Libs Drive Bishop North From Sheffield

It was like a miracle, an act of divine intervention in the affairs of men. Yes, a man who was opposed to the ordination of women was nominated to become a Diocesan Bishop in the Church of England.

Seriously, a traditional Anglo-Catholic, Philip North, was approved and ready to go as the next Bishop of Sheffield, even though he's against the ordination of women. Remarkable, and a true test of the CofE's commitment to tolerance and inclusion. 

The same tolerance, let the reader understand, which undergirded the small denomination's 2014 decision to allow women to become bishops. This, it was promised, would never prevent a traditionalist from getting one of the church's top jobs. No, from henceforth the Elysian pastures of England's State Church would be home to two integrities, one for and one against womyn priests.

Such a beautiful, irenic vision! You can almost see the unicorns frolic and gambol amidst the rainbows of the declining denomination's polity. And, speaking of rainbows, it was a crock all along.

Advocates of womyn priests were so enraged by North's nomination and caused such an uproar that North felt obliged to withdraw from the position. "It is clear," he stated, "that the level of feeling is such that my arrival would be counter-productive in terms of the mission of the Church in South Yorkshire and that my leadership would not be acceptable to many."

So, while the Church of England remains a place of "mutual flourishing" and respect for all, on paper, in reality it's a rather different thing. A place of flourishing for anyone, as long as they're on board with the great Gospel Mandate that never was, to ordain womyn. 

Good luck, CofE trads. And sorry, Philip, you deserved better.

Reza Aslan, Cannibal

After eating human brains on his TV show, Believer, CNN's self-proclaimed religious scholar, Reza Aslan, is now a cannibal as well as a Muslim.

In a recent episode of his show, Reza got down to it with a Shiva worshiping Hindu sect, the Aghori. After eating half a human brain and drinking an alcoholic concoction from a human skull, the Aghori guru threw human feces at the liberal journalist and threatened to cut his head off. Perhaps the guru sensed that Reza didn't take the Aghori very seriously. If so, he'd have had a point.

Here's Reza's take on religion, in his own words:

Can you have faith without religion? Of course! But as the Buddha said, if you want to strike water, you don’t dig six 1-foot wells; you dig one 6-foot well. In other words, if you want to have a deep and meaningful faith experience, it helps — though it is by no means necessary — to have a language with which to do so.

So then, pick a well.

Different words, same thing.

My well is Islam, and in particular, the Sufi tradition. Let me be clear, I am Muslim not because I think Islam is “truer” than other religions (it isn’t), but because Islam provides me with the “language” I feel most comfortable with in expressing my faith. It provides me with certain symbols and metaphors for thinking about God that I find useful in making sense of the universe and my place in it….

So, Reza doesn't think any one religion or "well" is actually true, it's just that some are more suited to the way someone happens to feel than others. For Reza it's Islam, but not because it's "truer", it's just more comfy.

In other words, religion, for Reza, is a game, a metaphorical language game of pick 'n mix according to what makes you feel "comfortable."  How very enlightened and CNN progressive, until of course the rubber hits the road and you find yourself eating human brains out of a skull while a guru throws **it at you.

You can't blame the guru for wanting to cut Reza's head off. CNN's famously enlightened religious scholar was essentially mocking the Aghori faith, in the same way he mocks all faith by relegating it to a matter of opinion. But faith has to do with truth, about belief that's either right or wrong, regardless of how comfortable or otherwise it makes you feel.

Perhaps Reza pondered that as he ate his brains.

What a cannibal.

Tea With LSP

Part of the problem with having your teeth out is that you can't chew anything until your gums have healed and the new gnashers settled. But you can sip, in my case, hot tea.

And apologies, "stars and bars" should be "stars and stripes" in the above infovid.

Witch Hunt!

America's truth seekers in the Democratic Party, along with the Washington Post and the New York Times, are engaged in the greatest witch hunt this country's seen since the storied days of Salem, or Senator McCarthy. That's right, the hunt for Russian spies, attempting to subvert our democracy.

Spies like General Flynn, Jeff Sessions and the President, Donald Trump himself; all tools of the Kremlin! But what about the Podestas? You know, Hillary's campaign chairman and his brother, Tony?

John and Tony may not be witches, although they're friends with one, Marina Abramovic, and their lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, only took in $20k a month, from March-September 2016, from Sberbank alone. All for lobbying the administration to put an end to Russian sanctions. 

You can read about it here and while you're at it, remind yourself of the Podesta Group's past business in the enchanted woods of Uranium One, Russian banks, the Clinton Foundation and Hillary herself.

Odd, isn't it, how the Russian witch hunt's died down in the last few days, and here's a thought. When you cast a spell, say it's against the Russians or Trump's administration, make sure it doesn't rebound and hit you in the face.

God bless,

A Visit To Ray's

Perhaps you've had all your teeth removed and look like someone's smacked you 'round the face a bit. Whatever, visit the gunshop and buy a mug, or a gun.

I couldn't manage a gun because they're too pricey at Ray's but I'm happy with the mug.

Fly The Chopper, Syma S107g Review

Everyone wants to be a chopper pilot and I got my chance this February, in Aberystwyth, with Syma's small but maneuverable S107g Phantom. I was impressed, the little chopper was fun to fly and crash. So I decided to get one when I got back to LSPland.

One visit to Amazon Prime later and there it was, a brand new S107g blazing its way across country, all for the grand sum of $20. Pretty cheap for a helicopter, right?  A couple of days later it arrived at Dallas HQ in a suspiciously large box. Fortunately for all concerned, there was a Spyderco Persistence close to hand. What could possibly be taking up all that space, I thought in wonderment as I hacked at the cardboard with my trusty Spyderco.

A lot of ballast, well done Amazon for protecting the chopper in transit, and the S107g Phantom itself, securely packaged with its controller and a USB charging cable. What else?

It came complete with an infrared control system, Tri-band Technology (three control channels), a high grade metal body and a built in gyroscope, handy for keeping the craft stable in flight and that's not all. 

The "incredibly portable", well go figure, it's a miniature helicopter, S107g also has a "32-Level high precision speed controller, which automatically stabilizes the rotor blade system for steady lift off." And don't forget that the S107G's high precision propellers are powered by 2 solid motors with a third motor in the tail rotor. That's the marketing. Did it work?

Sure it did, like a treat, flying with surprising power for the whole length of its advertised 8 minute flight time. The diminutive Phantom took off, hovered, flew steady and darted about with surprising agility, thanks in part to an intuitive and light to the touch controller. Flying time over, the chopper charges by USB in 30 or so minutes and it's ready to get back in the action. Not a bad turn around for a helicopter and comparable to other models on the market. 

It's well made, too, out of metal, and has an impressive light below its nose, which flashes red and blue alternately. Useful for night flying.

So what's the verdict? Syma's Phantom works as advertised and it's a lot fun to fly, offering big bang or the buck. A mere $20 for the vast pleasure of flying your very own helicopter on missions across the house. Cheap at half the price and I'll say it again, the Phantom's well made, nicely put together and strong with it. But is it tactical? Sure it is, especially on night missions. Do women like them? I'd have thought that was obvious.

So, if you're in the market for an affordable, well made indoor helicopter that works and's a lot of fun, check out the Syma 107g Phantom. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Fly on,

Melania Mondays!

What's our nation's attractive, glamorous and popular First Lady been up to since the last exciting installment of Melania Mondays!?

Only looking stunningly good, opening the White House to tours and visiting sick children at Children's National in DC and Presbyterian in New York.

Melania isn't just the most beautiful First Lady this country's had, she's also compassionate and maternal. Think, we could have had a very different kind of woman in the White House.

The very same entity our corrupt, lying, faked up, elitist media pushed for so hard and failed so dismally at electing.

That woman lost, Melania didn't and she's busy looking good, caring for children and making America great again. Well done, Melania, keep it up!

Dental D Day

Today was D Day, dental D Day. As LL reminds me, don't put it off, take the war to the enemy, in this case, my teeth. So I drove across Dallas to get the malefactors pulled. 

Unlike the real D Day, this operation didn't hurt, and nobody got killed. In fact it seemed like a lot less hassle than a root canal, and there I was, 2 implants and a set of falsies later, ready to get back in the fight.

You know, the kind of fight that doesn't involve speaking, eating or anything much to do with your mouth. But hey, it had to be done otherwise tooth poison was going to get to the heart and bring this endeavor to an untimely end. To say nothing of the ultimate benefit of a functional mouth.

In other news, the tyranny of Blogger is about to be broken with big thanks to HS who's kindly arranged hosting and development for lonestarparson.com. It's "live" so feel free to have a look, but bear in mind it's "under development."

WIRETAPPING!!!

Presented without comment except to say that Barack Obama claims he didn't know what his friend AG Loretta Lynch and the DOJ were doing. Not that they were doing anything and even if they were, it's the Russian's fault because they STOLE the election from its rightful owner, Hillary, who was the most qualified person ever to be President. And now she's not, because of the RUSSIANS and their SPIES.

Yes, SPIES, like Donald Trump, General Flynn and Jeff Sessions. So it's a good thing they were tapped, even though they probably weren't and the BEST PRESIDENT EVER, Barack Obama, didn't know anything about it anyway, even if they were, which they weren't. Repeat Ad. Naus.

Note, in the absence of comment from the Compound, how DJT controls the narrative like a Boss, as the Democrats flail and spin in their risible attempt to make themselves look good in the face of their crushing election defeat.

God bless,
