Does Lurch Count This As An Accomplishment?

John Kerry Exclaims He Is “The First Catholic Secretary Of State In 33 Years”

Via CNS News:
In an op-ed published in the Boston Globe on Easter Sunday and posted on the State Department website, Secretary of State John Kerry recalled his days as an altar boy and pointed out that he is “the first Catholic Secretary of State in 33 years.”
Alexander Haig, who served as secretary of state to President Ronald Reagan from January 1981 to July 1982, was also a Catholic.
Last month, I traveled to Rome with President Obama, where I was honored to meet His Holiness Pope Francis,” said Kerry. “As an altar boy six decades ago, I never imagined that I would find myself crossing the threshold of the Vatican to see the Bishop of Rome.”
“Today, as the first Catholic Secretary of State in 33 years, I find special joy and pride in the way that the United States can partner with the Holy See to help meet some of our greatest global challenges,” said Kerry.
Kerry supports legalized abortion. In January 2004, when he was running for president then-Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis said that Kerry should not go to communion.

Why Did Obama Hire a Top Criminal Attorney for WH Counsel?

"Very interesting stuff." MC

by KEITH KOFFLER

If I suddenly told you I was hiring Johnny Cochran to be my attorney, you’d think – well, first of all, you’d think it was peculiar, since Johnny Cochran is dead. Maybe I’m looking to save some money. But, assuming I mean the metaphorical Johnny Cochran, you’d be pretty sure I’m in some kind of really serious trouble.

Or if your wife mentioned she had hired a lawyer, and you found out the attorney specializes in . . . divorce. You’d probably start checking some apartment listings.

Which brings us to the strange case of President Obama’s decision to hire Neil Eggleston to be his new White House Counsel.

Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you, “time to lawyer up.” He’s a veteran

American Officer Writes a Letter to His Son on Hitler's Personal Stationery

Richard Helms was a US Navy officer during World War II and later the Director of the CIA. At the end of the war in 1945, he wrote a letter to his young son on Hitler's personal stationery:

“Dear Dennis,” reads the letter from Helms, then a spy stationed in Germany. “The man who might have written on this card once controlled Europe – three short years ago when you were born. Today he is dead, his memory despised, his country in ruins. He had a thirst for power, a low opinion of man as an individual, and a fear of intellectual honesty. He was a force for evil in the world. His passing, his defeat – a boon for mankind. But thousands died that it might be so. The price for ridding society of bad is always high. Love, Daddy."

Dennis Helms found the letter among the family papers in 2002. He donated it to the CIA Museum, where it is now on display.

So.

"He had a thirst for power, a low opinion of man as an individual, and a fear of intellectual honesty. He was a force for evil in the world."

      She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said, "Please don't jump! Think of your dear mother and father."

      He replied, "My mom and dad are both dead; I'm going to jump."

      She said, "Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children."

      He replied, "I'm not married, and I don't have any kids."

      She said, "Well, then you just remember the Alamo ."

      He replied, ''What's the Alamo ?''

      She replied, ‘’Well, bless your heart!  -- You just go ahead and jump you little Yankee Democrat Bastard... You’re holding up traffic!”
