Bush to dump Cheney for Hillary

OK - you heard it here first. I bet there's a Pulitzer prize waiting for me but here's the BREAKING NEWS!

Bush is not only going to dump Cheney - but he's going to try to woo Democrats by putting together a unity ticket. And what Democrat is Bush going to pick to be his running mate? None other than HILLARY CLINTON!!!!

A Bush / Clinton ticket would be a very powerful ticket because it will attract a lot of women voters and Clinton supporters. It would alienate the Right but if its part of a plan to hold onto power - they might go for it. Besides - who else are they going to vote for? Hillary however wants to have Cheney's power and use Bush as a puppet president the way Cheney does. Bush himself doesn't have a problem with that - but Carl Rove and Donald Rumsfield hate the ticket and want to stick with Cheney.

Did you wonder why Bush was so nice to Bill Clinton last month when he came to the White House? Well - that's when Bush and Clinton struck a deal to put Hillary on the ticket. And - the real reason that the Democrats didn't want to put Hillary on the schedule originally for the Democratic Convention is because they believe the rumors might be true.

So - you might be thinking - "Perkel - you are a whaco! Do you think anyone is going to buy a story like this? Is anyone really that stupid? You're hardly a real journalist!" Well - they bought the Kerry / McCain ticket story that was just as far out and kept running it even after Kerry and McCain denied it. And you don't hear Bush denying a Bush / Clinton ticket. I may end up being wrong on this - but if Bush doesn't run with Hillary - it won't be because he didn't want to - it will be that Hillary backed out and he got stuck with his second choice.

Feel free to post this story on other blogs.

Why is anyone still Catholic?

It amazes my why anyone is sticking with the Catholic religion. What is with this cult? It appears that the Catholic Church's idea of "reform" is to overturn the laws that make them responsible for priests fucking children.

So - if you are Catholic - how can you justify giving money to an organization that opposes church responsibility for priests fucking children? The church stood by for decades knowing what was going on - covering up what was going on - and not that they are being held accountable they continue to side with child molesters.

You might ask, "Why should the whole church be held responsible for what a few preists did?" The answer is - it wasn't just a few priests - and - the church knew about it and allowed it. The church took an active part in moving these priests around to cover it up. The didn't even kick them out. The moved them to a different community where they found new fresh young boys to fuck.

So if the church didn't know about it - that would be somewhat different. But in this case the church was an active participant. So if the church has to suffer for it - that's a good thing. It sends a message to other churches that you can fuck children.

I don't think the penalty is harsh enough because the Catholics still don't get the message. The are still fucking boys - and they are still transfering and promoting the criminals who are fucking children. Cardinal Bernard Law was reciently promoted to the Vatican after being run out of town in Boston for his role in covering up for priests who were fucking children. This appointment shows clearly that the Church doesn't take the matter seriously.

If you give money to the Catholic Church - you are supporting priests fucking children.

Bishops Support Move to Overturn Law

Sue McGuire for KCBS-740 AM

(KCBS)--The priest sexual abuse scandal is moving forward on two legal fronts as cases of alleged clergy abuse wend through California courts.

Some Catholic bishops are supporting a request in federal court to overturn a law that allows decades old allegations to proceed.

KCBS reporter George Harris says the so-called Burton Law, named for its sponsor Senate President Pro Tem John Burton, drops the statute of limitations on claims of sexual abuse.

But California Catholic bishops call the law "unconstitutional."

"All of the bishops in the twelve diocese in California approved taking this position," said Maury Healy a spokesman for the San Francisco Archdiocese. He says the Burton Law unfairly targets the Catholic Church.

"In January 2003, the bishops issued a statement which warned against the effects of this law," Healy said.

He says by supporting a challenge of the Burton Law in federal court, bishops are not trying to avoid paying the enormous judgments that have been levied in lawsuits brought by alleged victims. "Portland has paid off 53-million-dollars alone."

The Southern California U.S. District Court is hearing the appeal of the Burton Law.
