By Request of the Lords and Ladies of Lepanto

I wash my hands.

Vindicated

Apparently the sexual revolution was not actually a reaction against prudish Christian morality from the Victorian Age, but rather a rebellion against prudish pagan morals of the Lower Palaeolithic Age.  It started with an argument over whether fig leaves were sufficient covering.  The prudes insisted that they start killing animals and using their pelts for clothing, and the poor unhugged libertines reacted by organizing sit ins in front of animal holes and whittling naked people out of fire wood.

(For those whose sense of humor is on life-support, this is a joke.  Keep the comments jovial and friendly or stay in your cave.)

Father-Son Construction Project

Let’s stick with the practical and necessary. This will make mom proud.

All the instructions are there. A bit on the expensive side, but I bet some ingenuity and mom’s shopping expertise will solve that problem. There are also videos to aid with the construction and some tantalizing demonstrations to keep the boys motivated:

Cuddle Kitten

Oliver wants to feel in control.  He hates being picked up and pampered all the time.  He asks politely for a cat and only lashes out when Carol won’t give in.  The trick is to let him feel in control even if he really isn’t.

He’s in control all right.  Stupid humans.

Chivalry Does Not Apply to Cats

Knight Errant sends me a link to this photo as evidence for our shared opinion that cats are the most evil creatures in the universe.  Imagine, hissing at the Holy Father.

And if that is not proof enough, this should seal the kitty coffin:

Little mongrel.

Altered States of Barbiness

Congratulations to Barbie for fifty years of morally delibilating young girls.  I know, I know.  I am such a stick in the mud.

I generally avoid such sweeping condemnations, but who can blame me when the Disney Princess thing got me so much traffic.  I am a shameless opportunist.  Besides it seems the creator of Barbie was actually a sexual perv (content warning).

And while we are on the subject of cultural manipulation, here is the latest from PETA.  Nothing surprises me anymore.

Believe

It Has Begun

All you conspiracy officianados may have a go at captioning this one:

Father Angelo’s Conspiracy Corner

The truth revealed.

Now don’t anyone ever say again that I have never believed in a conspiracy.

BTW, I really do believe in the Soros conspiracy.  I am not kidding.

Guns and Babies

Conservatives love Palin because she has a Downs baby and an M-16.

That about sums it up.  Sort of.

Little known fact:  Sarah Palin doesn’t need a gun to hunt. She has been known to throw a bullet through an adult bull elk.

Sword salute to Hot Air.
