The Last Post (For Now)

   I am, in fact, wrapping up this blog. Maybe not permanently, but at least for the time being. The "why" is simple. After going over past posts, a pattern has emerged. That pattern shows me I've been teeing off on 3 main topics lately. They are (in no particular order) religion, Kim Jung Un and the Kardashians.
   While I've had a lot of fun skewering all 3 at length, I find there is increasingly less and less to say about them. Which might be for the best. The big problem is I seem to have run out of anything remotely new or interesting to say about this and/or other topics. I also find I have less and less time to devote to this page, which sort of goes hand in glove with the first problem.
   So, after a grand total of 447 posts over the past few years, it's time to quit. As I indicated in the title, this is not a final good-bye, but rather "farewell". Like the old James Bond movie title "Never say never".
   To all my followers, I say "thank you". And who knows. I might pop in from time to time if anything I feel is urgent or pressing, outrageous or whatever turns up.
   Until the next time:
   'Nuff said.

It's Been A Long Time

   For which I apologize. It has been a long, long time since I turned my attention to this blog, something I'll work to address in the future.
   In my last post, I think I indicated I was having trouble posting images here, due to the switch to windows 10. I have yet to get that corrected, but I'll soldier on.
   There are a couple of things on the Ratbag radar today, starting with an old favorite, misbehaving priests. Seems one was fired recently after he "came out". This guy apparently worked at the Vatican in the doctrinal area. But he wasn't fired for being gay (what a shock!), but rather for bringing the topic of same-sex partnerships up ahead of a major event discussing families.. Here I though priests were supposed to give up the "pleasures of the flesh" when they took their vows or whatever. Oh, yeah,. Silly me. That doesn't seem to stop them preying on parishioners, especially young kids.
   Which brings me to another priest. And I'll be fair to this guy by saying he's not in deep shit for being a kiddie diddler. He did something just a bit more outrageous than that. He pointed a functioning musket at the head of an 8 year old boy. Why? What happened? Did they get in a fight about football? Actually, yeah. They did. Seems the priest is a New York Giants fan, the kid roots for the Dallas Cowboys. No word if the gun was loaded, but still! Anyway, buddy faces charges, which he has pleaded not guilty to.
   Finally, it seems conservation officers in Victoria, B.C subdued a cougar that was spotted around town. Of the 4-legged variety. It was tranquillized and shipped out of town. If it'd been the 2-legged kind of cougar, it would likely have been seen in the bar district, and officers would've used a Mojito or 2 to tranquillize her..
