Time Traveler McCain Blasts Putin!

Time Traveler?

Senator John "Weathervane" McCain has blasted Vladimir Putin in his reply to the Russian leader's touchdown scoring op-ed in the New York Times. 

Entitled, "Why Russians deserve better than McCain Putin," McCain's reply was written for Pravda.ru, a well-loved online successor to the famous Soviet newspaper of the same name. In his article, McCain criticizes Putin for being against gay sex and the female Punk band, Pussy Riot, who blasphemed the Virgin Mary in Moscow's cathedral and were imprisoned. 

Vladimir Putin, Reincarnation of St. Paul?

The Senator goes on to launch a blistering attack against Vladimir Putin.

"President Putin doesn't believe in these values because he doesn't believe in you. He doesn't believe that human nature at liberty can rise above its weaknesses and build just, peaceful, prosperous societies. Or, at least, he doesn't believe Russians can. So he rules by using those weaknesses, by corruption, repression and violence. He rules for himself, not you."

Pravda, which means "truth" in Russian, was quick to run reactions to the Senator's article. "Vladimir Putin wins presidential elections," quipped one columnist, "Senator McCain loses them."

Bear Rider v. Rainbow Pony 

Experts have questioned John McCain's temporal point of origin, with several chronometrists arguing that the Senator was genetically engineered in 2086 and warped back in time, in a failed future-world bid to change U.S. and Russian Presidential history. 

From the Future?

Vladimir Putin, hailed by some as the reincarnation of St. Paul, remains in power, with political pundits speculating on the possibility of his election to yet another term  in Russia's highest office.

No Desertion, No Surrender

Solemn High Mass

The Society of the Holy Cross, (SSC) is a priestly society founded in 19th Century England to defend and strengthen the spiritual life of its members and promote the catholic faith and mission of the Church. The Society's spread beyond England and includes an American Province, which met this week in Dallas. 

Some of the Crew, Requiem

I was Head of Transport and chartered a school bus to ferry the priests about from hotel to church. "Are you on the bus, or off the bus?!?" was my Keseyite cry. They mostly were, though some rented cars and many of the Texans had their own trucks. 

View over Oak Lawn

The SSC motto is No Desertion, No Surrender! Part of that means no goof-off rainbow clowns.

Terrifying Clowns

Terrifying

A mystery clown has been terrifying the unpleasant English town of Northhampton. Taking his cue from prominent U.S. Klowns, the anonymous British jokester doesn't appear to have a coherent agenda, other than standing around, grinning and staring inanely.

Stop Scaring People

This angers some victims: "You've been spotted now get out of the clown suit and start acting like a grown up," said one Northhampton resident, "and stop scaring people as some people do have real fears of clowns and you are terrorising them despite what you may say."

Terrorising

People in America, Britain and around the world are often terrified of clowns. Symptoms include feelings of dread, increased heartbeat, sweating, nausea and anger.

At Large

The Northhampton Clown and its U.S. counterparts are still at large. Experts have written off U.S. foreign policy as "largely a joke."

Axe Attack

settlers

A church member was telling me about his father yesterday, after Mass. He remembers his guv'nor charging his neighbor with an axe. The neighbor had a 30-06. Careful with that axe, old chap.

Moral of the story? We're not that far here from the Frontier.

You Thief!

I stole this photo from LL, who tells us he took it from Woodsterman, who took it from someone else again. And who can blame us?

Dallas Wilderness

Where I Get My Hair Cut

One of the things I like to do, when not testing out new crossbows, or trying to hook or shoot things, is explore Dallas. Sometimes you can even combine the two, but seriously, I had no idea that there was such wilderness within the city. 

Dallas MixMaster

Urban wilderness sure, but not the natural sort. Still, there it is, right in the metroplex, wild hogs, exotic birds and monster 7' Gar, all dependent on the winding Trinity. Here's a photo, taken from the unpleasant Audubon Center:

The Trinity

Not that long ago, well within the memory of people's Great Grandfathers, this part of America was just beginning to be mapped. Reflect on that for a moment.

Dallas Pigs

It is very different indeed to England.
