Open Post: Hosted By White Smoke! (UPDATE)
White smoke poured out of the Sistine Chapel a few minutes ago and usually that means the cardinals are hot boxing again, but today it means that they told all the other pope wannabes to sashay away, because they have chosen the new head bitch of the Catholic Church. The new pope will show his or her (I'm still hoping it's Joan Collins) face sometime in the next hour. Lock up your altar boys!
And couldn't they bedazzle that chimney or silver leaf it for the occasion? That shit is dreadful.
UPDATE: The dude who beat the other contestants in a dance-off, bikini contest and knife fight is 76-year-old Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina.
Dude is the first Latin-American pope and the first pope from the new world. He's going to go by Francis I. Bergoglio Pope Francis the First from now on. And in case it wasn't already obvious, he's anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion. But more importantly, would you hit it? I refuse to answer that question myself until I see what this old queen looks like in Prada loafers.

Im from Argentina. This "religious" man is seriously suspected of covering up crimes against humanity during the militar dictatorship of 1976-1982, and being accomplice to kidnapping, torturing, and killing people. The Church will deny it, of course, like they deny pederasty...We are nor proud at all...

if we're talking legitimate religions then maybe not, perhaps i should have said Islam instead.
TR, that Silly Symphony Episode is my ALL TIME FAVORITE! It pretty much sums up my childhood since I would watch it all the freakin' time. It was one of the first things I posted on FB. : D

Still with the religion talk? Well at least it's civil. Well done, guys.
I just wanted to share that I fixed our computer keyboard! The kids let the gerbils on the computer table and the little fuckers chewed the wires. I spliced those teensy wires and FIXED that motherducker.
I've been in so much physical pain and this post alone got my laughter endorphins going which gave me a bit of relief.
Hekki, YOU DA MAN. lol
Night TR, Bambam (side-eye haha) sleep well.
TR, yes saw it, love that it has no talking and they still made it funny, that's impressive. Both were. So much to take in too, not one dimensional like nowadays. Listen to me, now I'm saying it too. lol

I'm sure you're right TR. I just picture the old timey artists saying the same thing to their contemporaries. hahaha There's still a lot of talent out there, you know that. Maybe fewer hear it because only the mundane get the attention. I agree with you, seems people had more to work with in the past. More depth. Still, there's no shame in being a working performer today, if one is lucky enough to have the gig. :p
I'm doing well, still groovin' to that video RandéS left. so cool. I think it's the time of night. Then ESE or one of you guys comes in with the perfect song in a totally different genre. ha! How are you doing?

Hi Withy - I didn't see your question about my trip until today. Thank you for asking! We had an absolute *magical* time. His family is lovely, AUS is stunningly beautiful (hot and sticky, but GORGEOUS), and I wish I had another life to live so I could live it in Sydney Harbour. *smitten*
WR, yeah, I see your point! I think, back then, music was being played in clubs, everywhere....it was accessible. But who kows, maybe I'm just nostalgic for something that never really was...

CRAP...I am watching that movie right NOW. It also lets off some bittersweet vibes. It came out when I was just a baby, but I loved watching it throughout the years. Then, it does have a sappy and waaay retro feel. Odd feelings...
@ RT.....could you imagine seeing some of the talent that went through a place like The Cotton Club back in it's heyday? I'm sure there were people we've never heard of but were just jaw droppingly talented. Not even just musicians but dancers too. I see these old movies and sometimes you'll see a scene where they highlights someone and you shake your head and go wow!

I feel like dying. Woke up with the worst cramps ever (and they haven't gone away). And I had to wear a suit and pantyhose for 12+ hours today. FML. But, I'm FINALLY relaxing with a glass of wine & am looking forward to sitting on the couch in sweatpants very soon.

I need a glass of hard liquor for that pain sometimes.
JTROS, ITA. Catholics (even the ones that are very conservative- like my parents) are much cooler and tolerant than other Christian religions. My extended family is Catholic and only a VERY small percentage did the traditional thing and got married before having kids. Even my parents made it official after I was born! Lol
I'm guessing that the other younger cousins will follow in the same tradition of having kids out of wedlock.

here's "Stardust": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r94-7nJt-WM&feature=share&list=PL54F501E2...
and Whamo - yes, Sister Rosetta put it all out there. Her voice was so clear and bell-like, and she did great things with it. You can tell that playing and singing is where she really comes alive! All of my favorite singers, Abbey Lincoln and Betty Carter especially, have this quality.

@ RT....This Train is my favorite from the few tunes I've listened to. She plays that guitar so understated for the wonderful way she's workin it. As well I love watching the faces of true performers, you can see and feel the honesty of music work through her. I know you sing as well and don't you just hate when you see someone over emote or not at all when they sing? I hate posers when they do that..

Hey TR, you know Louis Jordan don't you? Pull up some of his stuff then try to tell me Little Richard didn't steal a couple of things from him.
ETA: Hey Whams, I knew of her but I wasn't very knowledgable about her, not enough to know why she was called that. It's so much fun finding out about artists, for example I knew of Louis Armstrong in his later years and heard things but when I finally dug into his career it was a revelation, literally like finding a gold mine.

I watched a really cool PBS documentary on Rosetta Tharpe..the godmother of rock and roll which was a real treat. She kicked as on the guitar and had one heck of a voice.
--------------------------------------------
That was a great documentary wasn't it?. I get tickled by stuff like this, reminds me of elementary school with officer friendly at an assembly telling us about drugs for the first time.
Later on you see someone on drugs and you're shaking in your boots at the sight. Then you get older, read/watch/listen to some history and find out shit's been around for a long time, it was just new to you, lols.

I read that you had agreed with mitzenmamas comment that the old white guys were responsible for a ridiculously significant amount of societal policies. That did not read like a positive statement to me but one that was negative.
Frankly i was surprised that no one brought up the role of women as priests which has been my beef with the church.
------------------------------------------------
Pardon the editing, I wanted to isolate your points. It always baffles me in situations where there's clear evidence of one group taking exclusive advantage over another group(s) and reaping an overwhelming benefit from it, in making that observation, to call it out, elicits cries of racism on the part of the disadvantaged group. I just don't get it, to me it's like being called anti management for trying to improve my position as a laborer.
And talk of a pope of color kind of misses something here, the new pope has Italian lineage in his blood. Notice that while North America has had good candidates for a while now, they don't get chosen. Too powerful maybe, too fractured, a little too progressive? They've been european, interestingly enough from WWII participants and one patsy. It's all about keeping the power in one hand.

i'm also pretty sure Muslims get A LOT of critical attention in the West.
You think? I thought we were supposed to accept them and their tenets with open arms? That we'd be discriminating to point out the downsides to fundamentalism?
Anyways, I rarely take part in DL discussions about politics, religion, or Tina Fey. They're never fun, and this site is foremost about having fun.
Yes, I know but it also sucks to be home, sick, working, deadlines, and with three kids, school volunteering, and not meeting up with college friends for a big party.

_________________________________________________
Agreed, I'd edited my last comment to you to acknowledge it was more the high percentage of old white men representation I was really agreeing to and I didn't really click in to that line BUT in re reading mitzenmamas comments buy virtue of the fact there is a high percentage of old white men representation then it would stand to reason they are in fact responsible for a significant amount of the churches policies, I don't see that as positive or negative as that would depends on the policy and the position you take but the fact would still remain it comes from a predominantly old white hierarchy, I mean it is what it is be it good OR bad. To be clear I don't agree if it's suggested all the policies are bad just because they come from old white men.
