"in his current position as auxiliary bishop of the Washington Archdiocese has called on Americans to oppose Trump’s mass deportation / ethnic cleansing agenda."
This is the kind of Catholic plot twist that makes MAGA reach for the smelling salts.
A man once dismissed by the immigration panic machine as “illegal” becomes a bishop, then an archbishop, then a living reminder that Jesus did not say, “Blessed are the properly documented, for they shall inherit the visa queue.”
The border can be a wall, or it can be a meeting place. One produces fear merchants. The other produces saints, bishops, neighbors, and the occasional spiritual wedgie for Donald Trump.
Just another late Saturday night writing about courts and democracy.

The record label forced them to put a bandaid over that image. Like the title, it was a comment on the fact that they were falling apart as they recorded the album.
Watching Nils Lofgren opine on his legacy and context, my eyebrows raised slightly when he would refer to playing music as a "hobby," which was a lot of times.
Yeah, he sounds like a real dangerous guy, a"bad hombre" who needs to be stomped by Reichsfuhrer z.b.v. 1 Miller's masked thugs.
Also, I wonder how many Salvadors there are in West-by-God-Virginia

I wonder how Catholics there are in WV?

This new Pope is SAVAGE, and I am here for it.
This is also a nice time, at least one thumb in the eye of America's Pilonidal Cyst.
That's my Pope!

These days, proper documentation isn't good enough
He didn’t do it to piss off the pedo. He did it without giving a second thought to the felon.
Fat Donnie will NEVER wield the power of the Pope. Really, really burns his ass!
Donnie's ass burning? Oh the stink, the stink!
Trump seems to be considering open conflict with the Vatican. Way better people than him have tried that, none have succeeded.

Joy To The World
Great singles band.
Albums spotty, as far as I can tell.
I recommend Cyan, which coincidentally has the most band-penned material on it.
They had a string of hits, and a unique sound. Always fun to listen to.
An incredible load of hits, almost all written by other people. They were the exception to the “gotta write your own songs to make it big” rule.
That was why they didn’t get respect at the time.
Do not get in the way of Paul Williams fans, I'll tell you what.
“Out in the Country” and “Family of Man” and great songs.
In addition to not listening to their album Hard Labor, do not even search up the album cover.
I swear, do not do that.
The record label forced them to put a bandaid over that image. Like the title, it was a comment on the fact that they were falling apart as they recorded the album.
Hmm.
Here it is: https://www.discogs.com/release/566745-Three-Dog-Night-Hard-Labor/image/SW1hZ2U6NDg5ODkwNzI=
IIRC, the copy I had as a kid, ABC had put a manila file folder over the offending pic.
I can't tell what's offensive about it.
Even the fishes get the joy!

Springsteen needed a guitar slinger in the band, Nils was perfect.
Just 2 days ago I listened to all of Nils' first live album, "night after Night"
Great stuff, with Nils' foil, bassist/vocalist Wornell Jones.
Ugh, now I have to confess that that's the one I have, somewhere.
Neil Young too.
Tonight's the Night might be my favorite of his and Nils is all over it.
I confess that I have no more than one Nils Lofgren solo albums, I swear!
Nils on guitar, Neil on piano

Yeah, I like how Neil, who's usually kind of buttoned up, evinces some raw emotion in the vocal performance.
