Told ya.

I love the second friar on the right side…!

Awesome video. Thanks, Elliott.

Speaking of vows of silence.

happy holidays! seasons greetings!

With that said, and in the spirit of the day, I have to give credit where credit is due and thank shrub for doing quite possibly the first and only decent he’s done in 8 years: taking the unprecedented step of revoking an executive pardon he granted earlier in the week to rethug contributor Robert Toussie, apparently after the Newsday broke a story linking him financially to the rethug party.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200….._mistake_9

Toussie’s scum. There’s no other way to describe him. He conned the poor and elderly into buying overpriced homes using mortgages he obtaind from them under fraudulent pretenses, on terms that were designed to destroy his hapless clients.

So thanks shrub. Late as usual, and only after the press was about to embarass you over it, but thanks anyway, for doing this one decent thing.

for doing this one decent thing.

Well, damn! There goes that legacy thing. Had a perfect record up until now.

All I want for Christmas is one-way tickets to the Hague for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Gonzales, Rice, and the rest.

Oh thank you Elliott!

Evening all.

Nice, Elliott!
jayt – where you been, son?

Merry Christmas and the Happiest of Holidays!1!

Busy, busy, busy.

Happy Holidays all!

We’ll worry about that later – still up in the air.

ahh, jayt, who isn’t?
Hope your ankle swelling has subsided and the junior unit is still doing well.

I just sent your video to the parents.

It’ll be my surprise for them tomorrow!

Hope they laugh and laugh

Merry Christmas, Suze!

Any of the family around for the holidays?

i’m solo this year pups

Me, too. Going cross country skiing in the morning. We have a foot of good powder and more coming over night and tomorrow morning (as well as everyday through New Years).

Merry Christmas, Suzanne. You certainly have a beautiful place to celebrate it!

ellie – that is the funniest video i’ve seen this season.

thanks for sharing it

As your attorney, I would advise that you begin drinking heavily.

(I seem to give that advice a lot)

I’ll drink to that. *clink*

Catholic church has the biggest spy apparatus in the world. More child molestation and gener abuse too. No abortions cause we gotta send em all to hell. Lovely just lovely. How many diaoceses are being sued and convicted? HGows about extermination of native americans or enslavement of them? I am calling BS.

clinkity clink to all!

Idealogues…wasn’t that what we have been discussing as the problem not the solution, Holy shit.

A mundane example of RC profiteering. I have been told (no links, but my source usually is reliable) that Toll Bros., very RC, made a lot of money by taking property off RC hands when they needed to liquidate it to pay off sex abuse lawsuits.

ian up at the mothership

Oh, geez, Rick Warren at some Muslim event. Is there no group that will not stoop so low? First Obama, then MLK, now the Muslims. Talk about making a conman into a national hero.
(Disclosure: my son’s email address is cahnman)

Off to bed for me. May the elves be good to you in the morning.

“Monks under vow of silence perform Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus”

How?

press play

How about the modern day Crusades compared to the Crusades of the Catholic Cgurch against the Muslims. Or Hows about the Spanish Inquisitions. Or the Protestant/puritan witch hunts. How about some good ol gays are sinners they are headed to hell? Unless of course they repent and go straighr. Remember they cosponsored prop 8.
Shortest memories on the planet right here on FDL. Who woulda thunk?

decaf. and soon.
Remember us? Not.The.Enemy.

Newt are you catholic?

I am not.

Number one:
The enemy is the concepts. Catholic church is anti gay? Definitely pro prop 8. What am I supposed to hush about? Care to respond?
Without self scrutiny there is no progress my progressive friends.

One of my cherished opines: is religion is the opiate of the masses.
Does that make me a pinko commie. Wher art thou McCarthy when we need you?
If you all can have your religious opines as was discussed last night I may have mine. The Kennedy Speech that was posted by a devout Catholic Nahant.

BB, first – this is whack.

In another thread I was visiting a few minutes ago, in comment #19, you said the following:

Religion is based on faith, science is based on proven fact, hypothesis and theory.
Religions are an authoritarian scam that when getting power over government create chaos.They all claim to be the One religion. We have just witnessed 8 years of devastaion and destruction of Iraq, the global economy and the retirement safety net for the elderly and sick.

I am not religious, but you went to the outrageous extreme of punishing every religious person on the planet, as none are exempt from the curse of their extremist cousins. This is shockingly simplistic, not much more intellectually rigorous than Goopers who equate Democrats with Marxists, or Christopaths who equate Muslims with Al Queda.

Your wisdom informs you that everyone who has any religious sense is no less captured, no less evil than those who use religion as a public policy sledge, or as a Jihadist tenet. Nice. Welcome to the Republican Party, dude, because you are following their playbook.

I know a bunch of religious people, some of them from here. And their humanity is a whole lot more penetrating than your dismissive rant against them. Not all folks who subscribe are radicals like those who lit the planet on fire. In fact, very few are.

Just one more thing – your golden path to enlightenment does not seem to include any room for differing opinions. So if you’re just pissed at the world, or the Holidays are you blue time like they are mine, then fine.
But DO NOT EVER lump me in with any religious group. Ever. Facts seriously not in evidence.

Tres Pythonesque!

Buy yourself a sense of humor for Christmas. Or ask Santa to deliver you one.

The Kennedy Speech that was posted by a devout Catholic Nahant.??? WTF ya talikng about!!

Coming into this thread very late, but just want to say thanks, Elliot, for this way-funny youtube!
