, drenched to the skin, was wearily waiting for a bus when he heard someone call, "Wally - hey, Wally!" Looking around, Matthau saw Curtis waving to him from the back of a long, elegant limousine. Leaving his place in line, Matthau loped over to the car.
"Well, hi, Bernie," he smiled. "What's new?"*
Curtisflashed a wolfish grin. "I just fucked Yvonne DeCarlo!"
And with a laugh, he rolled up the window and drove off, leaving Matthau to wilt in the rain.
Here's the Ronald Reagan fan Miss DeCarlo (born Margaret Yvonne Middleton) in her first big success, 1945s Salome, Where She Danced:

Pope Francis continues his foray into liberal politics. Now taking on the so-called income inequality gap that the commies push. It is past time for this one to step down before he destroys the church.
Well, I'm no expert in the politics of the Roman Curia, but I put some of the blame on Benedict's shoulders, for not speaking out and putting the smack down on some of Francis' idiocy. Sitting in silence while the Church is hijacked to further socialism is just as bad as actively aiding it, IMO.

When Tony was first hitting his stride, he took his father - an old Hungarian Jewish man - to a swanky Hollywood party. Tony introduced his dad to John Huston, and when the father extended his hand to the director he said, solidly "Schwartz." John Huston said, "Oh, Mr. Curtis, it's nice to meet you but why did you change your name? It was so beautiful."

Well, actually, regarding Ted Cruz' s comment, I, uh, have to agree based soley on my own empirical evidence. And, working out and about in the Loop, I see at least 20 or so bums/panhandlers every day. I'd say slightly more blacks than whites, but not by much. The craziest ones, the ones who rave and are wrapped in feces-smeared quilts, etc., tend to be older black guys.
And I do give money to bums. I just do. I always have the stupid, naive notion that a dollar and a kind word might make a difference in one person's life. I know if I were ever that desperate it would mean something to me.

Listen, douche, we know Freddie died of a broken neck.
We DON'T know how his neck was broken. Most of us would rather find out how it happened and if (read that again: if) any inappropriate force was used before we condemn en masse an entire city's police department.
Pre-supposing inappropriate force, we'd then like to see the judicial system work though the issue with all appropriate trials, juries, verdicts, et al.
What we DON'T want to see, support, condone or accept is a select populace deciding it already knows everything, has all the facts and has taken upon itself the full and sole roles of judge, jury and executioner.
No one's saying Freddie deserved to die. No one's saying that unnecessary death at the hands of the police is acceptable. What we're saying is: 'let the facts come out before we start lighting shit on fire.'
If that's in any way unclear or confusing, I respectfully suggest that Mrs. Krabappel's class might be a better place for you to continue your education.

Serious question: Has anybody ever heard of anybody ever getting a job by completing a govt. "job training program" Because I have seen that solution to urban problem trotted out about 10,000 times the last 30 years and have never met a single working person that mentioned completing one of those training programs.
During the Reagan years -- when employment was skyrocketing -- my state had some sort of subsidy to train workers. I had to personally device a training schedule that would take someone from unknowledgeable to competent in something like eight to twelve weeks. We paid about half, the state paid the other half of the persons salary. At the end of that time the apprentice was actually pretty decent.
Then he got into drugs and became a nightmare. Factory was buzzing, productivity at an alltime high, and he would 'no call, no show' over and over again.

"Yes, this Pope is going to destroy the Catholic church"
No, he's not. I'm not a fan of his, but the Church has weathered much worse Popes in the past. (He's good in some ways, terrible when it comes to economics and has the odd idea that all of his passing opinions on everything need to be shared with the world.) I wish we had a better leader at this point in history, but please, some perspective. The Church has been around for 2000 years.
Of course, I'm looking at it from a certain perspective:
"On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it."
I'm worried sick about my country. The church, not so much.

Please-The Pope will not destroy the church . Don't you think that in the entire history of the Papacy there haven't been bad Popes-if you consider this Pope one of them? There haven't been big crises in the papacy? Com'on now Think Avignon and the great schism. Matthew 16:18 says "on this rock I will build my church and gates of hell will not prevail against it." You really shouldn't have a Protestant pastor tell you this. ;^) but go to someone Catholic (Bannion?) who is studying to be a Permanent Deacon.
From this Protestant'sperspective, "on this rock I will build my church" means Peter's declaration that Jesus is the Messiah-the chosen one of God is the rock and the church is made up of people who profess that and desire to live as his disciples. practicing submission to God and desire to be transformed into the image of Christ.
Guys-Ask for the Holy Spirit to give you spiritual strength and practice those disciples to aid in that. You RC's also have a whole lot of Saints you can ask to pray for you and the church and is not Mary considered the patron of the Americas?

In today's dollars my factory 'apprentice' would have been earning about $40,000 a year. But drugs were rampant. So 'apprentice' would come to work high or drunk. As employer do you use that persons limited ability to reason and hope they sober up after a few hours, taking the risk they'll hurt themselves or damage expensive equipment, or send them home?

I'm not believing any rumors or reports. I'm waiting for forensics and autopsy to come out.
I am sadly indifferent. Police abuse we have always had with us. The rioting has no excuse and needs to be stopped.

As for pandering for Hispanic votes I think Bush did the best there of any candidate and he didn't get much above 40% in 2004 and there is a lot of debate on that number being based on a faulty poll. Romney got 28% and historically Hispanics vote 75% for Dems. Why is that? Because outside of the Cuban community around Miami they like their free shit too.

In observations, it occurred to me that, with the unrest in Ferguson, New York, Baltimore and the rest, the upcoming Mitt Romney and Evander Holyfield boxing match, where the most recent Republican Presidential candidate is going to attempt to thrash a black man, is going to provide some interesting optics.
Seems tailor made for Youtube clips and Daily Show snark fodder.

If any of you would like to keep commenting on whether the "snitch story" has merit, please read the Sun article from yesterday about the various detainees with broken necks, and the tens of millions in liability Baltimore has been paying for past situations that exactly match the Freddie May event.

No one knows exactly what was wrong with Mr. Gray but if the story is true the indications that he was higher than the proverbial Kite could be true.

Also, criticizing Benedict for not criticizing Francis is rather absurd.

Over political (not theological) questions like economics and global warming? I can't think of anything more damaging to the Church than that.

Has anybody ever heard of anybody ever getting a job by completing a govt. "job training program"
I attended a job training program in 1969 to learn the Machinist, Tool & Die trade. 40 weeks, $52.00 a week, made our own tools and learned all the machines. I attended with a good friend, we both worked in the trade until we retired last year. I still do design work from home.
The problem is the youths that have no HS education and are only there to collect a check, and then bring their entitled attitude to the job and the B.S. attitude "you can't tell me what to do"

No, sweetheart.
You should easily be able to prove your claim that people don't injure themselves. If you can't prove that, then you should be able to easily prove Freddie Gray was not trying to injure himself.
If you can't prove that, then - and I'm just spitballing here - perhaps you should wait, with the rest of us, for the facts to come out.
You've taken a fact - Freddie Gray died from a broken neck suffered while in police custody - and added an assumption - The police must have directly caused or created conditions which allowed this injury - to reach your conclusion.
Refusing to acknowledge any other possibility, even when faced with people making claims which would impact the conclusions of a rational person, is nota sign of intelligence.

Freddy clearly, from his rap sheet, had drug issues. Was he hanging around that project to score some smack? A guy that needs a fix will do anything to get to a hospital and score some oxy. He kept asking to go to the hospital. Would love to see a toxicology report.
In white society, if Freddy was white, a drug dealer and user, multiple convictions, hanging out in our neighborhood, either buying or selling drugs, would we give one fuck about him? We'd want the police to do their job and get him off the streets. Which they did, repeatedly. Only to have him reappear.

The statement by the other prisoner actually dovetails with a much earlier report stating that a witness on the street (Not the Prisoner in the van) stated that at the stop where the leg irons were placed on Freddy, as the van pulled away, there were noised consistent with a prisoner yelling, and kicking the interior sides of the van.
One of the commonly offered street ideas is that Freddies spine was severed during the initial arrest, as the video recordings show the Officers holding him down with a knee to the upper back area, and his legs being limp while being dragged to the wagon for transport.
These inconsistencies are clear indicators that a full investigation into the events is required, prior to anyone assuming that they know "The Truth" full

Ok, I'll leave a summary comment. The reality, an already present situation, or "dominant" narrative of Baltimore arestees with broken necks from "rough rides" in police vans is undisputed. It has happened several times, been found to have been the cause of death or permanent paralysis, and both civil and criminal penalties assessed in the recent past, and going back many years. To all the blustery ad hominem replies I've gotten from the emotionally charged "morons": I don't know that Freddie May was injured by a "rough ride". It's possible, and given how closely it matches past cases, logic dictates "probable".... It is *possible* he was trying to hurt himself to get some painkillers. However, IT IS NOT PROBABLE. Jail doesn't work that way. It would have been q bad gamble for him, and he would have KNOWN THAT from being through the system. It's also not PROBABLE he threw himself around the van and managed to do it hard enough to BREAK HIS OWN NECK...... Ultimately, if you believe that, you lack critical thinking skills, have insufficient deductive logic capability, or having been drinking whiskey with your coffee. /i win

Ok, I'll leave a summary comment. The reality, an already present situation, or "dominant" narrative of Baltimore arestees with broken necks from "rough rides" in police vans is undisputed. It has happened several times, been found to have been the cause of death or permanent paralysis, and both civil and criminal penalties assessed in the recent past, and going back many years.

We all remember Bill Clinton at a funeral laughing and smiling, then -- realizing a camera is on him -- puts his head down and acts somber?
Freddy Gray. The drug dealing parasite of society knew what he was doing. Apologists for him are little better.

I remember a Baltimore city bus being involved in a vehicle accident.
By the time it was over, more then 350 people had been seen by medical facilities for injuries they claimed to have received while riding that 55 passenger bus.
That was one of the major reasons why video cameras were installed on MTA busses.
Not for safety, but to protect the city from false lawsuits.

Freddy had also just received some of that sweet lawsuit settlement money from the city concerning a Lead Paint Exposure lawsuit which both he and his twin sister Frederica had won.
Freddy had apparently sold his $180,000.00 settlement paid over many years, to a firm for an upfront cash price of $18.000.00.
So Freddy had already tasted the fruits of Lawsuit winnings, and with the city having a long history of paying large amounts to settle Police Brutality claims....well, who knows.
The above, while based on factual events, supported by Court Records is pure speculation on my part, and has as much validity as dumbasses entire Probable vs Possible argument.
Now...can I have a cookie?

Will Sanders' campaign slogan be "A fried chicken in every pot" or would that be racist?

An off-duty femal police officer acting as a Walmart guard was stabbed 14 times in a surprise ambush attack by a black THUG who said he wants to get even for police brutality against blacks. I blame the MFM, Holder, and Obama.

Vic,
The church has survived during times of famine, persecution plague, wars, communism. They've gone underground when the church wasn't allowed. Again, The Scripture says Jesus says, "On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell with not prevail against it." Do you have hope? Is it in -in the Lord Jesus and what the Bible says or someplace else?
If Roman Catholics or any other Christians are feeling hopeless about the state of the church than go to the one who established it-Jesus who promised to be with us always even unto the end of the age. Catholics have blessed spiritual resources-the Eucharist and confession, scripture and prayer. and great readings from Catholics saints and mystics and church fathers Catholics can go to Mass daily if their schedules allow. You have said you don't go to church. I'm not jugging you here-I'm just saying if you're RC you're missing out on those wonderful spiritual resources. Protestants have the Lor'd's Supper too. They have the Bible, prayer, fellowship with other believers, readings teachers of the faith some of whom spent years in jail because of their witness. I think you take a lot of time provide a great service here by providing news on every terrible thing that this administration is doing ;^) but frankly, if it were me I would be in a depressed heap on the floor if I didn't stand upon the Rock-Jesus Christ. Sorry if getting some "old time religion" here bothers you and I'm not trying too get into an argument but I look around-in the world in general and see people who are "functional Atheists" .
They can use religious language and say they believe in God but they don't look to him to do anything, but hope maybe some politician might.
get things straight. I find that a sad way of existing.

Amen, Fenelon.
Imagine the power of Jesus Christ if we held a coordinated prayer for the health of our country. We do an awful lot of opining on our blogs to vent, let's spend 60 seconds of that time together in prayer to The Almighty.
