Henry VIII 1, Roman Catholic Church and Scientology 0, Pietasters 20.

May 29th, 2009 by cooper

Henry, or at least Liz, must be smi­ling with satis­fac­tion from the grave over the con­ti­nued rec­rui­ting suc­cess of the Angli­can Church, even their bas­tard branch. In this case, Epis­co­pa­lians get them­sel­ves a hot Latino cha­ris­ma­tic priest with a large tele­vi­sion fan base in Miami. Bet­ter to have a fiancée than a 10 year old boy­friend. The Catho­lic Church should be relie­ved. Epis­co­pa­lians are not really doing a favor though. Face it, any sect would be proud to take him in, if not steal him outright, and the name, Cutié. How spe­cial is that?

More on Scien­to­logy, only because the pre­vious post inc­lu­ded a tid­bit on Scien­to­logy, from The Regis­ter via Mashable’s Wiki­pe­dia to Church of Scien­to­logy: You’re Ban­ned! , says one cult to another.

In an unpre­ce­den­ted effort to crack down on self-serving edits, the Wiki­pe­dia supreme court has ban­ned con­tri­bu­tions from all IP addres­ses owned or ope­ra­ted by the Church of Scien­to­logy and its associates.

Tuc­ker Carlson’s The Daily Caller to launch soon. Inte­res­ting disas­ter in the making. I kind of hoped he would have called it the daily poop, crap, or some deri­va­tive. I wish him bet­ter luck with this than he’s had with all his past endea­vors. I know fai­ling is s good thing for the life growth scale, but how many times can you fail without finally giving it up? I find it hard to believe Carl­son could ever allow real jour­na­lism on his site, des­pite him cons­tantly saying how much he sup­ports it. His penchant for get­ting the last word in is surely going to make this no more than a slightly less crazy, more hea­vily sub­si­di­zed, Red State.

I’m going to see The Pie­tas­ters later tonight. They’re pla­ying within wal­king dis­tance from here. They won’t go on until 10, and as my age belies my energy these days a nap will be in order.

How Fric­king cool is that? Espe­cially the “wal­king dis­tance no need to park” part?

Ans­wer: Pretty Fric­king cool.

I’ll pro­bably be out all night. ;)

    Had to think about that first part, don’t know too many peo­ple who call Queen Eli­sa­beth liz…ha ha.

    Are you calling Wiki­pe­dia a cult?

    they only notice when the typi­cally “hot” priests leave?

    i am dumb to the Pie­tas­ters. You’re an old ska girl aren’t you? I for­get because you some­ti­mes sound over your age and out of the realm of the fun and crazy.

    Who would have thunk it?
    Scientology’s worst enemy could be peo­ple (on Earth) with free thin­king brains with pos­si­ble con­flic­ting opinions.

    Darth Vader:“I find your lack of faith dis­tur­bing.“
    Then that’s when Darth Vader would use his kine­tic powers to choke the person.

      They are actually awe­some. They some­time use dif­fe­rent types of fidd­les inc­lu­ding the stan­dard vio­lin, last night for ins­tance there was a fiddler.

    The priest defec­tion is enter­tai­ning. Is Carl­son really bothe­ring? Guess his mom ponied up some more dough. Even­tually something has to work.

    a cult ban­ning a cult — cute.

    Pietasters/ Final Leno Tonight Show. No contest.

    i saw them once in D.C. awe­some when I saw them. I was much youn­ger and quite drunk, but I remem­ber it affec­tio­na­tely — in a rough way of course.

      His mom is some hei­ress or other isn’t she, can’t remem­ber who though and I’m not inte­res­ted enough to look it up.

    A far bet­ter clip of them at the 9:30 club. I know that went with the theme of the post but this is a pretty good clip.

    I hoped thought Carl­son was out of the business.

    I don’t talk reli­gion, with a family full of priests and all, but that is one smooth loo­king priest.

    I look for­ward to Carlson’s site. Right now Pat Bucha­nan has the best right-leaning site and that shouldn’t con­ti­nue a day lon­ger than necessary.

  7. DougNo Gravatar says:

    Um, I should add to the above com­ment. @TAC, which Bucha­nan star­ted is the best righty blog, EXCEPT when Bucha­nan posts. He’s still an idiot.

    How many times can you fail without finally giving it up? Will let you know by winter

    When I went to the The Pietaster’s wiki entry I became hung up on pro­per wri­ting for Wiki. I never knew there were standards

    I think Doug deser­ves a good right site. He has to hang with the left to get any true sti­mu­la­tion at all

      He could make his own, he already has the Pratt­ler which is far bet­ter than anything else out there even though it might be above the level that most “Red State” rea­ders can comprehend.

    How were they? Nice, they pla­yed in your small city.
    Wiki­pe­dia is pretty dan­ge­rous too, as you poin­ted out, ha ha.

    Someone told me once, in all serious­ness, that priests would be no good were they not celibate.

    Couldn’t remem­ber for a moment who Tuc­ker Carl­son is. I don’t think he’ll be coun­ting on me for participation.

    Guys like Cutie make me sick. Why take the vows if you aren’t going to follow them? The guy needs to decide if he truly wants to be in a ministry. Until he deci­des that, he isn’t morally fit to be a gree­ter at Wal-Mart.

    • cooperNo Gravatar says:

      With my fee­lings on reli­gion beiNg what they are this doesn’t bother me a bit. he can minis­ter and have sex. I think reli­gion is so full of hypoc­ri­tes doing the minis­te­ring that it really doesn’t seem much of a point to me to con­si­der this any big deal.

  12. piaNo Gravatar says:

    Hate it when you who com­plains about others tur­ned off com­ments turns off yours. “Now he is a martyr” is one of the grea­test lines you have writ­ten for we who might not truly believe in late term abor­tions believe more in a woman’s right to choose

    My brain’s on sun power – not truly func­tio­ning and what I thought about Dr Tiller’s mur­der esca­ped me until I read that one line
