I just wonder if the Vatican is accepting nominations for receiving the rod.  I want to make sure I spell "Pelosi" right.

Rorate Caeli reports:

"Your rod and your staff – they comfort me": the shepherd needs the rod as protection against savage beasts ready to pounce on the flock; against robbers looking for prey. Along with the rod there is the staff which gives support and helps to make difficult crossings. Both of these are likewise part of the Church’s ministry, of the priest’s ministry. The Church too must use the shepherd’s rod, the rod with which he protects the faith against those who falsify it, against currents which lead the flock astray. The use of the rod can actually be a service of love. Today we can see that it has nothing to do with love when conduct unworthy of the priestly life is tolerated. Nor does it have to do with love if heresy is allowed to spread and the faith twisted and chipped away, as if it were something that we ourselves had invented. As if it were no longer God’s gift, the precious pearl which we cannot let be taken from us. Even so, the rod must always become once again the shepherd’s staff –a staff which helps men and women to tread difficult paths and to follow the Lord.

The year is 1947.

Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO)with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.
 
However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948,nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
 
Albert A. Gore, Jr..  
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry  
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean  
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?

Continuing his Chicago mafia style of governance, President Barack Obama said about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, "I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."


Which caused CNBC to comment that he wasn't being very "presidential."  The good news is, it only took them a little more than a year to notice.

While the Ass-Kicker-in-Chief doing his best Mr. T. impression on the Today show, he continues to blame others for the lack of responsiveness and, as Fred Barnes writing in the Weekly Standard points out, that everything - I mean everything - is really George Bush's fault:

While insisting "we need to focus on the future," President Obama devoted much of his speech on terrorist detainees today to denouncing the policies of President Bush's administration. He faulted everyone in Washington for "pointing fingers at one another," yet pointed his own finger frequently, and critically, at the Bush administration. Obama said America's problems won't be solved "unless we solve them together"--in a divisive and partisan speech certain to alienate Republicans and conservatives.

If any president has gone to such lengths to attack his White House predecessor as Obama did today, I don't recall it. True,presidents have blamed the prior administration for problems they inherit, but I can't think of a president who did so as aggressively and with such moral preening as Obama.

Continuing with the "Mr. T." theme (as in Teleprompter), between his tough talk and his blame shifting, Obama is keeping them on the edge of their sleeping bags with his fabled rhetorical skills:

 



Notwithstanding CNBC's startling revelation to the contrary, I think the President's recent comments are about the only presidential thing he's done to date.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) remarks to a gathering of progressive activists at the America's Future Now conference on Tuesday were greeted by screaming protesters, forcing Pelosi to literally yell parts of her speech. Here's some video of the scene:
