How about a little light entertainment? It’s summer, and time for a break.
(Unless you are a congressman, in which case Speaker Pelosi won’t allow a vacation from bankrupting our country. Poor Congress!)
Hope and Changery inspired me to surf YouTube’s whole genre of military music videos.
My favorite by far is Pump It, by VAW-116 Sun Kings back in 2006. With my own husband on a carrier right now, perhaps I am biased. The editing is far superior to the rest, but I do realize that the folks filming in the desert don’t have equal access to technology. Or time.
Just a quick post. Hubby is on the boat again. He says several weeks of sobriety is known as “rehab“ to Hollywood types, and they pay high dollar for it. Sailors, on the other hand, call it a work-up, and hey: at least they are paid for it.
I posted back in June about that proselytizing train wreck of a House Speaker we have. Turns out somebody followed up on that whole “Word” thing. Disrupt the Narrative treats us to the latest chuckle, via Allahpundit:
“What do you get when you mix a radically pro-choice politician with Catholic doctrine that teaches that life is sacred, and a reporter who’s not afraid to ask a tough question?
A whole bunch of awesome.”
Ha ha ha. I’m not sure which is more awesome: the awesomeness of Pelosi’s incoherent and incompatible views, or blogger Smithee’s awesomely awesome one-liner.
P.S. Dear Speaker Pelosi, if you really believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, then the correct answer is: life begins at conception.
The answer, “whenever it was, we bow are heads when we talk about it in church, and that is where I’d like to talk about that,” is incorrect.
I saw this clip on O’Reilly tonight and wanted to share Nancy Pelosi’s message on the Gospel:
“They ask me all the time, what’s your favorite this, what is your favorite that, what is your favorite that . . . [mumble] . . . and one time, what is your favorite word? And I said, my favorite word, that is really easy. My favorite word, is the Word. Is the Word. And that is everything; it says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference; you know the Gospel reference of the Word, and uh, that . . . word is uh, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of uh, public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? Just covers everything. The Word [chuckle]. Fill it in with anything you want but of course we know it means, uh, the Word was made flesh, and dwelt amongst us, and that’s the uh, great mystery of our faith, where, it will come again, it will come again. So we have to make sure we’re prepared to answer, in this life or otherwise, as to uh, how we have uh, measured up.”
It’s actually worse when you watch it. I know, I know, you wouldn’t think it possible. But it is even worse on video. She looks and sounds so uncomfortable. Towards the end, her lips seem to resist forming the words. Like Squidward trying to say “Sorry” to Spongebob.
It was a short message, but she still managed to squeeze in a fat fallacy: “fill it [the Word of God] in with whatever you want.” Also a bonus allusion to social justice, with that “public policy” bit.
I need a little real Scripture after listening to that proselytizing train wreck. I’ll leave you with the Gospel according to John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made though Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
