Listen Up, Heathen



I'd say this was especially appropriate to the way we live now. St. Thomas Aquinas, via Dom Garrigou Lagrange:

St. Thomas, who was exceedingly humble and magnanimous, established very well the exact definition of these two virtues, which should be united, and that of the defects opposed to them. He defined pride as the inordinate love of our own excellence. The proud man wishes, in fact, to appear superior to what he really is: there is falsity in his life. When this inordinate love of our own excellence is concerned with sensible goods, for example, pride in our physical strength, it belongs to that part of the sensibility called the irascible appetite. It is in the will when it is concerned with goods of the spiritual order, such as intellectual pride and spiritual pride. This defect of the will presupposes that our intellect considers our own merits and the insufficiencies of our neighbors more than it ought, and that it exaggerates in order to raise us above them.
Love of our own excellence is said to be inordinate as it is contrary to right reason and divine law. It is directly opposed to the humble submission of the defectible and deficient creature before the majesty of God.

Inordinate love of our own excellence. Dodge the flying monkey.

The Clinton Color Revolution



American politics is weird and getting weirder, as Gold Trump lines up for an epic face-off against Green Hillary. That's right, green. Some are calling it a color revolution.

Look closely at this photo of Hillary from the Super Tuesday primaries.


Clearly Visible Green Glow

Hillary emanates an otherworldly green aura that's clearly visible to the unaided eye. Where does it come from; is this the green light of murderous ambition and a decades old lust for power, or is there a physical explanation?




Like uranium, or the light that spills off of the Emerald City, suffusing the denizens of Oz with its viridescent glow.




Perhaps we should ask the monkeys. Or would that be the FBI?

Shrove Tuesday



As faithful Christians were gearing up for Lenten penance, Hillary Rodham Clinton was getting a shriving in New Hampshire, handily beaten by a 74 year Communist, Bernie Sanders. 




The GOP establishment took one in the face too, with celebrity real estate mogul Donald Trump dominating the Republican Party field. Sorry, bow tie and tasseled loafer brigade, you lose.




So what does it mean, we asked ourselves over pancakes at the Missions. A Bern v. Trump shoot-out for the Presidency? A return to the good old days of better dead than red or vice versa and devil take the hindmost?




One thing's sure, if the old commie keeps up at this pacemaker it's going to take a whole lot of flying monkeys to keep Hillary in the running, and out of jail.

Don't forget to go to Mass tomorrow, it's Ash Wednesday.

Is Hillary Clinton Run by a Broken AI?


There is growing concern in the Intelligence community that Hillary Clinton is being run by a malfunctioning artificial intelligence (AI), code named HARRIDAN.

"Her mistakes are beyond human comprehension," stated a  source who prefers to remain anonymous for reasons of personal security, "The only explanation for this series of catastrophic blunders is HARRIDAN. The AI that's been running her is clearly broken."



Hillary has been plagued by a catalogue of embarrassing revelations ever since she announced her bid to become President of the United States of America, and the most powerful woman in the world. These include:

Preferred treatment to businesses that donated millions of dollars to the Clinton foundation, including Russian owned Uranium One.

Millions of dollars paid to the Clintons in speaking fees by businesses, such as Goldman Sachs, Barclays Capital and Deutsche Bank, who donated heavily to the Clinton Foundation.



False tax returns, which failed to list foreign government donations to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secretary of State.

Using private emails and a private server to conduct government business, during Hillary's time as Secretary of State. These emails were subsequently deleted and the server "wiped clean."

Falsifying blame for the Beghazi massacre, in which a US Ambassador was tortured and killed.

Claiming to be poor, when in receipt of $200k+ speaking fees and the possession of multiple homes and mansions.

Pretending to be the champion of "ordinary Americans" while admitting to not driving a car since 1996.



Hillary Clinton dismisses these and other allegations as "absurd conspiracy theories." Is this yet more evidence that HARRIDAN's Truth Algorithm is broken and that her Personal Power AI (PPIA) has run amok?

Sources deep within US Intelligence believe that it is.

You be the judge,
