God's Will?

2012-02-12T13:37:35Z

Another reason why Jesus
opposed organized religion....

   America’s Roman Catholic Bishops are outraged by the Obama Administration’s bid to require the nation’s employers to provide their workers with health care insurance that covers the cost of birth control pills and other devices.
    The problem?
    Roman Catholic doctrine considers birth control contrary to the “will of God.”
    Based on this belief, the Bishops insist Roman Catholic institutions ranging from Universities (like Notre Dame) to Hospitals (like Fort Lauderdale’s Holy Cross) should be free to continue their practice of NOT providing any health care insurance that covers the cost of contraception for any employee – be they Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, Druid, or atheist.
   Anyhow…
   All this suggests the need for a brief compendium of the various people, places and things the Roman Catholic church has considered to be against God’s will at one time or another.
Bathing.
  Reading the Bible.
Sex before marriage.
Questioning the Bible.
Pants on women.
Questioning the “Church.”
Protestants.
Lending money.
Sex for pleasure.
Challenging the “divine right” of Kings and other nobility.
Muslims.
Believing the earth circles the sun.
Eating with a fork instead of your fingers .
Witches.
Wearing a wig.
   Impure thoughts.
   Attending a non-Catholic religious service.
   Eating meat on Friday.
   Masturbation.
   Jews.
Playboy magazine.
   And so on….

So....

Cash, Flash and Trash

   Fort Lauderdale
Nouveau Riche?

    Fuck Yeh!

    Sex , status, or sunshine – everything’s for sale in Fort Lauderdale.
   All it takes is tons of money.
   And it doesn’t matter if it’s yours or theirs.
   Because nobody’s gonna ask.
   Fact is, you can be serious trash with no class -- so long as your cash makes a splash on the Society pages.
   That’s right.
   Fort Lauderdale boasts a number of Society pages staffed by young women dedicated to capturing the spirit of grotesque materialism, garish glitz and conspicuous consumption.
   Which is how and why “society” in Fort Lauderdale is synonymous with pretension.
   Plus how high you’re willing to go with your “buy in.”

Hooters & Spoilers

2012-01-27T21:47:21Z

     When it comes to male American icons, the milk glands of homo sapien females rank right up there with erectile dysfunction and the Super Bowl.
    However…
    Few, if any American males, have a clue as to the reason for their strong interest in the size of a woman’s breasts.
    Nor are they aware of the powerful role female breasts have played in cultures dating all the way back to the Ice Age some 30,000 years ago (see Venus of Willendorf).
    The latest current theories suggest the dynamics of male's attraction to female milk glands are the result of  nature over nurture via a combination of:
  (1) Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Procreation)
    (2) Evolution (Big boobs good for babies)
    Certainly this thesis is supported by the fact that males among higher apes are virtually indifferent to the milk glands of their female counterparts.
    But as to why millions of homo sapien females feel the need to undergo both the considerable cost and physical pain involved in the surgical enlargement of their mammary glands….?
    Personally, my bet is we’re probably talking acculturation here.
    Especially since surgically enlarged milk glands on a 21st century American female make as much sense as racing spoilers on a four-door Dodge Neon sedan (see illustration below).
   Anyhow….

Metaphor du Jour

2012-01-26T15:35:39Z

     Here's why my computer is dumber than my cell phone...
     First, while I am on Central Time while visiting my daughter in Minnesota, my computer – unlike my cell phone – remains locked on Eastern Standard Time where the device normally resides in South Florida.
     In other words, while my cell phone always seems to know where it is, my computer hasn’t a clue.
     Then, for reasons I’m unable to fathom,-- each time I check my ATT email -- my computer insists on providing me with the current weather in Sunnyvale, California where it is currently 55 degrees while the temp here in Minnesota is in the low 20’s.
      All of which is clearly some kind of metaphor for life in the 21^st century.
      Stay tuned.
