ITEM: Earlier in the week court jester David Letterman included Alaska Govenor Sarah Palin on his "Top Ten List". Number 2 was as follows: she "bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her slutty flight attendant look." Palin was in New York with her 14-year old daughter, Willow, and was doing charity work. She and her daughter also attended a Yankees baseball game with the serial womanizer Rudy Giuliani. Letterman also joked that her daughter got "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez, a player. In reponse Palin said this: "I doubt he'd ever dare make such comments about anyone else's daughter... laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood-N.Y. entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands - that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others."

[SITUATION: TH2 sitting on bench, waiting. His Sampersness arrives 15 minutes later]


TH2: You're late again.

MR. SCAMPERS: Relax. I had a previous appointment.

TH2: It seems we have a repeating theme. Letterman effectively extolled the same thing as Guy Cimbalo, Jackass No. 1.

MR. SCAMPERS: Yup. Child rape was advocated by this weeks jackass.

TH2: Moreover, have you ever noticed that, ever so gradually, comedians are starting to make jokes about children and sex, about child molestation. Not only this, more and more jokes are being made about bestiality, necrophilia and other perversions.

MR. SCAMPERS: You said it. The worse part is that their audiences, like a herd of slimy seals, are clapping and laughing at these abominations.

TH2: Do you think there is any other motivation for Letterman's remarks?

MR. SCAMPERS: Palin is an existential threat to the radical left wing ideology to which Letterman and his brown nosing celebrity friends subscribe. She is conservative, successful, pro-family, pro-life, endorses the free market, a crack shot - and she is a delicious honeypot. The hags of the womens lib movement do not like this at all. Another Anita Bryant has come back to haunt them.

TH2: Palin, you know, was born into a Roman Catholic family, but now has joined some Protestant Church.

MR. SCAMPERS: Well, nobody's perfect...


[SITUATION: Mr. Scampers looks down street and sees approaching bus]


MR. SCAMPERS: Do you have a $20 bill? Can I see one?

TH2: Why?

MR. SCAMPERS: Just give me one. I want to show you something.


[SITUATION: TH2 gives $20 bill to Mr. Scampers. Bus arrives at stop. Mr. Scampers scampers onto bus. Bus drives away. TH2 is astonished]


TH2: Blast! Foiled again by the notorious Mr. Scampers.

Great Scott! Eureka! I found it!

For years Mr. Scampers has been searching far and wide for the origins of the modern emergence of that plague called "liturgical dancing". What, I often ruminated, was the inspiration for these babybooming dilettantes? But, at last, a very reliable and unnamed source has indicated to yours truly that the video below (just a portion), produced by those in the upper echelon of this heretical community, is the prime brainwashing tool used for these modern weirdos. My presentiments were correct. It turns out that, like many heresies, its origins are from the Far East. The leader of this movement goes by the secret code name: "P-Low: The Skillful Abbot". Vigilance, peoples, vigilance... and have you ever wondered why these frolicking fruit cakes are, not only ridiculous, but also bizarre, surreal? Well, the video below explains everything. Spread the word.

Mr. Scampers was so enthralled with his amazing discovery of the origins of this heretical sect that he was inspired to compose the following poem. It is called...

ODE TO LITURGICAL DANCERS

O liturgical dancers
Weirdos and silly prancers
My name is the great Mr. Scampers.

Fruit cakes they do frolic
Babyboomer, homely and bucolic
Dost thou know not it looks psychotic?

Docetism they know not
In the old'n days they'd be shot
Methinks thou smoke alot of pot.

An offence to God
Mistakenly deemed mod
But really thou art a fraud.

Never made it in show biz
Buffoons therefore they is
Cuz petty celebrity doth thou seek.

'Round altars they swirl
Unknowing that people dost hurl
Upon witness tis vulgar display.

They jump and twirl and sway
In a homosexual way
Run away, run away, run away.

Mockery thou dost make
Go home and bake a cake
You ridiculous gnostic flake.

THE END

TH2 Note: Pope Benedict XVI wrote: "Dancing is not a form of expression for the Christian liturgy. In about the third century, there was an attempt in certain Gnostic-Docetic circles to introduce it into the liturgy. For these people, the Crucifixion was only an appearance... Dancing could take the place of the liturgy of the Cross, because, after all, the Cross was only an appearance. The cultic dances of the different religions have different purposes - incantation, imitative magic, mystical ecstasy - none of which is compatible with the essential purpose of the liturgy as the 'reasonable sacrifice' ". From (then) Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, The Spirit Of The Liturgy, trans. J. Saward (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2000), p. 198.

ITEM: Over the course of this week the internet was buzzing with a vile posting on the Playboy website by a certain Guy Cimbalo [PROFANITY WARNING]: “Obama promised us the dream of post-partisanship - a cuckoo land where party affiliation and factional animosity were forgotten. Turn on cable news or open any newspaper, however, and you’ll quickly discover that the dream has yet to materialize. But there is a way to reach across the aisle without letting principles fall by the wayside. We speak, naturally, of the hate f--k. We may despise everything these women represent, but goddammit they’re hot. Let the healing begin.” A total of 10 prominent conservative women were on Cimbalo's wish list for sexual violence, including: Dana Perino, Peggy Noonan, Megyn Kelly, Mary Katherine Ham, Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, Pamela Geller, Michele Bachmann and Amanda Carpenter. On Elisabeth Hasselbeck, conservative host for The View, Cimbalo wrote: “She’s the clean-cut American sweetheart who elicits our filthiest thoughts. Endlessly perky, this golden goddess probably has her Catholic school uniform still in the closet, and she wouldn’t mind putting it on before taking it off for a session of sweaty, anti-American hate f--king.” The post was removed by the pornographic website after complaints from conservatives.

[SCENE: Dilapidated bar]

[SITUATION: TH2 waiting at table… 10 minutes later His Sampersness arrives from the upper level of the bar]


TH2: You’re late, Mr. Scampers. I wasn't aware that you were already here. What were you doing up there?

MR. SCAMPERS: Relax. Have a cheese sandwich. Drink a glass of cream soda. Do some…

TH2: So, Scamps, what do ya think?

MR. SCAMPERS: What do you mean “what do I think” ?

TH2: I make reference to the aforementioned item, delineated just below the poster, regarding the recent controversy actuated by the vulgar vociferations of Guy Cimbalo, writer for Playboy Online… Jackass Number 1.

MR. SCAMPERS: Spare me your ridiculous linguistic acrobatics.

TH2: Ya… almost as ridiculous as your name.

MR. SCAMPERS: Such rapier wit! Watch your mouth with me, punk, or else I’ll…

TH2: Is that your head, or did you inhale a tank of hydrogen gas to recreate the Hindenburg disaster?

MR. SCAMPERS: Why… you unfunny buffoon, I outta…

TH2: Please answer the question, Mr. Scampers. Did you even read about the incident?

MR. SCAMPERS: Yes, I did… Well, it’s obvious. This Cimbalo guy… this depraved slug, advocated the raping of prominent conservative women. Had he directed that wicked diatribe to any of the liberal honeypots out there in the media, well… that would have been the end of him.

TH2: The end?

MR. SCAMPERS: Look at it this way, you tool: Had not any conservative commentators called out the vulgarians at Playboy on the matter, the article would not have been retracted from their website. They would have gotten away with it. Gloria Steinem and her fellow feminist fossils at NOW said nothing until asked to by Hasselbeck. In general, no condemnation from the left wingnut media.

TH2: Yes, it’s the whole double standard thing again, repeated ad infinitum. It’s fair game to denigrate and vilify conservatives. But if excoriation is directed to any liberal, then that would have been a media spectacular, and…

MR. SCAMPERS: Obviously, Sherlock. But what is new here is the degree of violence and hatred expressed in Cimbalo’s verbiage. The fact that this degenerate was nonchalantly and formally writing about this evil for this so-called “classy” of pornographic outfit is the disturbing part.

TH2: So much for Playboy’s “liberation” for women.

MR. SCAMPERS: You said it. But really, this abominable incident was inevitable, and would have occurred sooner or later. Slippery slope… permit one thing, then another, and it’s too late by the time the oblivious really become aware of the level of moral degradation involved. It’s all tied in with the hedonistic philosophy promoted that pathetic founder of Playboy.

TH2: Hugh Hefner. He’s getting pretty old now. It’s ZERO HOUR. Time’s almost up.

MR. SCAMPERS: Man-o-man, is this viagara-induced dinosaur in for a surprise when he finally does croak. Cimbalo, too, if he were to drop dead after enacting out whatever sadistic perversion that preoccupies his mind.

TH2: You mean God’s judgment… the eternal destination of his soul… the possibility of Cimbalo going to Hell?

MR. SCAMPERS: No, I mean a late night stop off at Wendy’s for a flame broiled burger.

TH2: You seem to have the propensity to already know that some souls are in, or are going, to Hell.

MR. SCAMPERS: Be more specific, moron.

TH2: I am referring to MSS No. 1 and MSS No. 8.

MR. SCAMPERS: The purpose of those posts, you boorish schmuck, is literally to “scare the Hell out of ” people. Get it?

TH2: Justice must be tempered with mercy. Justice will be administered, to be sure. But Roman Catholicism says it impossible for us to know the true disposition of a soul. Recall St. Faustina and Our Blessed Lord, His Divine Mercy is “unfathomable”. We must love our enemies, pray for them, even for Cimbalo the vicious misogynist. It is the command of the Lord of History.

MR. SCAMPERS: Yes, yes. You are correct. But I don’t have to like them.

TH2: Remember, hydrogen head, St. Augustine was a Manichean sensualist. He liked the ladies, in an antinomian way. But then, by God’s grace, he was transformed. St. Monica, his mum, prayed many years for his conversion.

MR. SCAMPERS: That’s right. Before his conversion he did have a hankering for those Mesopotamian muffins.

TH2: And then God’s mercy… so also does this apply to the wretch Guy Cimbalo.

MR. SCAMPERS: Umm… ahh… I have to go now…


[SITUTATION: Mr. Scampers quickly departs premises. Waiter arrives at table.]


WAITER: That’ll be 114 dollars and 23 cents.

TH2: For what?

WAITER: The guy with the head said you would cover for the beer and pickled eggs he just voraciously consumed on the upper level.

TH2: Shafted again by my Arch Nemesis.

Considering the continuing ecumenical dialogue between Roman Catholics and our Protestant bretheren, Mr. Scampers figured that he, too, must do his part so as to help heal the breach with our heretical confreres. After a fortnight of rumination, and a couple of cartons of cigarettes, I was suddenly inspired with the concept of creating Christmas cards. These cards, with ameliorating messages, could be sent from Catholics to their Protestant friends. Mr. Scampers is quite confident that he has struck the right balance between advocating the principles of orthodox Catholicism but still maintaining that so-called “openness” to the spiritual descendants of Luther, Calvin and Henry VIII. Below are the fruits of my industrious labors (feel free to download, best print quality on glossy paper).

This 12th century English rendering of Hell (see below) did not strike Mr. Scampers as anything anomalous upon first observation. But then, utilizing my Super Scampers Senses, I zoomed in and took a closer look at the facial semblances in the depiction - and I was totally astonished with my variegated discoveries. It was as if this painter, nearly 1000 years ago, had some sort of prophetic insight on the final destination for infamous human souls in the following centuries. See denoted inset image and close-up views below.

1. Percy Shelley (1792-1822): Buffoon from a privileged family of radical intellectuals. Overrated Romantic poet, lazy and irresponsible. Precursor to the inauthentic, hedonistic rock stars and celebrities of today.

2. Karl Marx (1818-1883): Principal theoretician for the modern plague of Communism. What's he doing with that goofy looking helmet?

3. Benito Mussolini (1883-1945): Italian dictator during World War II. Thug and left wing nut job.

4. Fr. Robert Drinan (1920-2007): Apostate priest responsible for convincing the Kennedy clan that it is acceptable to be pro-abortion and Catholic. Recall, however, that Fr. Andrew Greeley and Drinan look quite alike. Considering Greeley's cornball novels and support for Obama, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

5. Mr. Scampers: Goodness gracious... that looks like me!

Even though there are variations, do you nevertheless still notice that atheists always have "that look"? I do. It must be excruciatingly depressing to be an atheist. Why? Because everyday is like a countdown to nothingness. Visual evidence for the aforementioned provided below.

George Bernard Shaw: The "homely Fabianist emaciated vegetarian G.K. Chesterton destroyed me" look.

Bertrand Russell: The "Principia Mathematica is a load of freely associative symbolic crap" look.

John Lennon: The "drugged-out circus clown just emergent from the immoral morass of a hippy convention" look.

Frank Zappa: The "megamaniacal polymorphic eroticist destroyed my children's lives by giving them bizarre names" look.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair: The "won court case to remove prayer from schools and then got murdered by a fellow nihilist" look.

Carl Sagan: The "secretly misanthropic and needful escape to galaxial expanses because I can't face reality with hair like this" look.

Kurt Vonnegut: The "another 'misunderstood artist' nobody except obscure leftist academics read my depressing books" look.

George Carlin: The "won international acclaim for popularizing a poetic sequence of profanities and that's about it" look.

Penn Jillette: The "feigned happiness antinomian backslapping I can't believe I'm getting paid to do this libertarian bullshit" look.

Dave Kong: The "I am so empty inside and crave attention so much that I got this ridiculous California coif" look.

James Randi: The "unamazing wasting my life in litigation against obvious charlatans incorrectly assuming that it proves skepticism" look.

Woody Allen: The "celebrity tools think that I am a genius but I am really a neurotic pedophile pervert" look.

Richard Dawkins: The "not an innovator in science so I will popularize Darwinism and make it into a religion" look.

Christopher Hitchens: The "I hate myself booze and cigarettes Fr. George Rutler made a buffoon of me" look.
