The Pope's New YouTube Channelquote:As you may have heard, Pope Benedict XVI has decided to follow in the digital footprints of President Obama, the Queen of England, and other world leaders, and launch an official Vatican YouTube channel. You also may have heard that the Pope has reinstated an excommunicated British priest who is a Holocaust denier. What you might not have heard, is that he made this announcement on YouTube. And as you'll see, the pontiff is embracing all that YouTube has to offer. Take a look.
quote:The Pope embracing the new digital era. Exciting stuff. The Pope embracing a delusional Holocaust denier. Not so exciting. The Priest in question is Bishop Richard Williamson who, in November, said on Swedish television that "Historical evidence is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed." Just the type of man you want back in your flock. Here's video of the interview.
quote:The Pope should put that video on the Vatican's YouTube channel. I'm sure it would get a ton of hits. In fairness, Williamson wasn't actually excommunicated for being a Holocaust denier. Richard Williamson and three other men who were excommunicated in 1988 after being ordained without Vatican permission. The three had been appointed by breakaway French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Get ordained by a rogue Archbishop? You're out of here! Deny the slaughter of six million Jews? You're welcomed back with open arms! It's funny that just as the Vatican is trying to use YouTube to reach out to people, another video comes along showing the ugliness of some of the Church's decisions. Talk about "viral". Maybe in his Holiness's next video, he can pull a Chris Crocker and cry out "Leave Bishop Williamson alone!" |

Total duration 17 minutes:Top Ten Failures of Bushquote:The presidency of George W Bush is viewed by most Americans as an absolute failure. But in that failure, Bush actually succeeded in showing Americans that conservatism simply doesn't work. From their aggressive foreign policy and preemptive wars, to their no-regulation, no-tax, no-oversight economic policies, conservatism has failed at every given opportunity. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the many failures of Bush with Bernie Horn, a senior fellow with the Campaign for America's Future, and author of the book "Framing the Future: How Progressive Values Can Win Elections and Influence People."

Think about the internally inconsistent phrase "irreversible effects of climate change" to see the hoax that this is. Irreversible climate change? If not changing, climate would have little or no meaning. How can something that changes constantly by definition be irreversible? These are supposed to be scientists? When basic logic escapes them? |

Or, even worse, are they referring to the fact that the effect...like a tree being incinerated by fire, is irreversible? If that is the case, they are merely stating the very obvious without any implications that could possibly follow the assertion. Yet these are scientists? It is a good thing they aren't the same scientists responsible for technologic developments like aviation. |

Bruce Springsteen Suspended For Crotch Slidequote:An otherwise magnificent Super Bowl was marred by an ugly incident in the half time show as rocker Bruce Springsteen slid crotch-first into a cameraman. After assaulting the innocent cameraman, the malicious Springsteen can be seen, on video, laughing maniacally. Take a look.
quote:Shortly after the shameful incident, the Commissioner of Rock held a press conference denouncing Springsteen's actions. Take a look.
quote:As you heard in the video, the Commissioner has rightly suspended Springsteen for what was clearly an unsportsman-like crotch slide. And we, as Americans, should support his decision. Now I do not have any children, but, I can only imagine the horror and confusion that an impressionable young child must be going through after having Mr. Springsteen's pelvis slammed into their television screen. First it was Janet Jackson's nipple, and now this! I'm beginning to think that maybe we should just cancel the Super Bowl all together. |

White Noise - Crime Paysquote:The audio track was concocted within a week of the events but life being what happens while you are busy making other plans, I never got to whip up the video & eventually though it was passé & kinda forgot about it. But just like 9-11 changed everything, the subprime crime spree created havoc on the economy & keep on giving. After the illegal push for subprime deals Spitzer tried to halt, Wall Street upped the ante & sold these fraudulent turds for triple A gold investment to the unspected international finance community causing a worldwide catastrophe. As with the horrifying 8 years of abuse inflicted on America by the crime cartel we so-called the Bush executive branch, some brave souls tried to warn us to no avail. This is the story of some of those patriots who where mostly ignored, ridiculed or got their ass served by the GOPs Rove bots army. And to show them our eternal gratitude, we will, although under the gun & placed in front of a 'fait accompli', we are giving them the rest of our money & our children's & future generations too BRAVO ! "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." - Cicero, 42 B.C. Original info: http://www.gregpalast.com/elliot-spitzer-gets-nailed/ As for putting the same guys that caused the problem in place to organize the rescue The universally accepted definition of INSANITY is to persist in the same behavior but expecting a different outcome. "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." - Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941) US Supreme Court Justice THE GREATEST THEFT IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANKIND "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power of money should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- President Thomas Jefferson "It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford A banker is a man who loans you umbrellas when the sun is shining and demands it back the moment it looks like rain." - Mark Twain "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." - Groucho Marx Marxism we all can believe in ;) CITIZENS 2.0: PLAYERS NOT CHEERLEADERS! STOP JUDGING POLITICIANS ON WHAT THEY SAY BUT ON WHAT THEY DO!
