Even Nasty Priests Become Pope

Traditionally, I think it's a prerequisite.

I'm not just speaking about orders of priests' here; clearly demonstrated in Boston and all through Ireland, many nuns were eager to perform alike atrocities against... children. Innocent, hapless youth thrust into the hands of hell under the guise of 'angels'. Hell on earth... who better to create it than the largest institution that has laid its' foundations upon the fear of it? In order to protect its' priests' from prosecution, the Catholic Church has hidden information from authorities on a global scale for more than forty years... all done with an atrocious indifference to the ongoing pedophilia of their priests (and in some places) their nuns.

Bysiewicz seeks to block her own testimony

Last week Secretary of State and candidate for Attorney General Susan Bysiewicz gave a deposition in a lawsuit she helped bring about in order to get a ruling on the statute requiring a minimum of ten years of "active practice" in order to be AG.

As reported in the Hartford Courant, Bysiewicz yesterday:

...asked a Superior Court judge Monday to block disclosure of the transcript and videotape of her sworn testimony in a deposition, which is part of her lawsuit to get a judge to rule that she is qualified to run for state attorney general.

Bysiewicz's lawyer, Wesley W. Horton, filed a motion for a "protective order" directing all parties in the case "not to disclose publicly the transcript or videotape of any depositions in this case, except to the extent necessary to prosecute or defend any potential motion, unless and until they are unsealed" by order of the judge in the case.

Okay, I'm not a genius or anything (I can almost hear the chorus of agreement rising from my loyal readers) but it seems that Susan has handled nearly every aspect of this controversy in as clumsy a manner imaginable. 

Senators Question Flawed NASA Climate Data

After admitting that the United States' own climate data was worse than the Climategate-tainted University of East Anglia’s, two U.S. Senators are demanding answers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

“In light of recent revelations and scientific reports, we are contacting you regarding our continued concerns with the apparent declining credibility of United States climate data," wrote Senators John Barraso of Wyoming and Louisiana’s David Vitter in aletter to NASA administrator Charles Bolden. "With almost ten percent unemployment, America cannot afford to base its energy policy on flawed data."

After a series of scandals and blatant errors largely discredited the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that warned of disastrous global warming, the letter explains that policymakers turned to American data as a sort of back up. "Unfortunately, it appears that U.S. data is equally flawed and corrupted by questionable scientific practices," the Senators stated.

The letter refers to information obtained from NASA by the Competitive Enterprise Institute under a Freedom of Information Act request. In the documents, a senior scientist from the space agency advised a reporter that NASA’s climate data is inferior to the Climategate-spoiled records from the UEA’s disgraced Climatic Research Unit — and that NASA’s information is partially derived from the CRU’s flawed data.
