introducing Poop Check

The time has come for me to face reality.
Although all St. Blog's parishioners use American English creatively, the psychotherapist is in a class by himself.
Therefore, this new feature is dedicated to the maximum leader of HMS Blog.
Long may he rain! reign!

"PATRICK MADRID--AKA THE SPANIARD--WELCOME ME" (Is English his second language?)
"... Oh great and exalted Emily, are more knoweldgeable or righteously conservative than Dubya?" (How's Dubya's spelling?)
"Appropos of my question to Woodeene about the general uselessness of the Democratic party ..."
"I am sick of feeling like a second class citizen because I have religious beliefs."
"Cleary, these cultures are not concerned with protecting women ..." (That wasn't clear to me.)
"... they are most interested in protecting men from the percieved sexual wiles, power and impurity of women. "
"... the New York Times piece I refered to earlier."
"... Oprah magazine discusses cases of 11 year old girls performing fellation on school busses." (NO COMMENT!)

"Only five percent of the population identitfies itself as non-believing ..."
"... I don't remember that Francis De Sales story making it into the first Loyoal Kids Book of the Saints." (Neither do I.)
"... back to regular friday blogging (i.e., brisk pace, but somwhat fewer posts over all.)" ("Regular" is a subjective term.)
"I'm getting more manly just thinking about chooping wood. Everbody now!"
"And a follow-up question, why haven't we been pusuing those lines of accountability?" (*shrug*)

 
a couple of dull spots on the ragged edge

It's been a while, but here's another one for Gerard's list.

"Conservativism in a political sense simply means that people who earn the money should be entitled to more of it ..."
"... it's goal is not to please as many people as possible. It's mandate is to follow God's laws and guard the faithful."

 
En garde, Envoy!

The denizens of this new blog should forget about the revolution and watch their language.

"Euthenasia had not yet become a political issue, and none of the candidates were looking to legalize it."

"First, I can sympathize with you vis-a-vis your dad's belt preventing you from engaging in youthful indescretions."
"... kinda like the subtle difference between Jimmy Swaggert and Benny Hinn ..."
"Again, I am stupified." (You certainly are.)

 
Links Lojinks X

Kind soul that he is, the psychotherapist has initiated an "adopt an atheist" program.

Unfortunately, his attempts to link to email addresses looked like http://JMRichendollar@comcast.net/.

The correct form is mailto:JMRichendollar@comcast.net.
