Confessional

I walk into the confessional. The priest slides the shutter aside, then, "Please, Father, hear my confession."

"Yes, my child, pray continue."

"I must confess Father, I have sinned."

"What are your sins, my child?"

"I'm so sorry, Father, but during a weak moment this morning,  I watched the Presidential Inauguration of  President Obama."

Silence.

I broke into a hard sweat.

Then, "I'm so sorry child but I cannot help you."

"What will happen to me Father?"

"Like the rest of the poor sinners of the world, you shall burn in hell. Please, leave now."

  2. We turned on the boob tube this morning, to see the local weather forecast. Discovered the local morning news was not on, because it's more important to watch the kids, VP, and whomever else was there, getting into & out of armored limos.

    The radio's nice, this morning; the Christian station only mentions the goings-on in DC once a hour, and then plays music the rest of the time.

    1. Now why didn't I think of the radio...I can't get Chuck Shumer's image out of my mind. Soon as I'm finished with this it's back to a book. Thanks, my friend.

    1. At least I went to bent knee and asked for forgiveness...and I must still read the Bible. You know it's bad enough when I enter the church and the candles dim...

  4. I turned on the tube this morning & it was either cartoons or inauguration. I wasn't sure which one was which, so I turned it off.

    1. I guess the parade is over. I've been reading a good novel. It's a dark day in our nation. Thanks, my new friend. I need to remember to put a link on my sidebar for you...if I forget, remind me.

  6. I saw a clip of the "event" last night in a restaurant on the tv in the bar (it's amazing what lousy seats you get when you enter with two 3-year-olds). I nearly had to gouge my eyes out. I'm surprised I made it through the meal. Good thing there was no sound.

    1. Hmm, I just read the other comments and it appears the damn thing is today, not yesterday. I'm so glad I'm not knowledgeable on such things. I guess I saw a clip of 4 years ago. Still, a miserable sight.

    2. I agree, Mermaid, and its depressing too. Thanks, sweet lady.

  7. I did not turn the Tube one. Instead the boys and I got out in the back yard and modified my raised vegetable beds. I now have to pay the little fellows..they asked for a pan of Brownies for the hard work. I guess I should give half the pan to Senior for taxes. : )

  9. I considered hanging a black wreath on the door yesterday but I have enough respect for Martin Luther King not to.

  10. I understand. I've never had an issue with the man. His followers on the other hand bug the hell out of me. Thanks, my friend.
