The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL!

    For your penance say three Our Fathers and drink three Bloody Marys!(Conspiracy of Silence)

    Former Vice President Dick Cheney has confessed to changing the CIA’s accurate information on Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction for political reasons.

    You start out with the truth as reported by the intelligence community, and then you turn it into a total distortion once the political types in the White House and some senior folks at the State Department get their hands on it

    We all sin from time to time.

    For instance, I have been guilty of sloth for more than awhile.

    And this is one of the Seven Deadly Sins!

    On the other hand, Hippocrates instructed us that first we must do no harm.

    But I do admit to taking $16.00 in food stamps every month. I suppose this damages the over all economy but then again, coffee has become extremely expensive!

    So I have confessed; although my rent is $150/month below market value!

    Anyhow, that is my confession.

    But for Dick Cheney to admit this incredible sin or these incredible sins related to his Administration is beyond belief!

    I already had the opportunity to comment on one of the greatest American philosophers alive today; Wayne LaPierre.

    "The truth is that our society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters, people that are so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can ever possibly comprehend them," he said. "They walk among us every single day.

    ALRIGHTY THEN!

    For Wayne to admit what a horrible creature he is, for Wayne to admit all the damage he has done to this society, for Wayne to finally admit that has been driven by demons; well that is a wonder!

    (Like The Price Is Right asks us to do every damn day: Neuter your children before it is too damn late. )

    LK:My background is quantum computing. Measurement is problematic for a quantum computer, because observation changes the quantum state. But if you don't have an apparatus that can measure a Majorana fermion, you cannot change it. Its insensitivity makes it a robust quantum state. This could lead toward qubits that do not collapse. Usually everything dies, but these would be very robust and could live for a long time.

    LK:The information is stored in a topological number. It's like in a Möbius ring: There is just one twist. You can deform the ring, but it doesn't change the twist number. If the twist number is the code for information, that's a very robust way of encoding.

    The only reason I put this quote on this post is to underline how sorry I am that I am so very stupid. I really have no idea whatsoever LK is talking about!

    I mean he could have written this in Farsi and it would not help me a whit!

    Rev. [Charles Wallace] Smith must not have understood the 3/5ths clause was an anti-slavery amendment. Its purpose was to limit the voting power of slave holding states,” Jackson, an African-American, said in his statement.

    Here we go again. Another African-American repub who admits that it was his ancestors' fault that they were slaves!

    Finally, we all need to pray. I mean prayer can mean anything.

    And what harm could prayer ever do?

    LET US PREY

    Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) this week said that prayers to God will ensure Obamacare’s repeal, after 37 House of Representatives attempts to do so.

    I think the President will ultimately be forced to repudiate his own signature piece of legislation because the American people will demand it,” she toldan evangelical radio host Tuesday. “And I think before his second term is over, we’re going to see a miracle before our eyes, I believe God is going to answer our prayers and we’ll be freed from the yoke of obamacare."

    Michele Bachmann is truly a phenomenon.

    Michele, my belle is doing what we rarely see in politics. She is asking us all to pray that potential health recipients die without adequate medical help.

    Following our true confessions we must always pray.

    I would add my own prayers; prayers that we here at Dagblog could say together for the betterment of our world:

    I ask that the Good Lord cause there to be a short circuit in the mechanism keeping Dick Cheney alive!

    I ask that the Good Lord to cause the permanent use of the vocal chords for anyone celebrating slavery to be excised.

    I ask the Good Lord to strike down any pretended Christian who uses His Name in vain whilst calling for the death of the dispossessed.

    I ask the Good Lord to turn all arms manufacturers into dust because from dust we came and from dust we shall return; I just pray that the preyers return to dust a little sooner.

    The ultimate response to any confession has to be:

    Say four Our Fathers and quickly find four Bloody Mary's.

    Seeing as you're not eligible to award yourself the Dayly Line, may I do the honors?

    Superb.


    The audience applauds the recognition given to you by the top man himself.


    Boy, I tell ya Resistance, I needed some recognition today!


    I would have been here earlier, but I was defending myself from folks who apparently have had their brains sucked out. Bachman isnt the only face of their kind. They're all around us; many of them reside in DC and many of them have a propensity to frequent social media sites, preying on others. I thank you for your service, in helping to recognize some of the buggers


    Well you made my day!

    That's for sure!

    Irony? The Mayo Clinic is literally a hop skip and a jump from Bachmann's Congressional District.

    Aint that something?


    Michelle my belle is on the endangered House list.  Her numbers are not as good as Obama's.  Maybe she needs to pray for her own miracle.  LOL Fun read. 


    Thanks Momoe!

    A lot of 'moderate repubs' in her district.

    And they are becoming embarrassed!

    Thank the Good Lord!


    As you may remember Arthur of the Round my husband works for the feds, during the Bush years he did ask a conservative lunatic once if he should just pray for answers rather than bother to use his scanning electron microscope.   Hahahaha we still laugh about that one.  Oh nice blog!!!!


    Hey Mac!

    Thanks much!


    Yes, superb.  You're in fine form, Richard.  I love it when you get angry.

    (The Cheney quote is incredible.  He is so full of himself he hasn't a clue about how he's seen on the outside.  And, of course, nobody is going to tell him.  If I prayed, I would pray that he never be allowed to forget what he said in that quote.)


    We all know that dicky is not stupid.

    We all know that dicky made a google of bucks from the 'incursions'. 

    We should all know that dicky has hid many hundreds of millions in off shore coffers.

    He shall never forget.

    And a number of us MUST NEVER FORGET.

    the end.

    hahaha
