I am flawed.
(Pause while the crowd gasps)
Yes, this King of Nowheresville has no clothes.
However, I still intend to cast a few stones. What's a rock or two amongst the fallen?
I have been sitting at my desk all day lip-synching to CNN. It's the only English speaking station on the television here in Hungary so I keep tuned in to it all day as I work. They run the same stories over an over again.
This is why I know, even from my view in the cheap seats, that this is Fire a Bishop month for the Vatican.
I am not a Catholic but it seems to me that a Bishop is pretty high up corporate ladder. I think two have lost their jobs this week alone for molesting children. Of course, they did that years ago but, unlike other pedophiles, they lost interest in the activity and moved on to other hobbies. Now, as they near retirement age, they are offered up as sacrificial lambs. Hallalluia! Ah have been healed!!
The church cut out the cancer and now can move on to other things - like balance sheets for example. I think its great that they have exercised the demons and are now clean. Unless, of course, their clergy is made up of humans, those beings with a taste for recidivism.
But I am not here to talk about that (well maybe a little).
Today, being Friday, is test day. So, sharpen your pencils and take the following one-question quiz.
What do the following have in common?
Tiger Woods and dozens of other famous athletes
A few dozen priests and bishops
A disturbingly large percentage of our elected officials
This is multiple choice so...
A) They are all famous
B) They were all held in high esteem
C) None of them are wearing any clothes (aka got caught)
D) Promised to be good
E) Were believed by us when they did (D)
F) All of the above
If this were the teacher's edition of my blog, you would be able to turn to the back of the book and see that the answer is (F).
Now hand in your papers.
