Rant - Read at Your Own Risk...

There are 7 Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride - the 7 Deadly Sins as handed down centuries ago by the Roman Catholic church. The mainstay of the "7" was handed down by Pope Gregory the Great during the 6th century.

There are 10 Commandments (paraphrased): You shall have no other gods before Me; No graven images; you shall not take the name of the Lord in vain; Remember the Sabbath; Honor your father and mother; Do not murder; Do not commit adultry; Do not steal; Do not lie; Do not covet.

A wise priest once said we tend to forget that there are more than 3 commandments. The last few days watching any television has driven me nuts.

The newest Papal addition has decided that we need seven more deadly sins to worry about. All the press seems to care about is one sin - adultry. While I don't condone this, I also don't think that the fact that the governor of NY having sex with call girls calls for a 24/7 media blitz. Let the man resign in humiliation and move on. We don't need to be reminded of all the politicians that have ever been caught cheating. We don't need to be reminded that Hillary Clinton stood by her husband and forgave him and worked it out.

There is no shame in loving the man you married. There is no shame in saying you want to stay with him and work it out privately. I personally admire Mrs. Clinton for doing just that. The President says he spent many nights sleeping on the couch in the White House. Good for you Hillary!

Now, I do understand that the NY Governor allegedly spent $80,000 on the prostitution service over a period of 10 years. If that was public money, get him for that. That is a sin for the court to deal with. I don't understand why Republicans are so fast at calling for impeachment when a man is caught with his zipper down. The worse thing you can do to the man is let his wife take care of it.

Let's get back to what is important: Global warming, every nation in the world with the exception of maybe Belgium hates us, the economy is in the tanker, people are loosing their homes, Roger Clemens did steroids. That should be enough to keep the news people at CNN busy.

Getting off my Liberal Soap Box now...

long days and pleasant nights.
