Worldwide Rape Organization
Files show how Catholics shielded molesters
"I like young butts and I cannot lie - You other priests can't deny..."
Link
Retired Cardinal Roger Mahony and other top Rape officials maneuvered behind the scenes
to shield molester priests and keep parishioners in the dark, according to church personnel files.
The confidential records filed in a lawsuit disclose how the church handled abuse allegations
for decades and also reveal dissent from a top Mahony aide who criticized his superiors for
covering up allegations of abuse rather than protecting children.
Notes inked by Mahony demonstrate he was disturbed about abuse and sent problem priests
for treatment, but there also were lengthy delays or oversights in some cases. Mahony received
psychological reports on some priests that mentioned the possibility of many other victims,
for example, but there is no indication that he or other church leaders investigated further.
"This is all intolerable and unacceptable to me," Mahony harrumped in 1991 on a file of the
Rev. Lynn Caffoe, a priest suspected of locking boys in his room, videotaping their crotches and
running up a $100 phone sex bill while with a boy. Caffoe was sent for therapy and removed
from ministry, but Mahony didn't defrock him until a decade after they lost track of him

Goldman Cashes in on Drought
They profit from the misery of others
Link
The farm belt has been facing one of the severest droughts in its history and the forecasts
says the next 3 months are going to be worse. The situation has deteriorated to the point
where hundreds of counties are being labeled disaster areas due to drought:
Meanwhile back on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs has been harvesting mighty profits from food shortages:
Goldman Sachs made more than $400M last year by speculating on food staples, reigniting the controversy
over banks profiting from the global food crisis…
Goldman invested its clients’ money in a range of “soft commodities”, from wheat and maize to coffee
and sugar, according to an analysis for The Independent by the World Development Movement (WDM).
This contributed to the 68 per cent jump in profits for 2012 Goldman announced last week,
allowing it to push up the average pay and bonus package of its bankers to £250,000.
Obama had a chance to fix these too-big-to-fail bastards and he muffed it.
When they came begging for Obama to rescue them, he could've broken up the big banks but
that would've been a bold move that would've helped everyone - so he passed up the chance.
I guess he was busy "looking forward."

We are pleased to release the ALL NEW trailer for SAVING LINCOLN
which opens in theaters on February 15th. The film utilizes a new filmmaking technique – CineCollage,
which makes use of actual Civil War photos (from the Library of Congress) for the green screen
backdrops in every scene. Based on fact, the story follows U.S. Marshall Ward Hill Lamon
as he shadows Abraham Lincoln as his bodyguard during the Civil War.

The Following
Did you watch the big premier last night starring Kevin Bacon?
It looks like it might be pretty good - they're comparing it to 24,
but this time the hero is a drunk that makes a lot of mistakes.
How big are the mistakes? Well, for one, whenever *I* confront
a super-dangerous serial killer, I don't forget my damn gun,
but maybe Kevin drinks more than I do...
Maybe it'll be better next week, but why did I bring this up?
We liked The Closer starring Kyra Sedgwick, Bacon's wife.
The way I heard it, she told the Closer producers that she and Kevin
lost many millions of dollars to Bernie Madoff and she had to dump
The Closer so she could do feature films and make up the money they lost.
So why did her husband sign a SIX-YEAR contract to do The Following?
Bacon told Howard Stern he doesn't own the show and is NOT listed as a
producer like most major TV stars these days - he just gets a salary.
Odd that she'd quit a hit show to "make more money in films"
and the next year he signs a six year deal to do some TV show.

Subject: Stan the Man
Hi, Bart.
I don’t get this one. Is this some complaint about reactions to the steroid era?
Stan the Man was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot of
the first year of his eligibility. Not only that, but he played “The Wabash Cannonball”
on his harmonica at some point in the ceremony.
Everybody, including the Brooklyn Dodgers fans, loved and respected him.
Phillip of Saco, ME
Phillip, it's two different subjects.
I think if the ball goes over the fence, it's a home run and it should count.
If your stupid bicycle crosses the finish line first, you won the damn race.
If all ten pins fall, it's a strike no matter how The Commitee voted.
"Greatness" that gets voted on just means the favorites win every year, like the Emmys.
Baseball has agreed to start performance-enhancing drug testing NEXT year,
which makes me wonder if Hank Aaron and Willie Mays etc., were on the junk.
As far as Musial, he was an all-time, top-five hitter and STILL
twenty people voted against him getting in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It's not about how good a player you were,
it's about how many asses you've agreed to kiss.
Subject: Baseball Hall of Fame
Bart,
You are right about the voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
After the original five players (Ruth, Mathewson, Cobb, Wagner, and Johnson)
were inducted in 1936, the player getting the most votes was not Aaron, Mays, Musial,
Williams, Mantle, Cy Young, DiMaggio, or even Connie Mack.
It was Tom Seaver, with just over 98%. Very good pitcher,
but probably not in the top 100 players or top 50 pitchers of all time.

Save Sandy-ravaged Areas?
Link
Superstorm Sandy, one of the nation's costliest natural disasters, is giving new urgency
to an age-old debate about whether areas repeatedly damaged by storms should be rebuilt,
or is it cheaper in the long run to buy out vulnerable properties and let nature reclaim them.
The difficulty in getting aid for storm victims through those racist, heartless Republican bastards
highlights the hard choices that may have to be made soon across the country, where the federal,
state and local governments all are lacking the resources to keep writing checks when storms strike.
But the idea of abandoning a place that has been home for years is unthinkable for many.
I don't have a say but it's my opinion that these storms will only get worse.

Lance thinks he can “come out” and get away with all his sh*t...
What he doesn’t realize is that he’s hurt too many people, he’s stolen too much money, and...
he’s broken waaay too many laws, especially federal ones against fraud.
He won’t go to jail, well not for long, but he will be penniless...
and even his book proceeds will go to paying off plaintiffs.
The only real winner here was Oprah...she’s the real bandit this time around!

Can he really be broke?
If I made $500M I'd have $20M stashed away somewhere
but maybe Lance's IQ is smaller than mine...

Subject: Lance Armstrong
Yet another false equivalence. Armstrong was adamant about the fact that he did not do
blood doping or anything else. So much so that he threatened to destroy and actually did,
financially, anyone who said or even implied otherwise. Now he has also admitted to
steroid use and a number of other *illegal* substances to boost his performance.
He's a slug, totally devoid of ethics or morals to say nothing of being a lying bastard.

Going to Alaska
Mrs Bart has always wanted to go to Alaska and Hawaii.
Thanks to Scott H (Don HO) we got to Hawaii in 2005 and we thought we'd
better go to Alaska before I have to drag an oxygen tank behind my wheelchair.
We bought tickets last year but we kept running into reasons why we couldn't go so
we're trying once again to go - and we're Alaska newbies. Astrocat says March is the
best month for aurora viewing and the weather isn't always freezing - hopefully.
Astrocat called and told me I had a lot of things backwards.
We'll see no bears in March and the ferries hardly run in the winter.
He suggested we stay with the car rental and that's probably good advice.
He said the ride to Fairbanks is killer so we'll do that.
And some thing new we're going to try:
Would you like to sponsor a protion of the trip?
Maybe a tank of gas or a few dollars toward a hotel or a boat ride or something?
That would get your name in the sure-to-be-fun Alaska Trip Report.
"And the third night we stayed at the Wedgewood in Fairbanks thanks to
Lou and Rita farnsworth and the King of All Dogs," type of thing.
