Donald McGuire - Convicted Sex Offender
Jesus spoke of wolves in sheep's clothing. This would be one.
Defrocked Jesuit priest, Donald McGuire, who taught me at the University of San Francisco, (in a seminar on "The Greeks" ironically) cost the Chicago Jesuits almost $200,000,000 for covering up for him.
Didn't quite work out for them it would appear.
Interestingly, I attended school with Mr. McGuire's niece and two nephews. One of McGuire's nephews became an attorney and later represented a couple of the plantiffs against his Uncle Don. Good on 'em.
Clearly sociopathic, Dandy Don declared his innocence throughout this ordeal. Probably still does.
And he was not the only one. There is an entire committee rooting for the fucker.
The owner of this blog is NOT a member of that committee.
I admit to being fascinated by this case. I knew this guy. I never revered him like many other student did. He had his followers... He was dynamic, charismatic, a true and faithful orthodox priest of the Jesuit order and the Roman Catholic Church. (Sure, right.) He never pulled anything on me, but were you to look at the documentation of the things he did and how he did them often using Catholic "Confession" of young men as a catalyst for abusing them, it is right and meet that this asshole will die in prison.
Many sordid details here.
Who Are These People...
that put ads like this on internet sites?
WTF are they attempting to say by putting in a picture of an old codger while attempting to sell life insurance? Somebody is paying for this and I can't understand why? Dude is close to death so you better buy? How idiotic. Something like this works?
It appears that I care, but I really don't.

Fun Guy To Work For
I heard this article on the afternoon drive yesterday and had a couple of thoughts.
It's not looking good people. We can put you in the smallest cage we can find but cheer up, at least you have a job.
I love this guy Panzer, a fitting name for a Schpleader:
Panzer says it's all fair game when you're looking to cut costs.
“The way we say it at our office: if you show me one company that's expanding I can show you five that are downsizing,” he says.
Summary:
If workers aren't thrilled about all the downsizing, there might be some comfort in knowing that at least it's just their cubicles getting whacked, and not them.
Some comfort.
Apparently all kinds of things can be inflicted on people, as long as Panzer isn't whacking them.
I always say put enough mice in a small enough cage and they begin to eat each other, not the same as feeding off each other. Comments after the article are worth reading too.
It's a target rich environment for Chief and me.

Pentecost Sunday
As best, I am a bad, wayward Christian and "he of little faith." 
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

The News Media Is Even Worse Than You Think
It’s become a cliché these days to say you don’t trust the media. But you know what? You’re right not to do so.
A sobering piece to be sure.
Would be pretty hard to argue effectively against this dude.
Occasionally I will stumble on Diane Sawyer on ABC's World News Tonight.
North Korea is threatening to nuke us (capable or not) and it gets 2 minutes or so. Then there was the story of the cross-dressing anorexic panda bear in China that gets 3.

A Sensitive Matter
Perhaps, just perhap, nah, Al Gore will calm down a bit.
This article from the widely respected The Economist, reveals that climate scientistsalarmists are scratching their intelligent heads these days.
The mismatch between rising greenhouse-gas emissions and not-rising temperatures is among the biggest puzzles in climate science just now. It does not mean global warming is a delusion. Flat though they are, temperatures in the first decade of the 21st century remain almost 1°C above their level in the first decade of the 20th. But the puzzle does need explaining.
Hmm. It's mid-May and it's the first I have heard about this. And this article was March 30. Wonder why?

The Shitstorm Cometh
It looks like the formerly great New York Times is doing some hard journalism for a change:
But the inspector general made clear that effort did not reach the attention of high-level I.R.S. officials until 2011 at the earliest.
But the inspector general made clear that effort did not reach the attention of high-level I.R.S. officials until 2011 at the earliest.
The inspector general gave Republicans some fodder Friday when he divulged that he informed the Treasury’s general counsel he was auditing the I.R.S.’s screening of politically active groups seeking tax exemptions on June 4, 2012. He told Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin “shortly after,” he said. That meant Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.
The disclosure last summer came as part of a routine briefing of the investigations that the inspector general would be conducting in the coming year, and he did not tell the officials of his conclusions that the targeting had been improper, he said.
Treasury officials stressed they did not know the results until March 2013, when the inspector presented a draft.
This article is a must read if you are at all concerned about the IRS Political kerfluffle.
Update: But wait. There's more!
Recall that I said the formerly great NYT.
