THOUGHTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Methinks that the hypocritical catholic church has stuck their hand or some other sensitive body part in a bee hive by firing the director of worship at HOLY FAMILY CHURCH after he announced his engagement to his gay partner via facebook. COLIN COLLETTE has been employed by the archdiocese of chicago for 23 years and his homosexuality was well know within the church and it's parishoners. then who caused the problem?

enter our old buddy, CARDINAL FRANCIS GEORGE, who sent an email to the pastor of holy family demanding collette's resignation.  when collette refused, he was fired.
now collette is NOT priest or a deacon but rather a standard employee who i believe is entitled to the same protection and rights as all other employees in illinois.  can't wait for the litigation...........and the settlement. 

as previously stated, cardinal george is a vitriolic old man who hates the gay population and doesn't want them to be involved with the church.  george submitted his resignation last year to the pope and maybe his current insensitivity will make that happen sooner rather than later.

the ISRAEL-GAZA conflict is out of control. 1400 people killed in gaza and 60 in israel.  this is a 'no contest-no win' situation for gaza and hopefully today's 72 hour cease fire will be enough to end it as represenatives head to EGYPT to work out the details.  the photos of the dead school kids makes me sick.

hold on to your 401K's! the market fell over 300 points today and the market is afraid that interest rates will start going up after being dormant for 5 years.

talk about bad timing.  i drive by the gas station this morning and it's 3.33 a gallon.  too busy right now to stop so i'll get it this afternoon.  the stock market results are released and gas is 3.65 at 3:30 p.m. and that really sucked.

ok, give it up for the 68 year old grandma PEGGY KLEMM who got caught having sex in the pavilion of a retirement community in florida around 10:30 at night.  both players were arrested.  small problem for peggy is that her partner was NOT her husband.  peggy got 6 months as she violated her previous DUI probation. but get this: the bar located within the boundaries of the retirement communtiy has named a drink after her, SEX ON THE SQUARE. ya gotta love it.  where? just outside of orlando in THE VILLAGES. an obvious over-reaction on the part of the cops.

two thousand people die from the weather each year and take a guess what method kills the most.  tornado? nope. lightning? nope.  it's the cold which accounts for almost 1400 deaths a year.

both PAUL McCARTNEY & BILLY JOEL put on spectacular concerts this summer.  each performed about three hours. 

adios for now.
