Religious Statues Left Behind Find Their Own Patron Saint - NYTimes.com

Religious Statues Left Behind Find Their Own Patron Saint - NYTimes.com:

 "“I just got her a month ago,” Lou McClung says, as he dabs a paintbrush to a faded life-size statue of the patron saint of those who work in explosives. Nearby, a tired St. Anthony of Padua, patron of lost things, awaits his own appointment, as does a worn St. Rose of Lima, once known for her beauty but now, in the estimation of Mr. McClung, “a big hot mess."

"Comic Book Hoarders
BY FRANK SANTORO MAR 4, 2012


Unpacked one of my comic book boxes from tour. Some of these I bought in Portland, some I got in Vancouver. Whether traded for, purchased or stolen from friends when they weren’t looking – I gotta thank Zack Soto, Jason Levain, Robin McConnell and Brandon Graham for helping me with my habit."

==================O=============================

looking through this batch of comicbook covers is like an episode of THIS IS YOUR LIFE, ED.  i remember many of these. i'm not certain that i agree with certain of Frank Santoro's quips, but hey, G-D made the rainbow so that we could each have a choice in wardrobe coordination.

 a case in point is HERBIE. granted, my take on this character's various series
 is tainted by nostalgia and my own recollections on prepubescent fatdom, but can anyone that's read the series argue against it's being one of the most original, fun and downright strangest comicbooks ever printed?

okay, there's MeatHaus. but Frank doesn't categorize these as crap, does he?


Charlton Comic's Jungle Jim #27 has to be one of the worst Steranko covers ever.
side by side with Jeff Jone's  FORBIDDEN LOVE (a poor man's Bernie Wrightson?)
okay nthat wasn't fair, but tell me that you didn't think of that angle yourself.

there's a few of these that i'm not familiar with/do not own. if i were to
 get my choice of one of these based on the cover alone i would opt for
 HERO COMICS from ACQ. c'mon that SM cover tingles the nether regions, does it not?

overall pick?
 sorry, but i gotta go back  for the FAT FURY, HERBIE #1!
love that plunger on the head. :-)

==============================O=================================


Old Fart Football
An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, ‘Seven Points.'

His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?'
The old man replied, 'its fart football.'

A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says,‘Touchdown, tie score...'

After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says,
'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says,
'Touchdown, tie score.'

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says,
'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on the old man.

He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally craps in the bed.

The wife says, 'What the hell was that?'

The old man says, 'Half time, switch sides






{If you don't laugh at this one, then you've got a terrible sense of humor!}

Santorum Makes Case for Religion in Public Sphere - NYTimes.com:

"In an escalation of the sometimes fiery language that he has used throughout the race, Mr. Santorum declared that colleges were no longer a “neutral setting” for people of faith and described how he had become sickened after reading John F. Kennedy’s 1960 speech calling for the rigid separation of religion and politics"



“What kind of country do we live in that says only people of nonfaith can come into the public square and make their case?” Mr. Santorum said on the ABC News program “This Week.”
“That makes me throw up,” he said, adding later, “I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.”

Goodreads | O'Dasor De (New York, NY)'s review of Ball Peen Hammer: "Ball Peen HammerBall Peen Hammer by Adam Rapp

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


i could say that this is not a "feel-good" read; but

it's not that simple, and this is what makes this such a satisfying read.



its the sort of story that once you get past the feeling of how much life sucks, you spend the next several days awed by what a helluva blowjob life can be. pardon the salt. its that good.



this is to graphic novels what the Twilight Zone was to TV: short, well portrayed pop-morality plays for the Atomic Age.

St. Longinus  1st Century Martyr - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online:















"St. Longinus
1st Century Martyr"

St. Longinus is the centurion who pierced the side of Our Lord while He was hanging on the Cross. St. Longinus, who was nearly blind, was healed when some of the blood and water from Jesus fell into his eyes. It was then he exclaimed "Indeed, this was the Son of God!" [Mark 15:39]. St. Longinus then converted, Left the army, took instruction from theapostles and became a monk in Cappadocia. There he was arrested for his faith, his teeth forced out and tongue cut off. However, St. Longinus miraculously continued to speak clearly and managed to destroy several idols in the presence of the governor. The governor, who was made blind by the demons that came from the idols, had his sight restored when St. Longinus was being beheaded, because his blood came in contact with the governors' eyes. St. Longinus' relics are now in the church of St Augustine, in Rome. His Lance is contained in one of the four pillars over the altar in the Basilica of St Peter's in Rome.

Rick Santorum and the dog that had an accident - Election 2012 - The Washington Post

Image via Wikipedia
Rick Santorum and the dog that had an accident - Election 2012 - The Washington Post:

"For Barack Obama in 2008, it was the long-and-winding story of how he came to meet Edith Childs, the little old lady from Greenwood, S.C., who coined the “Fired up! Ready to go!” chant.

For Mitt Romney, it’s the childhood tale of how his parents packed the family into a Rambler station wagon and drove from state to state, visiting national parks.

And for former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), the yarn involves a famous Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, a little old lady —and a dog that had an accident on Santorum’s lap" . . .

Unequal Rites -- In These Times

Unequal Rites -- In These Times:



So to be clear, this is a situation where the federal government dictates who may or may not belong to a particular religion based on race.

And not race alone: Race (Native American blood) and political affiliation (federally recognized tribe) are the two criteria.
It strains credulity to believe that Americans would accept this arrangement if it were applied to mainstream religion.
Take a moment to imagine the blood of Christ being limited only to Italians and those church members able to prove
a blood quantum of Italian heritage in order to partake of the sacrament
–with the U.S. government standing at the ready should anyone step out of line.

The Arrogance of Authority

The Arrogance of Authority

A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old rancher.
He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."
The rancher said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....," as he pointed out the location. "

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me
!"

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher.

"See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land !!
No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear......do you understand ?!!"

The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull....






With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....

(I just love this part....)

"Your badge, show him your BADGE........ !!"
