While on a mission to the ISS (International Space Station), two of America's
finest gynonauts were sent on some sort of repair mission outside the ISS
itself, as reported by the everything nerdy
<a href="https://scitechdaily.com/spacewalk-snafu-astronauts-lose-tool-bag-in-orbital-oopsy/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SciTechDaily.com</a>. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">That's when things started going wrong. Reportedly, the gal pals were
actually tasked with two separate missions;
</span><ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">
Replace one of the 12 trundle bearing assemblies on the port solar alpha
rotary joint, which allows the arrays to track the Sun and generate
electricity to power the station. (In other words, change the batteries.)
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">
Remove and stow a communications electronics box called the Radio Frequency
Group. (But wait, there's more.)</span></li></ol><span style="font-size: medium;">
According to
<a href="https://scitechdaily.com/spacewalk-snafu-astronauts-lose-tool-bag-in-orbital-oopsy/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Geek Central</a>, only Task #1 was completed, but there wasn't enough time during the spacewalk
to complete the work for Task #2. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Supposedly, NASA is telling the world, "but
there was not enough time during the spacewalk to complete the work."
"Not enough time"? Seriously? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">How much you
want to bet the only reason they left the ISS to begin with was just to "go to
the bathroom" so they could bitch and moan about the men they have to spend all
that time with in orbit?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="The shape of things as they should be." class="wp-image-7356" height="220" src="https://kevinwhiteman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/girl_astronaut-converted-01--300x300.jpg" title="The shape of things as they should be." width="220" /></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">But in true chick-fashion, the gals did find something
to complain about; </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><em></em></span><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>"The duo lifted some multilayer insulation to make a better assessment of how
to approach the job before replacing the insulation and deferring the task to
a future spacewalk."</em> </span></blockquote></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, they left the problem unrepaired and for someone else to deal with.
But this isn't the end of the saga from Lower Earth Orbit;</span></div><div><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">"During the activity, one tool bag was inadvertently lost. Flight controllers
spotted the tool bag using external station cameras."</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">
Amazingly, NASA also claims;
</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">"The tools were not needed for the remainder of the spacewalk."</span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Riiiiiight.</em> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> I for one have a few thoughts and comments.
</span><ul>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Who was the dumbass who tasked two chicks to fix anything?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">
So, they supposedly ran out of time to make the second repair? Since when do
time constraints apply to women?
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">
Shockingly, a bag filled with undoubtedly ridiculously over-priced space
tools just so happened to float into the nothingness of space with neither
gal noticing. You can bet that if that bag had their tampons, said bag would
have been velcro-ed, super-glued, and JB Welded to their spacesuits.

<b><br /></b>
His rather schizophrenic brand of eschatology is again sowing confusion and dissent among the Faithful. <br />
<br />
As everyone by now knows, he supposedly has denied the existence of Hell.<br />
<br />
In all fairness, when I first heard this, I just blew it off as just another anti-Catholic rant.<br />
<br />
Upon looking a bit deeper into the accusation, come to find out that this was published by Eugenio Scalfari, the 93 year old professional atheist of <i>La Repubblica</i>, Italy's communist-friendly newspaper. <br />
<br />
Scalfari, famed for never taking notes or using any recording devices, only relying on his memory, is reporting that his sit-down with Bergoglio went something like this; <br />
<br />
[<i>Scalfari</i>:] Your Holiness, in our last meeting you told me that at a certain point our species will disappear, and God, always using His creative seed, will create other species. You never spoke to me about souls who die in sin and go to hell to suffer there for eternity. Instead you spoke to me of good souls who are admitted to the contemplation of God. But what of evil souls? Where do they go in punishment? <br />
<br />
[<i>Francis</i>:] They do not go anywhere in punishment. Those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and go among the ranks of those who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and therefore cannot be forgiven vanish. Hell does not exist, only the disappearance of sinful souls.
<br />
<br />
Now I'm never one to take the word of a watered-down communist, but the official Vatican response came up as being, as usual for Bergoglio, it was confusing and more than capable of sowing dissent.<br />
<br />
As reported by the <a href="http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/pope-allegedly-says-hell-doesnt-exist-in-latest-scalfari-interview">National Catholic Register</a>;<br />
<blockquote>
In a statement Thursday, the Vatican said the Pope had “recently received” Scalfari “in a private meeting at Easter, but did not grant him any interviews.”
It added that “as reported today” by Scalfari, “the article is the result of his reconstruction, in which the exact words spoken by the Pope are not quoted.” The statement said “no quotation marks in the above article should therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the Holy Father's words.”</blockquote>
What the hell is that suppose to mean?
I have a novel idea... how about just denying that he didn't just piss all over 2,000 of Catholic teaching.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-86051604785745770212018-03-30T23:16:00.000-05:002018-03-30T23:19:32.475-05:00The Cave is OPEN!Yeah, the Lair has been shut-down for over a decade, but due to popular demand, the stone has been rolled away.

If anything, I'll be going after the Novus Ordo with even more vigor than before.

First as I understand it muslims are to follow the 10 Commandments. Their prophet Mohammed who inspired, was recorded, or wrote (not clear which) the Hadith contradicts the 10 Commandments. We all know the 8th Commandment, "Thou Shalt not Bear False Witness Against thy Neighbor". Some of us have learned that muslims are not only "allowed" to lie, but are encouraged to lie in order defeat the unbeliever (non-muslims). See link for explanations.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/011-taqiyya.htm">http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/011-taqiyya.htm</a></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">As a Catholic I know of no instance where it is acceptable for me to lie. If I do I must confess my sin because I have put myself outside of God's grace. If I compound that lie by committing the act with the full awareness that I can just go to the closest Priest and confess that would be a presumption of God's mercy. This is also a sin which cannot be absolved unless spoken in a confessional as well to wit your confessor could choose not to grant absolution. That would be extreme but that is the chance you would be taking. In either case regardless of the forgiveness one would receive we learn that we are damaging our souls each time we sin. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">A Priest once told me that sin is like a nail that gets put into a fresh piece of drywall. When you go to confession the nail gets pulled out but the hole is still there, it cannot be repaired until purgatory. Catholics understand that ANY sin harms the soul and that there are no exceptions to that. Frankly any faith that tells you that you can use the tools of satan (death, force, and deciet) in order to win converts or destroy opposition is being decieved. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Muslims must begin to think long and hard on who would benefit if they were lead astray from the 10 Commandments. There is only one I know of and that is Satan. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Should this man burn the Quran? In my opinion no, but not because it would offend muslims. I don't think he should because in the end it will make it harder to convert muslims. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div>Simplex Virhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10794134630791552159noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-34880017064497811632010-09-08T04:44:00.002-05:002010-09-08T04:50:18.157-05:00<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">The Running Of The Saints</span></strong><br /><em>A tradition on the rebound here in The States?</em><br />Helmet tip to Former Altar Boy<br /><br />From <a href="http://www.stannes-sandiego.org/"><span style="color:#3366ff;">St. Anne's Catholic Church</span></a> (TLM only) in San Diego, California. My hometown!<br /><br /><dir><span style="color:#cc0000;">On Sunday July 25 2010 about 60 men of the parish "ran with the saints" as the high point for the parish's two day fiesta in honor of Saint Anne. There were two biers, one for St. Michael and one for Saint Anne. They weighed 400 and 350 pounds respectively. Eight men carried the bier itself while others on the team jogged nearby ready for their turn.<br /><br />Irving Street, which the church fronts, was closed for one half of a mile to Caesar Chavez Boulevard. The men carried the biers from the church to Caesar Chavez Boulevard and back for a round trip of one mile.<br /><br />The purpose of the exercise is to make a public statement of devotion to the saints. The Running of the Saints is like a tradition parade-like procession, but with a greater element of public devotion and penance.<br /><br />The music being played during the video is a recording of the parish choir during Mass.<br /><br />One last thing: it was NOT a race.</span></dir><br /><center><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uTKWZRCm4wk?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uTKWZRCm4wk?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="385"></embed></object></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-58713521175477038322010-09-05T05:52:00.000-05:002010-09-05T06:23:36.800-05:00<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Dog's Best Friend</span></strong><br /><em>Me and Seany-Boy</em><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhai20wqM_LaSM2U5PTuE6pV5TH1DiKA373e2VXQqiQbzTxgtsNaPBFMIgv8WpiIcBa_uN07j5jB6EmN95xwOQr4W5zn5QZmQr5PV1EswtMT9KviMCzXeYc8f05-2OlOqOd7Ajc/s1600/Kev+%26+Seanie+018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 304px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512886144051350530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhai20wqM_LaSM2U5PTuE6pV5TH1DiKA373e2VXQqiQbzTxgtsNaPBFMIgv8WpiIcBa_uN07j5jB6EmN95xwOQr4W5zn5QZmQr5PV1EswtMT9KviMCzXeYc8f05-2OlOqOd7Ajc/s400/Kev+%26+Seanie+018.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-24135558150420331892010-09-02T16:35:00.000-05:002010-09-02T16:36:21.360-05:00<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Hilarious!</span></strong><br /><em>What a Nutter(ing)<br /></em><br /><center><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmHzYWO6b0k?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmHzYWO6b0k?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="385"></embed></object></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-53673421603625467142010-08-29T15:40:00.001-05:002010-08-29T15:41:52.129-05:00<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">More 'Fruits of Vatican II"</span></strong><br /><em>Vocations plummet in Ireland<br /></em><br /><em></em>Vocations on the Emerald Isle are dropping like a stone.
