Congressional candidate asks for papal exorcism of Bush, Cheney

Just hours after Pope Benedict XVI arrived at the White House on Wednesday, North Coast congressional hopeful Mitch Clogg pleaded for his help. ”Your Holiness,” Clogg wrote on his blog, “please exorcise the president.” Clogg, who also called for a papal exorcism on Vice President Dick Cheney, is challenging Congressman Mike Thompson for his seat representing the North Coast in the Capitol.

”That was a wise crack, but the fact of the matter is that it is a wine produced in this district that is getting poured in honor of the pope,” Clogg said, adding that the wine is Sonoma's Sebastiani Vineyards and Winery's 2005 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. While he labeled the post as a wise crack, Clogg didn't entirely dismiss it.

”These men are evil,” he said of Bush and Cheney. “It's not just a bad president and vice president, we've never had anything like this where the country is being run by a criminal syndicate. It seems like these guys ought to be tarred and feathered, literally, on their way to prison.”

Seeing no help from Congress on the horizon in the form of impeachment, Clogg turned to the pope with his Wednesday blog plea. ”If I believed in the devil, I would believe that Bush and Cheney were inhabited by him,” he said. Clogg also saved some harsh words for his challenger, saying Thompson is essentially a Republican in Democratic clothing and is too conservative to represent the 1st District.

BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS NEEDS HELP NOW!

WANTED: fifty bigs for fifty littles. The bigs can be from eighteen years old to any age above that. The littles are from five to eighteen. There are 291 kids (“littles”) in Mendocino County who have non-family grownups (“bigs”) who spend time with them, helping them to grow up.

They live in homes with a shortage, maybe, of uncles, aunts and grandparents, where mom and dad want another adult pal and role model for their kids. They live in homes where the parents work so long and hard they don’t have enough time to spend with their children. They live in homes where the parents are distracted by emotional problems, sheer desperation, troubles with the law and/or bad habits (drugs and heavy drinking, usually). Some live in homes where the parents themselves are immature and can’t provide the solid foundation a child needs to grow up right. A lot of them live in homes where one parent—usually Dad—is gone, all or most of the time.

They live in homes all over this county, north, south, east, west and central, and the grownups who partner with them are rich and poor, male and female, young and old. The only thing they have in common is a willingness to make an awesome difference in a kid’s life, for a few hours a month.

*snip*

The kids’ schoolteachers write reports on the changes they see in their students. Here’s what it means to these kids to have friendly grownups to spend a little time with. The teachers’ reports show that self-confidence goes up for 82 percent of them; 75 percent get better at making decisions. Class participation and behavior improve for 72 percent. The list goes on and on, with dramatic improvements in the way they get along with grownups and other kids, their feelings about the future and a slew of other indicators.

2. Amen! I said that when Bush approaches Benedict XVI. He should start reciting the rite of exorcism.

5. I don't know who he is, but I'm for him!

We rarely hear this particular truth uttered in public. Nobody seems to be allowed to point out the obvious fact that bush & cheney are running a criminal enterprise out of the White House. I'm not sure if we don't care or if we're too scared to speak up, but it sure is great for b&c!

9. Agreed

I've never heard of him before either... But I like what I'm hearing so far.
