Calvin Coolidge
Now granted that his guy is the CEO and it’s very possible that he made this decision uninalaterally but the idea that nobody near him thought it was worth saying: “Maybe this isn’t a good idea” speaks volunes:
And this is the company famous for their “Mayhem” ads. I suspect they’ll be able to do such an ad about their next board meeting.
Squadron Leader Bartlett: Come on, fellas. Move! Move! We can get dozens out in this darkness.
The Great Escape 1963
Well in addition to a New Year it’s a New Month so while the blog is now a part time hobby there is still a new Indulgence Calendar. (Jimmy Carter will have to wait till next month as the calendar was done before he died.)
And yes a Protestant can in fact be on the indulgence calendar, in fact as they don’t believe in purgatory and aren’t praying for their dead one might consider that a Protestant needs the prayers of the indulgence calendar even more to hurry them along through purgatory as they aren’t getting a lot of help in that regard from friends and family nor are masses being said except for general masses for the souls in purgagtory.
And of course this jubilee year there are special indulgences available not only to those who visit Rome and the jubilee churches there but in local dioceses everywhere. Check at your local Diocese web site for details and also at the USCCB site for more details on the Jubilee
The English language Papal Bull containing listing the special plenary indulgences available is here.
A quick summery the special Jubilee year indungences are avaialble if you:
In other words there are a TON of ways to earn that 2nd daily plenary indulgence available through Jan 6th 2026 although the 2nd indulgence MUST be for the soul of someone deceased not for yourself.
And remember a Plenary indulgence pays for the ENTIRE debt of sin, it’s a get out of purgatory free card and while Martin Luthor rightly complained about those who disgracefully sold indulgences for profit, that disgrace is long gone. These indulgences like all indulgences won’t cost you a penny. All you need is the willingness to act.
And unlike The Great Escape where they could get dozens out due to darkness through this light we can get millions to where to their ultimate destination who can’t help themselves.
And what better day to act than Jan 1st the Feast of Mary, the other reason for the season because of her act of humbly saying “yes” to she became the Mother of God and made possible the salvation of all his children who are willing to say “yes” to him as well.
Am I the only person who when I heard about the reported Chinese Hack of Treasury instantly thought this was to cover data already sold to the CCP willingly by this administration?
It’s a little too early to speak ill of the dead so rather than talk about Carter the president let me say this about Jimmy Carter the man. He really loved his wife and they apparently had an excellent marriage.
The one thing that the death of President Carter means, besides the issuing of his presidential dollar coin, is that the Biden Administration gets one final chance to do something right, handling the funeral as President Trump will have no responsibility for it.
Remember how that Cancer bill that the left blaming Musk for holding up was finally passed by the Senate when it was no longer useful for the narrative, well now that it’s no longer useful to lie about the job numbers they are being revised downwards in a spectacular fashion before Biden team is gone. As if any sane person believed them.
Oh now the press is also calling Biden’s mental decline the most underreported story of 2024. This is false, it was not underreported. It was specifically denied by the press and those speaking what was plain to any person with eyes or showing video examples of it were declared liars. These people are at best incompetent fools and at worst bought lying scum, or possibly both.
Side note. One of the advantages of having been a credentialed member of press while wearing a Doctor Who scarf is that the MSM assumes you are a leftist, I was able to hear what these people were saying in the press areas and let me say, there is nothing like hearing what the press has to say to each other off camera to make you realize they can’t be trusted.
If you really want to understand how Bad the Press is watch this fellow try to defend carjackers from being shot.
Speaking of Doctor Who the Christmas Special this year apparently did very poorly in the ratings. It was not a bad story and it had some real moments, particularly the ordinary year, and in most years it would have drawn respectable but not spectacular numbers and Gatwa wasn’t bad at all, but when you spend years chasing away your customer base bad things tend to happen to the numbers.
Of course quality Doctor Who stories are continuing to be produced regularly, only they are coming from Big Finish on audio rather than the BBC. It’s worth noting that Jodi Whitaker’s Doctor is getting a 12 episode series at Big Finish, while I won’t be buying them it will be interesting to see if with competent writers she can pull off the Doctor. The high quality of the writing at big finish did wonders for the reputations of Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy’s place in the Doctor Who pantheon.
It will be very interesting to see what a year or two of problems solvers being in charge does for America and the world. The amount of problems already solved just by them being about to take power has been considerable.
Speaking of competent Sweden whose novel approach of reality seemed to work with COVID has apparently decided to solve their problem of violent Islamic Immigration
On a local note a Fitchburg Bar & Grill is hosting a weekly pinball event. Alas Mill City Pub is holding it on Wednesdays and I have at least 2-3 Wednesday’s a month already taken for the next few years.
Finally this is my last post as a business. Starting tomorrow no more paid writers, no more covering stories, this blog ceases to be a business as of tomorrow. The writers who are here will still have posting rights if they want to use them and I’ll still post on occasion likely about our Dynasty Baseball leagues (Having a bad start in 73 so far)
or if something moves me to do so and of course the Indulgence Calendar will go up every month.
I regret that I didn’t score that final Donald Trump interview for you all and in addition to finding me here you will find me regularly on WQPH 89.3 FM’s Your Prayer Intentions and of course I’ll be at Pintastic NE every year scarf and fedora in hand although the camera will be optional from this point on.
I hope you found that last 15 plus years entertaining and informative. I’m very proud of that but most proud of the title I once held as “the hardest working person in the blogosphere”. And I thank all those who have had good things to say about the blog from Steve Bannon to Donald Trump, Pam Geller, Robert Spencer, the Granite Grok gang and of course Stacy McCain who I learned an awful lot from.
I’ve been all over the country and met amazing people everywhere because America is an amazing place full of amazing people. I shown and told you things as they were and have given my honest opinion unspun by cash or power. In return you have given me your time and support.
I will take the joy of those things to my grave, you’ve all made my life better. I won’t forget it.
