Carsten was 65.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carsten, a Gary native, originally came to Fort Wayne in 1965 and served as head pastor of St. Andrew's and St. Hyacinth's Catholic churches. He also served as an assistant pastor at other Fort Wayne churches before he left the city and the Catholic Church to become an Episcopal priest in the Michigan City area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There, Carsten was publicly criticized by an Episcopal bishop for his homosexuality in 1990 after he was forced to leave the church because of homosexual behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That shunning led Carsten to start the Orthodox Catholic Church of America, which has no ties to the Roman Catholic Church and welcomes members from various backgrounds, including Catholic, Methodist and Lutheran. Members can maintain practices of their church affiliations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carsten was elected archbishop of the church earlier this decade. , He saw the church's membership grow from 33 founding organizers and members to nearly 90 members worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Skip was one of those people who would always ask, ‘Is this what the Gospel would want us to do?'” said Bishop Robert Zahrt of Fort Wayne. “We used to joke that Skip knew everybody. And everybody that knew Skip felt that he was one of their best friends. He just didn't do a pastoral call, he became involved with people, and many people became his friends. He was a phenomenal man.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carsten is survived by his mother, Isabelle, of Auburn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;+++++++++++&lt;br /&gt;+Skip did not found OCCA but he did give it a shot of energy.&lt;br /&gt;www.orthodoxcatholicchurch.org&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-731576317321290576?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/731576317321290576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=731576317321290576' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/731576317321290576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/731576317321290576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2009/03/from-fort-wayne-newssentinel.html' title=''/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-7816062972025328504</id><published>2009-03-28T19:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-28T19:29:44.866-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Archbishop Carsten Dead.</title><content type='html'>Metropolitan Archbishop E.

Reading their stories is very revealing to me about them and about me. About 75% of the stories are whinny. And I really dislike whinny. "My mother didn't love me. My father didn't love me. The police always pick on me." As the Eagles sang , “Get over It.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I do have good stories about people who felt they weren't loved. Like the guy whose parents sold him for five dollars and the other guy who was adopted by a whore. Now a lot of these folks are going tolose some energy with Obama being in the White House and his story of his father skipping out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; But this blog entry is about how these stories got me thinking about me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;This is going to sound whinny, and as I said I hate whinny. But nobody reads this piece of shit but me anyway so I can feel safe that no one will accuse me of wallowing in self pity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; I just realized, like in the past week, that most of the important people in my life didn't like me. They didn't hate me or despise; I wasn't that important, but they didn't like me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; I guess they loved, if they were supposed to,  because there was a biological imperative, but they didn't like me. And because of that, I haven't been very good at liking other people. Since this goes way back, to infancy I didn't realize that people didn't like me. People that I thought were friends, those by whom I measured “liking” didn't really show me deep friendship. Of course, I might not have been very likable. People whom I thought were friends have come to me 30 years later telling me how they sabotaged my career. I guess they were seeking forgiveness. They were certainly surprised that I didn't know they had treated me poorly. So I have come to the conclusion that I have been unable to recognize or differentiate between friends and enemies until very recently. Perhaps I'll feel motivated to make a list of those I thought liked me but didn't. Certainly this is something I teach patients to do. I guess it is time I get honest and do it for my self.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I do want to mention those in the present who have made me realize who my friends are. First there is Karen. Next John and Kate. I  learned from them what it feels like to be liked. I have failed at showing them I like them. I hope to do a better job of that in the future. I hope this wasn't too whinny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-7031151671225900566?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/7031151671225900566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=7031151671225900566' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/7031151671225900566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/7031151671225900566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-never-knew-you-didnt-like-me.html' title='I never knew you didn&apos;t like me'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-5703559316823432447</id><published>2009-01-12T16:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-12T16:46:43.137-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kate replys.

I guess bald, fat men have a common bond, though. I got him some booze. I've learned that it helps the ))))****** get through the holidays. You know I was dating vernal-bernal. I"m guessing we're not anymore cause he hasn't called since i came back to moosehead...bastard. That's fine, he's not getting any from me then! But really, how are you and mrs. claus? How is rudolph? I sent some pears up your way. I thought he'd like more for dessert. Just keep him away from the jack-in-a-boxes because i know he likes to throw up in those the best. Some kid's gonna be pissed at you come december if that's not found in time.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I'm at work at school. So that's why I"m writing you a letter because they don't pay me enough to actually do shit. Well, stay chill about living on the north pole and stuff. Stop smoking all the north pole weed.

I presume they still make you read that in school. Well in 2009 broadcasters are giving us this century's version of the Wise Man's gift, and just like O'Henry's story this one is chock full of irony.It's the suicide of broadcast TV.&lt;br /&gt;As they make local broadcast TV essentially unreceivable; they program it with programs that are not worth watching. We've been told Fox will be broadcasting infomercials next year. So with each channels having several tiers of channels we can expect lots of programming for the likes of Christian Thigh Master and B'ai' Butt Builders.&lt;br /&gt;February 17, 2009 DTV arrives and analog TV disappears. Broadcasters begged for this wonderful DTV- TV. It's low power. Most people can't get it on &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BROADCAST&lt;/span&gt;. And after all this is called broadcast TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;OK DTV  comes and here's what happens. People actually reach the point that they discover watching TV is pointless. Kids play video games. They text each other. Adults play on their computer. They talk to each other. They touch each other.They read to their kids. Oh, the irony. TV self distructs. TV is like AM radio with Rush and Bill and Dr. Weiner. Only the special people, those "in the know" will watch TV.

Let's kill Christmas. It's been taken over by Happy Holidays, Kwanzaa, Chanukah.. Mostly it's been taken over by the retailers who have to make their nut during December or the whole year is a bust. We have to secularize Christmas so we don't offend anyone with money to spend. Fine. Let them have it. Forget about being a holiday, let alone Holyday. Let's just go to work like any other day. The overwhelming majority of Christians don't go to church on Christmas day anyway. So why the big deal? Exchange presents if you want to. Put Santa on your lawn or don't. Who cares? Certainly there's no need to go spending money on gifts for the noncelebration of a nonholiday. If you want to go to church in the middle of the week that's fine. Of course most churches don't even have Christmas services. So don't worry about it, Holyday. Just kill Christmas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Narkisim;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;This way we don't offend anybody. We just get honest. We exchange gifts to keep capitalism going. Because that's way more important than any spiritual symbolism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Narkisim;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Just kill Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-1648805215069636900?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/1648805215069636900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=1648805215069636900' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/1648805215069636900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/1648805215069636900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/12/lets-kill-christmas.html' title='Let&apos;s Kill Christmas'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-8724802740822171427</id><published>2008-12-13T18:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T18:29:11.089-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fatherhood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='santa'/><title type='text'>santa's letter to kate</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;&lt;meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 2.4  (Win32)"&gt;&lt;style type="text/css"&gt; 	&lt;!-- 		@page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } 	--&gt; 	&lt;/style&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Official North Pole Stationary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;From the Desk of Santa &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Dear Kate,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;This is the second letter I've written to you today.

NO accusation, deprication, implication, indictment of Rainbow intended. (Ha, I make myself laugh)  (I mean ho, not ha.)

She used to enjoy it when your father would yell at you to practice and you'd yell back that the teacher said the problem was you practiced too much. The elves would laugh so hard they'd mess up the toys they were making. Barbie had 3 boobs. Elmo said dirty words. Every one was rolling on the floor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Well young lady, it's time for me to get down to it and have a heart to  heart talk with you about these boys you've been dating. Are they good enough for you? Are they truly committed to Greek Life? Are they willing to let your father live in  your basement after you get married?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Did you hear your father got lost coming back from Indianapolis?  It took him about 8 hours. He ran out of gas and had to stop and buy more (and ask for directions from a guy who said he was an undercover  policeman. The policeman had no teeth and drove a 1973 chevy pick up. He wore an I U baseball cap. It was red to match his pick up. He said I had real purty lips. (I mean your dad has purty lips. That's what the policeman said, I mean, he said,I guess.)  Your mom tells him he's safe on the roof. That way he can catch a ride with me and come back to the North Pole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Mrs. Claus says the more pills I take, the better it is. I mean your mother says the more pills your father takes, the better it is. I get confused sometimes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Oh, your brother and father are going on Maury Povich. They are going to have a DNA test done. Your mother says your brother is the son of the UPS man or as John says the PS man. Someone at Target said, if John can prove the UPS man is his father, John can sue UPS and get enough money to go to that special school we all know he needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,cursive;"&gt;Well this piece of poop has begun to get crumbly.

He's bringing back an old nemesis so I can continue to work on my character defects. Evidently I am getting so near to perfection that has given me a chance for a do over on an old enemy..&lt;br /&gt;If you've been reading my blogs you may remember the going away party we held for Rusty (not his real name). Well the party--which did not include him- was evidently premature. The rumors have been rampant (nice alliteration) for about 2 months that he was coming back. But we all thought that it was like the devil. You know, something made up by the people in charge to keep us on our toes.&lt;br /&gt;Actually it turns out that he's more like one of those torn wrinkled dollar bills you can't get rid of. It won't work in the coke machine. When you try to spend it at a store people look at it kind of  funny. Yeah, like people are going to bother to counterfeit a one dollar bill! Just when you think it's finally gone baboom, babbing you get it back in change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you figure, God must want you to keep this dollar bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I figure God must want me to work with this guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the guy who reported me for having a messy desk. Like a real formal warning to the vice president, that I officially do have a messy desk. Yeah, so I should get over it.&lt;br /&gt;I have three college degrees. More letters behind my name than in my name, thirty years expirience my field and he writes me up for having a messy desk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know who the Jews in the concentration camps hated the most?&lt;br /&gt;Who was hated the most by the Jews incarcerated in the Nazi concentration camps?&lt;br /&gt;Generals, No&lt;br /&gt;Doctors, No&lt;br /&gt;Poles, No&lt;br /&gt;Catholics, No&lt;br /&gt;Hitler, No&lt;br /&gt;Policemen, Yes&lt;br /&gt;The Jews who turned against their own  and became policemen; they were hated, most of all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet some of those Jews were able to love their policemen.The Jews couldn't even claim to have the example of Jesus. They just forgave because of the greatest commandment and the second one like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he is just like the devil. We don't want him to be real but he is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have some work to do.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks a lot, God.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-1669607820587912875?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/1669607820587912875/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=1669607820587912875' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/1669607820587912875'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/1669607820587912875'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/11/just-when-i-thought-i-was-perfect-gods.html' title='Just when I thought I was perfect, God&apos;s not finished with me yet'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-3920103305411501438</id><published>2008-11-16T09:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-16T09:31:12.529-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stephen king'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wierd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friendship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><title type='text'>Lessons learned from Stephen King's  Secret Window</title><content type='html'>Stephen King wrote&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Secret Window&lt;/span&gt;. It was a story turned into a movie. A friend of mine, AJ, lent me the DVD to watch.  I enjoy Stephen King's writing very much. Once, during a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Playboy&lt;/span&gt; interview he was asked why he writes such wierd scary stuff? His reply was, "What makes you think I have any choice?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AJ and I have known each other for about four years. He was a student intern where I work. It turned out I mentored him. We became very good friends.&lt;br /&gt;We spent lunch breaks smoking cigars at Starbucks like Dennie and Allen from Boston Legal;  discussing theology and philosophy and wives and drug addiction and the election and Orthodox Christianity. AJ was like my alter ego. He was a gift to me in my autumn years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then AJ quit his job. We no longer work together. I think it was a good move on his part for several reasons that don't need to be enumerated. But now he's gone. And I encouraged him to go.&lt;br /&gt;The last time we met was at Barnes and Noble-no cigars- but Starbucks Coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He gave me the DVD of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Secret Window&lt;/span&gt; to watch. I had seen it before, but I watched it last night. It's about this author, he writes books not blogs, who is confronted by a man who accusses the main character "Mort" (obviously death) of plagarizing a story. The bad guy author-John Shooter- commits all kinds of awful crimes.  John is sinsister looking and wears a wierd hat. His purpose is trying to get "Mort" to change the ending of the story &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Secret Window&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Well, You probably know the end. There is no John Shooter. Mort has completely disassociated and gone over the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strange thing now is no one at work remembers AJ. And I have this funny hat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-3920103305411501438?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/3920103305411501438/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=3920103305411501438' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/3920103305411501438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/3920103305411501438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/11/lessons-learned-from-stephen-kings.html' title='Lessons learned from Stephen King&apos;s  Secret Window'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-810462800808064659</id><published>2008-11-15T14:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T15:15:21.394-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Spock beat Kirk in Election</title><content type='html'>If Mr. Spock is Obama, then Captain Kirk would have to be McCain. So Kirk's first  mistake was picking a female first officer from Nigel 4. She could actually see Klingon from her window. Her house was right on the edge of the neutral zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Kirk usually picked up a honey every episode. They were all chosen for their brains. (Ha, Ha, I made a joke.) OK there is Kirk's first mistake. Not that its a female. NO not that she was dumb, her IQ was 126, not great but alright.&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; BLOND &lt;/span&gt;She wasn't a blond. Kirk always chooses a blond. He should have chosen a blond, one with big poofy hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides running mate, Kirk simply wrecked too many starships. By one count three, possibly as high as five. People don't forget stuff like that, even if you are a hero. What do those thing cost? Five million each? Five million here, five million there pretty soon you're talkin' real money...national deficit and all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's that mavericky thing. Remember at the Starship Academy how he solved the unsolvable challenge by breaking the rules? How do think all the other captains and admirals thought? "Oh, jolly good Kirk. Pip, Pip break the rules and all that. Carry on. Take my promotion. Screw my wife. Good show!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Not likely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mavericks get eaten by wolves when the rest of the herd abandons them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, he chose not to go negative. Where was Spock really born? Was his father Stazshu not Surak? And the big one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Is he really a Klingon?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was certainly educated in Klingon Schools. And what of the changes in Klingon facial FEATURES? The early pictures of the Klingons show them appearing much close to Vulcan facial features than the later portrayals. Was this a conspiracy to plant Obama I mean Spock in the Federation? Didn't he used to be much greener?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when he dressed in traditional garb?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Wiener and the other defenders of talk radio staked their reputations on this election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Obama, I mean Spock won.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Does this mean that Michael and Rush and Bill and Sean are just bags of last year's flatus? Of course not.&lt;br /&gt;Obviously it's a conspiracy. It's an intergalactic, commie pinko, leftist SDS conspirisy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wait for 2012 when Cheany and Rove ==I mean Q and Kahn run for president.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-810462800808064659?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/810462800808064659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=810462800808064659' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/810462800808064659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/810462800808064659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/11/spock-beat-kirk-in-election.html' title='Spock beat Kirk in Election'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-7079958836436220247</id><published>2008-11-14T18:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T18:48:02.135-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bishops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roman catholic obama voters'/><title type='text'>Roman Catholic priest says OBAMA voters need confession</title><content type='html'>Hooray!! a Roman Catholic Priest said in no uncertain terms that voters who voted for Obama must go to confession before they can receive communion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But his bishop said it isn't so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fr.

Here's one take from Rome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;CHICAGO, Illinois, NOV. 6, 2008 (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.zenit.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Zenit.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;).- More than half of U.S. Catholics voted Tuesday for a presidential candidate at odds with the Church's stance on issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, despite the urging of more than 50 heads of dioceses to support pro-life candidates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.zenit.org/article-24180?l=english&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And conservative US news papers are equally disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;"Six months ago the pundits were predicting that President-elect Obama would not do well with Catholic voters," said Steve Krueger, national director of the Boston-based group Catholic Democrats. "The fact that Senators Obama and [Joseph R.] Biden reversed a trend, since 1996, of white ethnic Catholics defecting to the Republican Party in presidential elections is of historic significance." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/07/catholic-voters-heavily-favored-obama-analysis-sho/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roman Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Obama. The most outspoken Roman Catholics, but not spokesmen and certainly not majority, do not see the church in the people but the church in Rome. Indeed many are frightened of the changes that have occurred in the American political climate. Who can predict how the Holy Spirit will lead the Church? Surely those in power are afraid of losing power.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-2105284626054685431?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/2105284626054685431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=2105284626054685431' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/2105284626054685431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/2105284626054685431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/11/roman-curch-afraid-of-obama.html' title='Roman Church afraid of Obama'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-8330714335286540812</id><published>2008-11-07T18:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T19:07:03.274-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HELL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roman catholic obama voters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abortion'/><title type='text'>All Catholics who voted for Biden Condemned to HELL</title><content type='html'>A bishop in Florida wrote Joe Biden an open letter regarding receiving communion.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Since the letter was released to the news media it is possible that the intended audience for the letter was larger than just Joe Biden. Typically when a pastor is addressing a specific individual regarding behaviours which might be considered sinful, that information is shared in private. The reason for this is that even an esteemed individual, such as a bishop is not able to look inside and read an other person's mind or soul or spirit. To pretend to have such insight might warrant the examination of one's own conscience. Senator Biden and Congress woman Pelosi irritated Roman Catholic leaders as well as many other conservative religious leaders when they rightfully recalled the today's official pronouncement on the commencement of life was not always the belief of the universal church and as science learns new means of expressing God's wonders, the church may in the future again change her mind about when life begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so to follow this thought, it was implied that Roman Catholics who voted for Obama-Biden were committing a grave sin. I don't think any bishop issued a direct condemnation but certainly there was innuendo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millions of Catholics voted for Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if a guy voted for Obama. Then walked out of the polling place and died.  Did he go to hell?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I'd really like to get a clear message on this. Is it a mortal sin to vote for a politician who has other concerns than abortion rights? If really is a matter of individual conscience--say so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does the Roman Church expect out of politicians? out of voters? Does the church prefer as Joseph Benedict seems to imply, that those who disagree  with the magisterium stay away? Does that include donations in the Sunday offering plate to&lt;div class="cssButtonOuter"&gt;&lt;div class="cssButtonMiddle"&gt;&lt;div class="cssButtonInner"&gt;&lt;a&gt;Save Now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;o?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-8330714335286540812?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/8330714335286540812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=8330714335286540812' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/8330714335286540812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/8330714335286540812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/11/all-catholics-who-voted-for-biden.html' title='All Catholics who voted for Biden Condemned to HELL'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-2231805229036891296</id><published>2008-11-01T17:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-02T07:48:43.962-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='television executives'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='digital TV'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ad agencies'/><title type='text'>DTV=Dud TV</title><content type='html'>Digital TV&lt;br /&gt;How's it goin' at your house?&lt;br /&gt;I don't have cable or satellite.

Just wondering...&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-6357846024392032897?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/6357846024392032897/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=6357846024392032897' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/6357846024392032897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/6357846024392032897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-got-this-in-mail.html' title=''/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-7140605688809199748</id><published>2008-10-23T18:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T18:15:17.426-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='star trek'/><title type='text'>spock</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;&lt;meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 2.4  (Win32)"&gt;&lt;style type="text/css"&gt; 	&lt;!-- 		@page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } 	--&gt; 	&lt;/style&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;2.20.2008&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spock&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;As Mr. Spock would say,"Fascinating." Actually it's pretty fascinating that Mr. Spock would say fascinating. Fascination is a human emotion and Spock was denying his human side. Computers don't find things fascinating do they?&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the fascinating thing for me was the way we as a society look at information. People and corporations are afraid of being sued to the point that everything is topsy turvy. If you are in an automobile accident you are told to never apologize and never admit guilt. Physicians are afraid to expresses sympathy to the family of a patient who has gone south because the doctor might be sued. I tried to put a quote in my blog yesterday. I gave attribution to the website it came from. Someone deleted the entire quote. When I used an idea in college without attribution it was plagiarism! Now I guess because of legal razzle dazzle, my editor, who I didn't know I had, just deletes the thing. Fascinating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was Spock an attempt to examine Jesus Christ? Star Trek and Christology; surely some one has written a book. Completely Vulcan and completely Human or half and half. Shunned, misunderstood by both his mother's people and His Father's people. In the films after TV, we had Spock dying for the human race as a part of the new Genesis. Fascinating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what would Spock think of God becoming man: highly illogical. Perhaps a trickster god like "Q", but not the genuine article. Could Spock ever completely empty himself and become human? He seemed to need to maintain a feeling of superiority. Perhaps in order to avoid that very thing, we find Christ becoming the suffering servant, devoid of divinity. Fascinating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Posted on 2.20.2008 at 5:47 PM&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-7140605688809199748?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/7140605688809199748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=7140605688809199748' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/7140605688809199748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/7140605688809199748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/10/spock.html' title='spock'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-6699426319431837345</id><published>2008-10-20T18:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-20T18:15:50.635-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ditka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='7 of 9 jeri ryan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='star trek'/><title type='text'>7 of 9 the borg, the election</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;7 of 9 the Borg- Star Trek-Jeri Ryan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you heard this yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;Jeri Ryan&lt;/span&gt; was married to the senator from Illinois.

Audi's marketing plan is two fold&lt;br /&gt;1) Bring down gasoline prices&lt;br /&gt;B) Bring up stock prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see you are playing right into their hands.&lt;br /&gt;Socialist banks, government buys Wachovia; Socialist car manufactures, government buys GM. Airlines are next.&lt;br /&gt;Soon we'll all wear &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;tiny little mustaches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And drive "peoples cars"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-8953674541856369172?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/8953674541856369172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=8953674541856369172' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/8953674541856369172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/8953674541856369172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/10/zionist-conspiracy.html' title='zionist conspiracy?'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-7295833893889527233</id><published>2008-10-11T14:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-11T14:15:55.119-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bad chili economics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='star trek'/><title type='text'>Bad Chili Rippoff</title><content type='html'>Vulvodynia here.

The grasshopper had the right idea though. He maxed out his credit cards, started cooking meth and found an 18 year old girl friend.

After reviewing several applications for the position of economic analyst we decided to go with Vulvodynia because she has a name that sounds like it should be on the BBC World Service. Vulvodynia has been inside several banks and has actually cashed checks (cheques) in a currency exchange.

These are the kids who grew up with one of the parents in a noncustodial role.&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of example let's pretend John is the non-custodial parent. He sets up a big adventure for him and his kids. They are going to spend an exciting Friday evening together. "This is going to be so exciting. We'll get to do all the things I've been promising,this Friday nite," John says.&lt;br /&gt;But alas something very important comes up and John won't be able to make it. At least this time he told us in advance. He usually just doesn't show up to pick up the kids.&lt;br /&gt;Still  the kids just love their dad. And every Friday they get ready for John to pick them up. But he either forgets or has more important stuff to do. But his loyal children still love him. They know daddies have important daddy things to do. Things that children don't understand and are best left up to daddies. And so these little abandoned children, who are very loyal, wait and wait and explain why daddy has important things to do.&lt;br /&gt;That is why McCain will get the abandoned child vote.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970956890918028804-1833066923526138667?l=stazshu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/feeds/1833066923526138667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970956890918028804&amp;postID=1833066923526138667' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/1833066923526138667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970956890918028804/posts/default/1833066923526138667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stazshu.blogspot.com/2008/09/mccain-goes-after-abandoned-childrens.html' title='McCain goes after the abandoned children&apos;s vote'/><author><name>stazshu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07228738995827679089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970956890918028804.post-6479752894535064928</id><published>2008-09-12T21:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-12T22:01:13.843-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='readers sought'/><title type='text'>all over the net</title><content type='html'>Stazshu has been posting all over the web trying to find a place where people will actually find and then read these profound thoughts.
