Storming the Vatican

Pope Francis is a reprobate and a heretic. He should have been deposed long ago. The Catholic faithful and people of good faith throughout the world really deserve someone who actually has an original thought in his head. We deserve a pope who views Sacred Scripture and Sacred Doctrine not as confining obstacles but rather…

The “I-Word”

During Lent, we Catholics are instructed not to say the “A-word”, i.e. “alleluia”. It’s use is suspended until Easter. In the worlds of politics, economics, and finance, agents this season are leery of using the “I-word” namely “inflation” unless it is a referent to a phenomenon immediately dismissed as unworthy of concern. After all, the…

The Good Sons Versus GameStop

It has been a while since I saw the movie The Good Son (1993) so please do pardon my fuzzy yet necessary and ultimately beneficial recollection of the plot. Essentially, a boy played by Macaulay Culkin has everyone tricked into believing him to be a good boy. He has all the airs of a good…

Before you Democrats out there get all a tither because you heard on CNN that a tie means this election gets tossed to the House of Representatives, read your Constitution again. In such a scenario, each STATE’s representation in the House gets one vote. And…

Film Review: Mr. Jones (2019)

The central character in Agnieszka Holland’s riveting account of the Ukrainian Holodomor is pursued by intrepid journalist Gareth Jones but the desired interviewee nonetheless never makes a genuine appearance. Such is fitting as the crux of the issue and the cause of the events addressed in Mr. Jones are not the makings of just one man–no…

Not So Funny Business: Is Seinfeld’s New York (Or Chicago) Dead?

All due deference to the man who is the namesake of and one of the geniuses behind the greatest American sit-com about nothing, but in the recent war/argument/discussion/exchange/girly-slapfest over the status and future of New York City, it is hard to award dear Jerry with a win. It was indeed Seinfeld who played a novel,…
