Random Thoughts: Balance, Math, and Batman

I hope they elect a renegade pope who doesn’t play by the rules.

Obama: “If I had a budget, it wouldn’t balance.”

I didn’t realize homeschooling is illegal in so many countries. We take so much of living in a free country for granted.

I thought a bunch of men sitting in a smoke-filled room is how the GOP picks a presidential candidate.

Pitch: Kid Pope

As long as Math keeps demanding extreme, unrealistic cuts to entitlements, no one is going to listen to it.

So instead of a “balanced approach,” Obama’s plan is more of a “never actually balance anything approach.”

Obama’s plan is increased taxes balanced with increased debt. Does he even understand what we’re trying to achieve here?

Banning handguns was a fairly mainstream view not that long ago. Did all those people really recant their positions and apologize?

If I become the GOP’s candidate for president in 2016, I promise to do all the debates in my best Batman voice.

Republicans are making themselves look foolish by acting like it’s possible to repeal a horribly unpopular law.

I’ve never had so much respect for my stupid as I do now seeing it hunt a mouse in our garage.

Need to take an idea for a short ebook I have and adapt it to being a full length print book. Not the worst problem I’ve ever had.

  1. “If I become the GOP’s candidate for president in 2016, I promise to do all the debates in my best Batman voice.”

    I say go with Adam West’s voice, and always address your opponent as “old chum”.

    Only your loyal followers will know that you’re not calling him your pal, you’re calling him stale shark bait.

  2. “I thought a bunch of men sitting in a smoke-filled room is how the GOP picks a presidential candidate.”

    No, it’s much simpler than that. You just take a number when you first get there and eventually your number comes up and it’s “Your turn.”

  3. I hope they elect a renegade pope who doesn’t play by the rules.

    Er… are you thinking of a Sons of Anarchy type pope who looks cool riding a Harley Electra Glide…or do you mean being pro-abortion, pro-sodomy, pro-damnation…and tossing aside the Catechism type pope?

    If the latter…sorry, we’re leaving all that to those Protestants who’ll let anything go and still try to slouch to the foot of the Cross.

    Though, there are a couple of cardinals who did a sort of sacerdotal Easy Rider just after they finished seminary school.

  4. Okay, sorry to inform you all of this, my children. But, I was just informed that I’m the new Pope. So, I won’t be able to post here as often. It is historic in that I will be the first Pope that happens to be a frog, and I am very proud of that. I will also be the first Pope that isn’t Catholic. So, I guess I’ve made history twice. My plans for the Catholic church going forward involve mak…what?…sorry, say that again?…Oh, I’m sorry. They said I was a dope, not Pope. That’s very different. So, forget all that other stuff about being historic. I guess I can stop packing. I’ll be here in the swamp if they change their minds.

  5. Steve H. says: Moderator – Please edit or dump #13 the anti-protestant troll. (Either that or educate her.)

    [cracks knuckles]

    Educate?!? As the product of Jesuitic and Dominican priory schooling…I think I’ve recieved a proper grounding in the fundamentals of my faith…and thusly am decidedly pro-Catholic.

    It is not the Catholic church which has compromised in the provision of same-sex unions. C of E (Anglican), Presbyterian, Universalist churches have. Additionally, compromises of faith concerning abortion along with other doctrinal vacillations are found in the various Protestant churches.

    These are facts.

    Oh…I had no idea my prose gave indication of gender specificity…perhaps I need to scratch and belch more and talk of how my sleeve length vastly exceeds my inseam while grabbing at my jock to provide indices of non-distaff indices for the likes of you.

    Also, as a Catholic, because I believe in expressing charity, permit me to clarify that A) I do not reside in a bunker, nor B) am I a Hatfield/McCoy descendant from the hills or hollows.

    I hope this helps you along should you feel the need for any ad hominem responses.

  6. Pope Francis I?

    As I recall, (mostly from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) there is no ‘J’ in Latin, so the letter ‘I’ is usually used in its place.
    Could it be Frank J. is now Pope?

  7. Pope Francis I?

    Yes…mirabile dictu…there is a Pope Frank.

    How Frank J. made it past the Jesuits is a puzzlement.

    Can the thunderous hoofbeats of four apocalyptic riders be far off?

  8. Papam Franciscus Primus-The verbal rendition of Pap. Franciscus I.

    Since I don’t believe the Romans went around saying “Pope Franciscus Eye“.

    His successor, should he take the same name, would be “Franciscus Secundus”.Or Tertius for the third, etc.

  9. Being just a voice in Frank’s head, this means I get to be part-time Pope.

    No…being a voice in the head of the Pontiff you would be exorcised.

    Thoroughly and completele driven out as a demonic presence.

    The pope is a Jesuit after all.
