Don't tell me you don't want absolution, cuz I know that you do.

Feeling Droopy? Sad? Did something to hurt your best friend? Kick the poor dog?

Throw a full beer bottle at the Republican headquarters parking lot which smashed all over someone's Beamer?

I've seen it all and heard it all. Unburden your soul.........just like Karl Rove needs to.

Whatever you are doing today, speak up! Speak out!

What is Condi doing? Is this just another bad habit?

Is that a burkha or a ninja costume?

Is she getting ready to assassinate someone?

Is she pushing Cheney out the door to further her bid for the Presidency in 2008?

That little vampire!

Torres first met his lover when she was 13

A Mexican priest has confessed to strangling a woman with whom he had an 18-month-old child, before chopping up and dumping her body, authorities say.

Cesar Torres, 42, admitted killing his lover, 22-year-old Veronica Andrade Salinas, on Easter Sunday, a state attorney general said.

A row between the two erupted shortly after Torres had said Mass.

Police arrested Torres after being tipped off by the victim's mother, and finding him covered in bruises.

The mother said the pair had been in a relationship for years, since they first met when Ms Salinas was 13. They had a daughter 18 months ago.

Ms Salinas apparently called on Torres after Mass at the Sacred Heart of Jesus church in Nezahualcoyotl, on the eastern outskirts of Mexico City, said the attorney general of Mexico state, Abel Villicana.

Kitchen knife

According to one unconfirmed account, Ms Salinas had told Torres she was pregnant and had demanded money.

During the fight Torres strangled and killed the woman, then dragged her body to a bathroom where he used a kitchen knife to cut off her head and cut her body to pieces, according to his confession.

He put the pieces in plastic bags and drove them to a municipal cemetery in Chimalhuacan, where he dumped them.

Police had already been investigating the deaths of five other women who had been slain and dumped in Chimalhuacan - some of them mutilated - suggesting the work of a serial killer.

There is no suggestion Torres is linked to the other murders.

Torres was arrested on Wednesday morning. He did not resist and willingly confessed to killing his lover, Mr Villicana said.

He was due to appear before a judge to be charged with murder.

Happy Easter!

It’s been obvious for some time that the Christian conservative wing steers the Republican Party, with moderates and liberals riding shotgun or delegated to sitting in the back of the bus(h).

So it’s no surprise that Republican Senator John McCain has been cozying up to Mullah Jerry Falwell. McCain (AZ) has been criticized recently for endorsing radical, anti-gay activist Jerry Falwell and for agreeing to keynote the graduation of Liberty University on May 13, a college controlled by Chancellor Falwell, which routinely expels gay students. In doing so, McCain is sending a clear message to the voting Charismacrats that he is willing to work to defeat gay marriage. His action additionally implies solidarity with the Christian political platform against sin, as defined by Falwell and Robertson.

The two recently smoothed over policy differences during a private meeting in McCain's Senate office. "I was in Washington with him about three months ago," Falwell said. "We dealt with every difference we have. There are no deal breakers now. But I told him, 'You have a lot of fence mending to do.'"

While not offering an endorsement, Falwell said that Republican Senator John McCain was a candidate that he could support for president in 2008.

Here are some differences in the once moderately conservative McCain that are noteworthy:

2000- As he sought the Republican nomination that eventually went to George W. Bush, McCain said: "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right."

When McCain was asked in 2000 whether he stood by his description of Falwell, he said, “I must not and will not retract anything that I said in that speech at Virginia Beach. It was carefully crafted, it was carefully thought out.” (Hardball, 3/1/00)

April 2006- On Meet the Press Potential presidential candidate John McCain says he longer considers evangelist Jerry Falwell to be one of the "agents of intolerance" that he criticized during a previous White House run.

In past years, many moderates admired McCain’s outspokenness, his independence and his ethics. Now, moderate Republicans are beginning to see him as just another tired old political hack. McCain’s big mistake is in aligning himself with the Rove/Cheney wing of the Right who have been wrong on every domestic and foreign affairs issue. McCain’s appearance at Liberty U. marks his willingness to define that 100-foot swan dive into the murky, neocon cesspool. Will that dive be McCain’s swan song?

Notice how Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff downplays the behavior of this pedophile:

(CBS) WASHINGTON Deputy Homeland Security Press Secretary Brian Doyle has resigned, according to DHS officials, CBS News Correspondent Bob Orr reports.

Doyle was arrested Tuesday in Florida on charges of sexually preying on a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. He is charged with more than two dozen counts relating to Internet child pornography.

Doyle's resignation was tendered through his attorney this afternoon. He is awaiting extradition to Florida.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday he did not believe a department official's alleged sexual misconduct resulted in a breach of national security, calling the case an individual's "misstep."

No, Mr. Chertoff, a misstep is when you make a mistake on the dance floor. This guys is a pedophile who likes to rape kids. Don't softpedal it to cover your ass because we see right through it.

I've been meaning to write about this sinner Tom DeLay, but my Mother of God duties have been keeping me pretty busy, what with all the folks needing me to do intercessions and make appearances and miracles such as getting my face in this table on Ebay, which is selling for a very reasonable $3,000.

Listen to this poor man's story. How could I resist his plea?

Handmade table of Mahogany and Pine wood. Virgin Mary appears on top of table... Must see to appreciate her holiness.

I have had many family problems go wrong lately and have been praying for God to help me deal with them. I had started building my table to get my mind focused and as I began the sanding process, the Virgin Mary appeared on my table. I take this as a sign that things will get better for my fathers illness and my daughters. I believe in God and pray every night for everyone and I know now more than ever he can hear me!

And then there was the peanut man, who swears I and the Baby Jesus are on a peanut. This is not true. Do not buy this peanut for $12,000. It is a rip off and looks nothing like me. Here is their lying write-up on this peanut:

The peanut was found inside of a shell. It is described as the Virgin Mary holding Baby Jesus. It is in very good condition and was discovered December 25, 2005. It has brought great happiness to us and we are reluctant to sell however It may help someone else?

Just let me ask you, how can a fake peanut bring anyone happiness? These Ebayers can be tricky and delusional. How does one discern between a true miracle of God and a hoax? Between a seller of religious truth and a snake oil salesman?

Which is the perfect segue into talking about Tom DeLay.

What will he do next?

My vote is that he will further tarnish my good name by appearing as a televangelist. Others think he will take up killing cockroaches for a living again. Others know for sure that he will be a steroid-toting wrestler known as the Cockroach, or La Cucaracha, as all the Spanish-speaking immigrants now call him.

What do you think he will do?

After all, Tony Rudy is pleading guilty.

and Tom Delay is throwing in the towel in his bid for re-election. Juanita down at Juanita's World's Most Dangerous Hair Salon, broke the news on Tom Delay and his petition to get his conceled handgun permit re-instated.

It can be something you enjoyed or something you regret. Getting rid of the old baggage can be such a relief. Why pay upwards of $150 an hour for professional counseling when you can visit the Confessional for free.

Here is an ad from today's Dallas Morning News: Notice the admonishment that "nice" rebel girls do not get too gothic! Quick, call the deprogrammers on this one! Also, this is their idea of rebellious dress? Oh, slam, you could wear this rag to a SMU sorority dance and not stand out except for the fact that the girl has no head.

Play up your own style for prom

Whether you're traditional or a risk-taker, getting ready for prom is about finding the look to fit your personality

From sassy to earthy, there's a prom look for you.

REBEL GIRL

The only thing she's willing to conform to? Trends that fit her punky taste. She keeps her classmates guessing on what her next act of fashion rebellion will be. She may love black, but her style choices have a vintage feel that doesn't get too gothic.

How about a term for those Tom Delays of the world who think they are above the law? The Carl Roves, the Condis and Rummies and Cheneys who operate for their own greed and self-interest?

How about the dittohead mentality which is a scary standalone culture of brain-washed bobbleheads.

How about a term for the guys who have been part of the sacking of the Temple for decades with no accountability?

How about the pork-rind politicians who waste millions on feel-good projects that benefit very few, usually paid lobbyists, corporations and business constituents?

Pink Feminist gives you Pussiliant Porkers, with acknowledgement to Consider The Boot™, coiner of original term.
