'The Chart Du jour' ?

Maybe a stroke, so you can linger a while. Or a particularly nasty cancer.

That's exactly what I'd expect from a perma-angry, sixty-something man that would actually pay money to attend a concert by Sleater-Kinney, feasting on the nihilism of such deep and meaningful lyrics as these:

"A New Wave"

Well every day I throw a little party
But if it would be more fitting, fitting
And every time I come a little higher
Should I leap or go on living, living?
Hear the voices venomous and thrilling
In their hair, they're always calling, calling
But I wanna, gotta go the way my butt beats
So I'm not falling for the folly, folly

No one here is taking notice
No outline will ever hold us
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
Eyes are the only witness
Die to prove we ever lived this
Invent our own kind of obscurity ...


You curse - I'll bless, and continue to pray that you don't depart this life while in such a state of disposition.

That's exactly what I'd expect...

I don't know Raz. I'm thinking that for a guy like you, with your past, the only thing scarier than there being no God, no salvation, no theosis, is that there is and that the choices you made will keep you in the darkness forever.

Bet that motivates you, don't it? Those last moments, thinking about every transgression you ever made, every sin you reveled in, every lie you told, every coin you stole, every woman you took, every time hate swam in your heart.

And that one special time. You remember that one? The one you promised yourself no one would ever know about?

I think you need to pray harder, old man.

I had no idea that you were a staretz. What exactly is "my past"?
And what motivates you?

(BTW, if there is no God then at physical death there is nothing - only non-existence, and neither of us will know anything.
But if there is, then both of us will be shown EVERYTHING about every moment of our life here, and only if we have come entirely clean by confession AND repentance in this life will we have reason to hope for His acceptance.)

If you read nothing else for the remainder of your life - get this book and read every single page of it - more than once.

Sleep tight, Raz. Tonight could be your big chance to find out for sure. I'd wish you good luck, but...

Re: 'The Chart Du jour' ?

Because he isn't really saying anything. ...That's all that link says. Obama just happened to work at a place where someone else worked (at some time) and that someone else knew someone (at some time) who did something bad (at some time). SO WHAT?

uh huh... so what?
do you really think he would've been nominated in 08 - never mind elected (and relected? fuhgetabout it) - had any of that stuff been critically examined by the OH SO BIASED lamerstream media?

and i guess it all depends upon ones own bias whether or not most of that stuff matters or not - esp concerning the others involved.

my obs is that its a whos who list of demorat party apparatchix (esp in the CHI area) and and just so happens to illustrate purrrfectly the corruption that runs from the highest reaches of the admin and how absolutely corrupt their enablers within the lamerstream media are, that NONE of it was barely even commented on during 2008&12

again - 'the appearance of corruption is as damaging as the actual corruption' - and its right there with the statement in 2012,
'from 40,000 feet, that some of the most damaging behavior on Wall Street, in some cases, some of the least ethical behavior on Wall Street, wasn't illegal."

methinks our buddy matt has quite a different take on it - never mind who just happens to be asking the questions here:

AMY GOODMAN: As you were tweeting your criticism yesterday, a lot of Obama supporters were also on social media pushing the line that Holder did not send anyone to jail because there were no laws broken.


MATT TAIBBI: Right, yeah, and this is—this comes, I think, directly from something that Barack Obama himself said on 60 Minutes once. He said some of the worst behavior on Wall Street was not illegal, some of the least ethical behavior was not illegal. But he crafted that phrase very carefully. He didn’t say all of it was not illegal. He said some of the worst behavior, and that’s true. But some of it was very illegal.

And again, just to go back to some of the worst cases, HSBC admitted to laundering $880 million for a pair of Central and South American drug cartels, including the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is infamous all over the world for these torture videos. So, we have HSBC, Europe’s largest bank, is washing hundreds of millions of dollars for people who chop people’s heads off with chainsaws. That’s a crime. I mean, there’s no—that’s the worst crime that a bank can possibly commit. And anybody who thinks that Holder didn’t send people to jail because they didn’t commit crimes is not really paying attention to what went on during this time.
AMY GOODMAN: Also at Covington & Burling, Eric Holder will be reunited with Lanny Breuer. Explain who he was and the significance of them together.
MATT TAIBBI: Well, Lanny Breuer worked at Covington & Burling along with Eric Holder. He went to Holder to become his deputy for the early part of his tenure as attorney general. He was the head of the Criminal Division. Lanny, from the sources that I spoke to while I was researching all this material, was terrified of going to court when he didn’t have an absolute, guaranteed, sure victory. And so, what happened very early in their tenure together was that they did take one case to trial. They went to trial against a pair of guys from Bear Stearns who were accused of defrauding their clients. And they lost. It ended in an acquittal, even though they had very solid documentary evidence. From that point forward, they didn’t take anybody to court. And all of these cases involving all of these banks, they went the settlement route instead, presumably because they were afraid of going into a courtroom. They were worried that juries didn’t understand this material. They were worried that it was too complicated. And so, rather than risk losing and getting a bad headline, they let off all of these people who had done very, very bad things, and so we have this legacy of cash instead of punishment.

which didnt amount to even 10% of 'the profits' they raked in during the biggest organized crime heist in history

but hey - i guess in retrospect all that other stuff is all just happenstance and irrelevant hype from a 'conservative crusader' - right?

riiiiight....
