And the kvetching goes on:
Does no one remember Joan Kennedy? I know she was there, but they were all acting like she never existed. How sad.

Jean Kennedy Smith?
No, Joan Kennedy, the Tedster's first wife and mother of his children. He had their marriage annulled so he could marry Vicky (no diss on Vicky). Joan has been an alcoholic for eons, and there is some friction between her and the kids. Seems the kids wanted to control her estate, and she didn't take too kindly to that. As a result, she's had a guardian appointed, and court-appointed financial overseers. HOWEVER: She was the one who was there when Teddy was being very very bad. She stood by him and propped him up. She deserves recognition.

If I had been married to that ass, I'd be an alcoholic, too.        What entitled him to an annulment?  Oh, I forgot - he was a Kennedy.   Money buys whatever you want, I guess.    I agree - Joan deserves recognition.   
I didn't watch any of the funeral.   I couldn't stand the man and I refuse to ruin my Saturday.

Thanks for posting this.   So weird.  I was thinking about the swine flu shot this morning and wondering if it would be safe.   You see,  I skipped my junior year of high school because I had passed the civil service test and went straight to work at the U.S. Dept of Justice in DC as a little GS-3 clerk-typist back in '77.  The division I was assigned to worked on the lawsuits filed against the government because of the Swine Flu vaccine.  Thousands of lawsuits...   I saw so much pain in suffering in the letters I processed.  A lot of elderly people died from the vaccine, too.   I won't be getting the swine flu shot.  just me.

The thought of not supporting Israel scares me too Sassy. They are our biggest ally and yet the stupid Kennedy's felt it necessary to change the Psalms reading, to appease their anti Israeli followers.

Gen. Honore to Run For Senate in Louisiana?   He should run for PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2009/08/gen-honore-to-run-for-senate-in.html

Can you imagine this man on the Senate floor berating the Democrats for being Stuck on Stupid? Who cares that he might oust an incumbent Republican? David Vitter has plenty of baggage, plus we can see how much the left really has transcended race when they begin attacking a black man for having the audactiy to be a Republican.
In a breaking story, The Louisiana Weekly and Bayoubuzz.com have learned that the hero of Hurricane recovery, General Russell Honore is seriously considering entering the Republican Primary for the U.S. Senate seat against incumbent David Vitter. Honore, a Republican since the Reagan Administration and a registered Louisiana voter from his Zachary home, has spoken to friends and supporters in the last two weeks signaling that he is, according to one, "more than 50% sure that he will run."

The news comes mere hours after Third District Congressman Charlie Melancon announced his firm intention to be the Democratic challenger to David Vitter in the fall of 2010. Melancon, who represents the critical swing areas of Central Acadiana--a region known for crowing statewide candidates--has already proven a serious obstacle for the incumbent Senator to keep his job. Even if Vitter should emerge victorious from the closed Republican primary, a bruising fight against Honore could leave the Senator financially and visibly weakened before the onslaught of a Moderate Democrat like Melancon--one of the leaders of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Caucus in the House.

While polls show Vitter as the clear favorite in both the primary and the general election, one very senior Louisiana Republican predicted that if Honore runs, "He wins." As that GOP party elder further explained to the www.louisianaweekly.com and Bayoubuzz on the promise of confidentiality, "All he has to say is 'Stuck on Stupid', and Vitter is toast."

Military voters, who constitute a plurality of the Republican electorate, will flock to Honore, and the party leader in question also believes that the General's race will matter to primary voters less than his social stands. Honore admitted through aides to the Weekly that he is "pro-life and pro-family".

Deenie, just got a chance to watch the video. Scary stuff. My employers don't force flu shots on us because we don't come face to face with patients, but it is encouraged to get one. We do though walk through the hospital many times a day and that is why they encourage us to get one. I'm not sure about the Swine flu vaccine, but I will get a flu shot again this year. Thanks for the video.

A wrap up of Kennedy's funeral, from a canon lawyer (that's a lawyer who specializes in Catholic law):

Some non-canonical reflections on Kennedy's funeral (from Canon lawyer Ed Peters)
In the Light of the Law ^ | August 29, 2009 | Edward N. Peters, JD, JCD

Posted on Sat Aug 29 19:27:32 2009 by NYer

The best that can be said about Ted Kennedy's funeral is, It could have been worse.

The celebrant, who strove to avoid masculine references to God in the liturgy (his verbal substitutions plainly clashing with the voices of others sticking to the approved texts), managed to forget the Mysterium Fidei during the Eucharistic Prayer, and later asked the congregation join him "in the words Our Father taught us."

The homily, which started well enough but steadily deteriorated, fell into various holes like (I'm quoting from memory): "the fruits of [Kennedy's] work in politics well-prepared him for God's kingdom" (Lord, I hope that's not what he really meant); and "Kennedy tied his faith to justice in the land" (good grief, justice? for millions of unborn babies in the land? was that the fruit of Teddy's faith?); and "we are confident that Kennedy has entered into the new dwelling of God" (maybe you are, Father).

The kid's intercessions came out as unabashed advertisements for Democratic Party policy goals.

Mercifully, all the major networks used a single video feed, and pretty obviously somebody got to somebody ahead of time and ordered "Don't, under any circumstances, show the Communion lines!", so we were spared wincing as this famous Catholic pro-abort or that approached the Eucharist.

And finally, whodathunkit?, President Obama's eulogy, though offered in violation of liturgical law, was actually the most palatable of what turned out to be three eulogies offered in violation of liturgical law, the first, Teddy Jr.'s, being maudlin, but mostly coherent if at times inappropriately partisan, while the second, that of Rep. Pat Kennedy, was embarrassingly pathetic and even included a joke about "that damn Kennedy" from the sanctuary. Sigh.

But what, in the end, most struck me, through whole ceremony, was how oblivious all the participants seemed to be (again, with the sole exception of Obama, who at least made one veiled reference to Kennedy's "public faults", and who was the only speaker to offer a prayer for Teddy's soul), how oblivious, I say, all the participants were to Ted Kennedy's disgraceful and chronic failings to defend the natural right to life (e.g., abortion, embryonic stem cell research), his refusal to protect the natural institution of marriage lately under such attack, and his bad example on a host of other issues of importance to Catholics and to the country. While a funeral is no place to rehearse, say, a man's role in the death of a beautiful young woman, such events and conduct should have, I think, instilled some restraint in the rush to proclaim the man's accomplishments. (As for those "accomplishments", well, if one is wedded to the idea of a gigantic state, then Teddy's accomplishments were admittedly many. But if you're not enamored of statism, one might say that the damage Teddy helped inflict on the nation was great.) Instead, one speaker after another gushed on and on about Ted.

The whole experience left me less hopeful about "dialogue" on life issues (not that I was very hopeful to begin with): we are, it seems clear, talking to people who have no sense of the enormity of the crimes being committed daily against the innocent. None. None.

So, as I said, the best one can say about Ted Kennedy's Catholic funeral (to which, yes, he had a right, in accord with law) is, it could have been worse.

I suppose.

The homily, which started well enough but steadily deteriorated, fell into various holes like (I'm quoting from memory): "the fruits of [Kennedy's] work in politics well-prepared him for God's kingdom" (Lord, I hope that's not what he really meant); and "Kennedy tied his faith to justice in the land" (good grief, justice? for millions of unborn babies in the land? was that the fruit of Teddy's faith?); and "we are confident that Kennedy has entered into the new dwelling of God" (maybe you are, Father).

The kid's intercessions came out as unabashed advertisements for Democratic Party policy goals.

Mercifully, all the major networks used a single video feed, and pretty obviously somebody got to somebody ahead of time and ordered "Don't, under any circumstances, show the Communion lines!", so we were spared wincing as this famous Catholic pro-abort or that approached the Eucharist.

And finally, whodathunkit?, President Obama's eulogy, though offered in violation of liturgical law, was actually the most palatable of what turned out to be three eulogies offered in violation of liturgical law, the first, Teddy Jr.'s, being maudlin, but mostly coherent if at times inappropriately partisan, while the second, that of Rep. Pat Kennedy, was embarrassingly pathetic and even included a joke about "that damn Kennedy" from the sanctuary. Sigh.

But what, in the end, most struck me, through whole ceremony, was how oblivious all the participants seemed to be (again, with the sole exception of Obama, who at least made one veiled reference to Kennedy's "public faults", and who was the only speaker to offer a prayer for Teddy's soul), how oblivious, I say, all the participants were to Ted Kennedy's disgraceful and chronic failings to defend the natural right to life (e.g., abortion, embryonic stem cell research), his refusal to protect the natural institution of marriage lately under such attack, and his bad example on a host of other issues of importance to Catholics and to the country. While a funeral is no place to rehearse, say, a man's role in the death of a beautiful young woman, such events and conduct should have, I think, instilled some restraint in the rush to proclaim the man's accomplishments. (As for those "accomplishments", well, if one is wedded to the idea of a gigantic state, then Teddy's accomplishments were admittedly many. But if you're not enamored of statism, one might say that the damage Teddy helped inflict on the nation was great.) Instead, one speaker after another gushed on and on about Ted.

The whole experience left me less hopeful about "dialogue" on life issues (not that I was very hopeful to begin with): we are, it seems clear, talking to people who have no sense of the enormity of the crimes being committed daily against the innocent. None. None.

So, as I said, the best one can say about Ted Kennedy's Catholic funeral (to which, yes, he had a right, in accord with law) is, it could have been worse.

I suppose.

Thanks Tevye, I hadn't read this post from Ed Peters. I have been looking at his son's blog to see if anything had been posted about the funeral, and saw nothing. I am very glad I skated today and didn't watch the fiasco. Especially changing the Psalms  . When I go to the great beyond, I want a proper funeral Mass with all the bells and whistles, but I don't want it to go against the GIRM or Canon Law.

I wish that Mary Jo Kopechne's (God rest her soul) funeral had been televised back in the day. Then we could compare and contrast.

Plus that second kid that led the Prayers of the Faithful, needs a haircut and a pair of pants that fit. JMO JSM

Me make Big Post - Big Huge - Needed though.

Monkeys - I beg you to watch the vids I posted. Its all groovy - Its not boring to listen to, its  facts, its Truth by a American ..who has his words backed with govt websites.
It is a easy watch and will actually make you want to hear more from this Guy.

Sassy I thank you for your reply.  I myself have never had a Flu shot. I have never believed in them. That is not me being arrogant. That is not me being a smart Axx. That is what I have been told by my Father who served as a Medic in the Korean War as a Corpsman. My Brother was a Corpsman too served many years later pre Gulf War - He says the Same. Both have told me Do NOT ever Ever receive a Govt created vaccine. They both stand and say it may Kill you or worse mame you for life.  There is a reason WHY they The GOVT cause Mass Hysteria and it is not the Illness to Fear - Its the Vaccine. They have an agenda people. They Do. Its Called MONEY and New World Order. With everyone being laid off, Homeless and or in Foreclosure, no Health Care ..why Not hit them at their very knees - Health. WE will give you Free Swine Flu vaccine ..and FEAR by the Truck load... you uninsured ..cant even pay your bills..about to lose your house... No job ... Let ME help you prevent unwanted illness. 

take a Peek at this site -
http://www.thehealingpraxis.com/OperationFaxtoStoptheVax.html

This woman who has started this campaign has received death threats - WHY
Because her Message is REAL and not Govt.
I don't care if I have to post this 100 times - I wish that No Monkeys nor their Family Members receives the Swine Flu Vaccine. It has been given to Europeans and caused DEATH to many.

If you" Anyone" can find a site on the internet that shows and validates what is in a (compounds/ ingredients) Swine Flu Vaccine? I can't find it. But if you do and You Find that what is in that syringe is SAFE to be administered into your Blood stream  and or your child's body for that matter .. Let Everyone know please. For a Flu "Swine Flu" that has only killed 500 hundred ppl World Wide in the last year - when the actual Flu " Common Flu" kills up to 35k a year due to many reasons.

The Homicides in Chicago 2009 to date are Higher in Fatality than there are Victims that have died from the Swine Flu ( 100% cause of Death Swine Flu) in the world 2009. NOW since Everyone has said Hell NO to Obama's Health Care - The Swine flu is Pandemic. It suddenly is to ravage the USA - to the point that even City workers are going to be given powers as a police officer. Not kidding.
Agendas within
The other Agenda they Have is weeding out those who they feel are not wanted in society. That be the Elderly and the Sick. And Yet they Demand them to have the Swine Flu Vaccine first. I am not making this up - Its real.
This is most imperative  - A video that ALL should Watch. It is on C-Span ! Not Youtube.
This is the GOVT People creating and making your life to be - within possibly the next few months. Just push play on the Red Button that says Flash
http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&tID=5&src=atom&atom=todays_events.xml&products_id=288456-1

The Meeting. The Agenda in PDF file - What they the Govt Discussed to Happen within the Next Months in the USA.
http://www.new-fields.com/ISFC/brochure.pdf

This is all unfolding right now - not tomorrow. Right Now.
You all know me to be a Joker, Music player, I am not joking and the only music I can think of to add to this is Gospel - meaning Prayer... Because when I see an actual document that is written by the advisers to Pres Barack Obama ..of what comes down to basic Martial Law.

All I can do is Pray.
Read Yourself
White House Document
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidents-Council-of-Advisors-on-Science-and-Technology-PCAST-releases-report-assessing-H1N1-preparations/

I hope you read, hope you watch and I pray for all of us.
Its not hype people - Its here, its now.
