Friday Rant

Now, there’s a big uproar because Obama has been invited to speak at the commencement exercises at Notre Dame in May, and accept an honorary degree. Hey 55% of all Catholics voted for him. The university's president, the Rev. John Jenkins, has emphasized that the invitation to Obama "should in no way be taken as condoning or endorsing his positions on specific issues regarding the protection of life, such as abortion and embryonic stem cell research." Don’t get me wrong on this. Abortion is a sensitive topic. Are there times when it is justifiable? In my opinion - yes. But should it be a “procedure of convenience?”

Why is stem cell research such a “bad thing in the minds of many?” Unfortunately, many people misunderstand what stem cell research is really all about. The best source for stem cells is the small clump of cells that compose the early fertilized egg only a few days following conception. Folks, that is an unborn baby. Are there other sources of stem cells? Yes, and they can be cloned directly from the patient.  But this is not the area that people are so upset about. This form of stem cell research hold great promise, especially for cancer patients.

Did the 45% who didn’t vote for Obama do it on principle. Did the 55% who did vote for him, toss their Catholicism into the garbage can. Even though his position on abortion and fetal embryonic stem cell research is diametrically opposed to the belief of their Church, they did vote for him.  Was it because he represents himself as Black, and some folks feel reparation to Blacks is necessary?

He guys, he is also half white, but this fact seems to be overlooked by the media. A more appropriate a term might be "Mulatto" which denotes a person with one white parent and one black parent or a person who has black ancestry and white ancestry. In Spain a mulato denotes a small mule, which is half donkey and half horse. The term mulallad in Arabic means a person of mixed ancestry. Mulatto was an official US category during the early census years.

But today's politically correct society has determined that the word "mulatto" has perjorative connotations, and should not be used to describe someone. What in God's name is perjorative connotations, you might ask. Well, here is an example.

To call a small child a monkey is usually a term of affection.
To call an adult a monkey is usually an insult.

So, the word monkey may have pejorative connotations.

But getting back to Notre Dame, about 70% of Notre Dame Alumni (you know, the ones they rely on for donations) oppose having Obama giving the speech.  This could turn out to be a major political blunder for Obma if he receives a “less than enthusiastic” welcome.

Joining the Army
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

As the family gathered for a big dinner together, the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter's office.

There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle this new situation. "Oh, come on, quit joking," snickered one. "You didn't really do that, did you?"

"You would never get through basic training," scoffed another.

The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was just gazing at him. When she finally spoke, she simply asked, "Do you really plan to make your own bed every morning?"

A couple just started their Lamaze class and they were given an activity requiring the husband to wear a bag of sand - to give him an idea of what it feels like to be pregnant. The husband stood up and shrugged saying, "This doesn't feel so bad."

The instructor then dropped a pen and asked the husband to pick it up.

"You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the way my wife would do it?" the husband asked.

"Exactly," replied the instructor.

To the delight of the other husbands, he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, would you pick up that pen for me?"

Two men, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day, were led down to the room in which they would meet their maker. The priest had given them last rites, the formal speech had been given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants. The Warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a last request?"

To which the man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play The Macarena for me one last time?"

"Certainly," replied the warden. He turned to the other man and asked, "Well, what about you, son? What is your final request?"

"Please," said the condemned man, "kill me first."

My husband, Ray, was attempting to build a patio for the first time. He bought 100 cement blocks. Laying them out in a pattern, he discovered the chosen area was too small. He stacked the blocks against the house and cleared more space.

The next day Ray put the cement blocks back down, only to find that the ground was too hard to keep the patio level. He ordered a truckload of sand to be delivered the following morning.

Again he stacked the 100 blocks against the house. Observing all this, our next-door neighbor asked, "Ray, are you going to put your patio away every night?"

Do you take responsibility?

Take responsibility for any change you want to make in your life. Condition yourself to take the initiative to succeed in whatever change you want.

Don't use words like: "I know this won't work, but I'll *try* it anyway." Just condition yourself to go ahead and do it! Reprogram yourself, *condition* yourself, to succeed. Condition that new pattern until it's consistent, then your success will be consistent!
