The Morning Rant

"I know, let's carry out a sneaky, underhanded attack while cloaking ourselves in the robes of righteousness."

"OK, but isn't that what we always do?"

"Shut up. GOPers are gropers, right?"

"You know it."

"Buncha damn hypocrites. We all know that Mike Pence is chasing interns around his desk while he's busy not having lunch any woman except his wife."

"You're not making a lot of sense there."

"Shut up. Nobody will notice and the media will never point it out."

"But we need to appear to be non-partisan. Calling it 'Expose the GOP Gropers' makes us sound petty and cowardly."

"But aren't we though?"

"Shut up. Wait, I for it, let's call it 'Believe All Women'."

"I like it. It makes it sound like the Republicans never believe any women. Plus, it sounds all generic and ecumenical and shit."

"Also, we need a hashtag. I suggest '#MeToo'."

"'Me too' what?"

"Got groped by a GOP guy. They can all come forward and tell their stories and everyone we be obligated to believe them."

"Yes. Because 'Believe All Women.' The moral imperative will already be in place."

"Exactly. They're screwed. What could possibly go wrong?"

Let the Backpedaling and Goalpost Moving Commence!

5/16- The Village Idiot’s Apprentice asks for prayers for Anna, from Ohio, as well as the other residents and staff of her Assisted Living home. She is 99 years old, and just tested positive for Covid-19, as well as many of the staff and residents of the facility. Patient #1 has already passed.

5/16 - The Village Idiot’s Apprentice also asks for prayers for his Uncle Bill, who was hospitalized in Pennsylvania with possible a-fib.

5/19 - M needs prayers for his grandniece, Chloe, who was born with bad kidneys. She’s a year old now, her kidneys have been removed, and she is on daily dialysis and a feeding tube, to try and get her ready for transplant surgery. Please pray for health for her and strength for her parents. There have been a number of scares with fevers and seizures.

5/19 - CFO Mom has a request for prayers for her husband. He was unwell for a couple of weeks, and has been hospitalized since going to the ER Sunday evening. He has cellulitis, which may have gone to sepsis. He is on IV antibiotics, and now they have discovered he has an irregular heartbeat which is causing other risks and problems. He is also on a heparin drop to prevent blood clots. It’s very hard to not be able to visit and be with him to hear what the doctors have to say, or see and hear what is going on.

5/19 - OregonMuse's older sister was in an automobile accident a few days ago. She suffered some broken ribs and a broken arm. She'll be in rehab 4-6 weeks. Pray for her healing, and more importantly, that she would come to know the Lord through this experience.
