  1. I'm not really sure how I feel about this. My first impression was,  "What a pile of manipulative male bovine excrement!" 

    But got to thinking about "victim impact statements" in general. 

    How is it significantly different than momma standing there wailing and weeping about her poor baby who never did any harm or got in any trouble,  and that he was a good boy turning his life around.   That all he was doing was collecting for the Orphans Fund at the homeless shelter.   His doing it at gunpoint didn't give anyone the right to shoot him?"    Same appeal to emotions, just a different medium.

    Wow!! 🤩 I would think that would be some kind of an interference call. Maybe call the ball dead? Hmm….interesting to say the least!

     

     

    That was my initial reaction, but it's not really any different than if it bounced off an umpire,  or off the rubber on the mound.

    Withholding judgement until we see what he advocates.  If he focuses on return to scripture and cleaning house, then I'm all for it.  If he starts getting into politics and neglects his duties as CEO of the Church, that's another story.

     

    A couple of good signs right off the bat. 

    First is that he appeared in the formal vestments of the papacy.  Second is that he started his address in Latin.

    A Florida man is alive after being gored Sunday by a bison in Yellowstone National Park, park officials report.

    At about 3:15 in the Lake Village area of the park, a bison gored a 47-year-old Cape Coral, Florida, man after he approached it too closely, says a Wednesday statement by the Yellowstone National Park’s public affairs office.

    The man sustained minor injuries. Emergency medical personnel treated him, and officials are investigating the incident, says the statement.

    Yeah, that is weird.  1776 has some great music.

    I know.  I love it for its music.   But I never thought of it as a musical.  My wife is as huge fan of musicals, she's the person that got me liking them, and I said to her, "You know what musical we missed? 1776!" She blinked and said,  "Yea! That is a musical, isn't?"  To us it was just a good movie.

    The last one had a net worth of 16 million, no wonder he didn't take his 32k a month salary. Wow! Had a nice Harley though. Who da thunk!

     

    Most of that wasn't personal wealth, but tied up in official residences and vehicles at his disposal.   

     

    Saying that it was his personal wealth is like saying that the President owns the White House,  Airforce One,  Camp David, Marine One, and the fleet of presidential limousines.
