Proxy Baptism And The Early Church
Posted on 04. Mar, 2012 by Alex Sharp in Current Events, History
This Sunday the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints made a point of admonishing its members to respect the rules concerning their ritual of baptizing the deceased. This is the practice wherein a member of the Mormon Church receives the sacrament of baptism on behalf of a dead person with a direct blood [...]
Emanuel And Daley Agree On One Thing, At Least
Posted on 02. Mar, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
In his less than a year in office, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has done a lot to move himself out of the shadow of his predecessor, Richard M. Daley. Emanuel’s administration is much more concerned with wooing TV and print media than his predecessor. Daley was notoriously gruff when it came to dealing with reporters. [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: William Beavers
Posted on 26. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
This week’s twit has famously referred to himself as an even-toed unglate with abnormally-large external genitalia. Machine Democrats everywhere should be quaking in their boots as the Federal government’s IRS nutcracker tries to prove that it is up to the task of crushing the gargantuan gonads of a big hog like: William Beavers “Horseshit.” This [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: George Cardenas
Posted on 17. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
This week’s Twit is a local yokel who believes his “part-time” job as a Chicago alderman gives him the right to tax Chicago citizens into oblivion for buying bottled water and Slurpees, all while filling his (and his family’s) own pockets. Get ready to vicariously live the Chicago (but not the American) Dream through the [...]
Halal Cyber Censorship
Posted on 11. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
The Iranian government, which has been lovingly lambasted repeatedly by yours truly in the past, made news again the last few days. The Ayatollah’s lackeys, no doubt upon the order of their theocratic puppet master, have essentially made it impossible for people within Iran to access SSL/TLS websites (basically any site that uses https instead [...]
Should The Big G Be Your Sugar Daddy?
Posted on 04. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Sweet, sweet sucrose-injected, fructose-laced damnation awaits us all, at least according to a recent article in Nature magazine. Three researchers in California have produced a report that shows the toxic danger of sugar, eventually going on to suggest that it should be regulated by federal governments as a controlled substance. I would like to sidestep [...]
Romney Gets Trumped
Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
After much hemming and hawing, The Donald has finally (hopefully?) decided not to throw his hat into the 2012 Presidential race and support one of the four remaining Republican candidates. Speculation was swirling around who exactly Trump would endorse for the Republican nomination. Wednesday the rumor mill was flooded with reports that Newt Gingrich would [...]
Roman Catholic Holy Orders Destroying Society, Says Pope
Posted on 18. Jan, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
Every now and then Pope Benedict XVI trots out in front of the cameras and makes the silly, silly mistake of speaking his mind. This has a whole mountain of horrible consequences, as the Roman Catholic Church’s positions on many social and moral issues are so reprehensibly stupid and pig-headed that pretty much anyone with [...]
An Unfair Attack By Judge Jill Cerone Marisie
Posted on 16. Jan, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Organized Crime
Since the days of Capone, Cook County’s historical status as a corrupt institution has been common knowledge the world over. In the years since prohibition, the federal government has waged an ongoing war against the Italian-American mafia, and it might seem that this once powerful underworld agency is dead or dying. With this in mind, [...]
Obama And The Daleys
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
The Obama White House has occasionally been refereed to as the 51st Ward, a fictitious (and evidently far flung) section of the Chicago political map. While this dubious honor probably was not meant to paint the White House as beholden to the political masters of Chicago, it does speak to the mentality and methodology of [...]
