President Obama Lectures Wall Street. My Lecture on Symbolic Expression.
President Obama’s statements at a press conference yesterday lecturing Wall Street does not help the economic crisis. By chastising bank executives for their billions of dollars in bonuses they paid themselves only months after the federal bailout, however, Obama points out to America how out of touch Wall Street is with the rest of the [...]
Scam Lotteries. I’m Rich! I’m Rich! I’m Stinking Filthy Rich!
This morning I won 2,500,000 pounds sterling from the United Kingdom National Lottery! Five times! I have five separate reference numbers so that I can quickly claim each of my winnings in lump sums!
But wait. Last week I won 1,750,000 US Dollars from the Ugandan Scholastic Lottery. THREE times! And I have three separate reference [...]
THE END OF BUSH-CHENEY REIGN OF TERROR ! !
OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
The Bush-Cheney Reign of Terror has come to an end!
It is time to renew, rebuild and to reinvent.

It is time to put the resources, the equality, the opportunity and [...]
Lawsuit Against the Vatican. Child Abuse Cover UP and Vows of Silence.
A couple of months ago, a United States appeals court ruled that the Vatican can be sued for the sexual abuse committed by priests in the United States.
Trying to block the class action lawsuit, the Vatican argued that it was protected by laws granting sovereign states immunity from almost all US civil proceedings. The [...]
The Vatican and Homosexuality: an Idiotic Report on Clergy Abuse in the Catholic Church
In response to the clergy abuse scandal, a Vatican office that evaluated U.S. Roman Catholic seminaries concluded today that school administrators have been effective in stopping “homosexual behavior.” But the agency claimed that the “problem” still exists.
Giving special attention to teachings on chastity and celibacy, The Congregation for Catholic Education broadly reviewed how schools [...]
Muriel Spark’s, The Comforters. A Postmodern Religious Fable.
In 1955, Muriel Spark wrote her first novel The Comforters reluctantly. She believed that novels are low forms of representation.
I was asked to write a novel, and I didn’t think much of novels—I thought it was an inferior way of writing. So I wrote a novel to work out the technique [...]
CLERGY ABUSE VICTIMS, CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT:Denying Big Dirty Realities.
So, after over twenty years of putting virtually nothing down on paper about my ten years of abuse at the hands of a pedophile priest, I have composed several short blogs concerning the experience. I have spent nearly everyday of my life dedicated to writing, and it has taken a blog site for me to [...]
CLERGY ABUSE AND NEW YEARS: Endings and Beginnings.
I received immense response from my last few posts. The pain, anger, frustration and confusion is apparent. When we spend the last day of a year, we often like to feel a sense closure while we anticipate a new year. But I have never understood nor have I ever felt “closure.” I’m not sure what [...]
I’m As Mad As Hell, And I’m Not Going To Take This Anymore!
In the 1976 movie Network, Howard Beale (Peter Finch), a seasoned anchorman on a failing network news program, UBS, learns he will be let go in two weeks, so he goes on the air to announce his plan to commit suicide. Fittingly, the network’s ratings soar, and UBS keeps him on the air, profiting from [...]
CLERGY ABUSE AND CHRISTMAS PART III
I apologize. For the past couple days since my last post, I’ve had a bug, so I haven’t had the opportunity to stay on top of all the comments I have received.
Before posting the first piece on clergy abuse victims and Christmas, I felt a great deal of trepidation. But now I am glad that [...]
