Whew! For a minute there, I thought you wrote: “. . . and incest.”
Sometimes I think that maybe the Bolsheviks had the right idea for dealing with so-called aristocrats.
The French showed them the way.

I am so glad you said that, I have been an anti-catholic crusader (well actually an anti-fundamentalist religion) ever since I was incarcerated in a convent school as a child. Long story…A protestant child blessed with a fairly logical mind, whose parents wanted a better education for me than the local county schools could provide, inasmuch as few of the teachers at that time actually spoke correct English.
Anyway, my first thought on reading this article was…Yep, stupid, unbelievable religion will do that to you, and if you have money, it will peel that off of you and into their coffers in a heartbeat.

Plus…and this is a big one…that kind of religion lets you “confess”, cry a little and say a rosary or two and the slate is then “clean”, so you can forget about all your sins and go out and do it again!
Yeah, the marketing people were really on top of things when they dreamed up christianity. You get paradise, but no way to know if you actually get it. You have to conveniently obey rulers here on earth in order to get it. You’re always being watched. But yeah, the “get out of jail free” card was always fucking nuts. I remember them drilling us in school about the last rites and any time we asked an obvious question like, “Isn’t that unfair? The person gets away with all this terrible stuff and still goes to heaven?” And the answer was always stupid. “God is all forgiving.” No one ever mentioned the victims of the evil person who went to heaven. I guess because if someone murdered you, but you’d taken a soda and didn’t pay for it, you went to hell. Not the person who killed you. You.
All religion is fucking stupid, but christianity is a fucking joke.

Corrupt Supreme Court Justice Sammy “the Flagpole” Alito visited Frau Blücher to explore the potential for renewing the Axis alliance. Blücher, a noted equestrian, who has been pro life since her years working with Dr. Friedrich Frankenstein, shares Alito’s obsession with the anti-democratic Roman Catholic religious lunacy, an infection that has shaped the six most evil justices on the US Supreme Court. A key topic of discussion was the pro-life interest in the reanimation of dead tissue found in coffins and reliquaries. Blücher is currently working on the revival of Nazi heart throb Richard Wagner and invited Alito to visit her laboratory at Bayreuth. The duo also discussed Blücher’s secret work to revive the remains of the beloved Adolph and Benito. The plan had been going so well until the carrier of the seed mated with a baboon in a moment of weakness. Both were encouraged with the American success in reanimating a hogs turd and placing it on the Supreme Court, but felt that animating a hassock to become Vice President was a stretch. However, there was no controlling that son of the baboon. “Nevertheless,” Blücher said, “its amazing what a rosary and a little holy water can do.” Alito agreed and noted that in America Catholic priests had been secretly manipulating Evangelical lunatics to take the hit for Roe vs. Wade by injecting holy water into Mountain Dew. Some of the most evil ones even converted.
Amazing that she and her family inhabit Europe in the 21st century. Had she been around in the 18th, she’d have been a friend of Marie Antoinette’s, and she might have lost her topknot. Peculiar as she seems to be, though, she exemplifies the lifestyle and recognition the commoner-aristocrats of America aspire to, rebelling against democracy and widespread education.

Buckley? Never!
WFB created this CIA agent, Blackford Oakes, whose task was to eliminate this powerful vestigial leader of the 1960’s underground German Nazi party. When he found him, the “bad guy” was actually a quiet, cultured admirer of classical music who had a chapel on his landed estate. Even Buckley could not hide his disdain for the mob that the Church and the Reich kept in line. It’s a pretty ugly book; that includes author, main character, antagonist, and theme.
I knew a priest who travelled with Princess Diana’s mother; when he was younger. We had a hell of a drunken trip to Lourdes. Once the mother was gone he ended up at a university and was eventually defrocked over pressing himself up against the girls.

As a downtown Klub Kid in the 80s, those of her ilk weren’t referred to as ‘punk’, but rather ‘eurotrash’.

Only if we can give them names that will fit on a business card, Grandma.
More seriously, it’s called “choice” and “birth control.” Maybe your kids are choosing not to have kids for their own reasons. Maybe they had terrible parents and don’t want to bring the dysfunction forward. In any case, them’s the breaks, grandma. Your kids, not you, decide whether they want to have their own kids or not.
Someone really enjoyed including all those pictures of Ms. TNT.
