Priestly Sex, the Fake IRS Scandal , and Worthless Pills

HOLY SEX - 

In the movie Cannonball Run (1981), Dean Martin played a race car driver disguised as a Catholic priest. His primary competitor, played by Burt Reynolds, drove a supercharged ambulance with Farrah Fawcett playing a fake transport patient. Martin stopped the ambulance with the pretense that he always stops ambulances to bless patients. However, during the blessing his partner would stealthily poke a hole in one of the tires. When Martin opened the side door of the ambulance and saw Fawcett lying invitingly on a gurney, he said, "Oh, I gotta bless her."

I think this is what happened in Wyalusing recently when on May 17 (Review, May 25, 2013) the local police charged a couple in the back seat of a car with open lewdness, the female mostly naked, the male a Roman Catholic priest. I'm sure there was some sort of blessing happening, and the police were just not familiar with Roman Catholic procedures. Bishop Bambera of Scranton expressed anger at this "immoral and seemingly illegal behavior." Actually, the bishop should praise the priest for showing a normal attraction for a consenting mature partner rather than the too frequent immature cravings of far too many Catholic priests over the last few decades.

IRS SCANDAL - 

The GOP is outraged at the IRS for trying to do an impossible job created when the Supreme Court passed Citizens United which flooded politics with huge amounts of money from corporations and billionaires attempting (and largely succeeding) to buy the political process. And Congress is also to blame for creating tax law with vague definitions of what qualifies for special tax status as a social welfare group. The GOPs plan is to weaken the IRS so that all Tea Party organizations get approved as non-profit thus not requiring their donors to be disclosed.

However, as the GOP is attempting, unsuccessfully, to work the media to a frenzy over various created scandals, the economy is slowly improving, unemployment is slowly going down, and preliminary figures from California show that health insurance costs under ObamaRomneyCare will be "surprisingly low". So while the GOP fiddles, the Democrats are winning. Good plan, GOP.
