ex cathedra: Letter of the day

Letter of the day

From a faithful reader:

Dear Mr. exCathedra--

I know that you avoid the salacious and favor
the intellectual, disdain the pedestrian and exalt
in the anointed, but you should be paying
attention to "Rubygate," the current Belusconi
trial. This is the piu grande scandolo del mondo*.
It involves Ruby Rubicouri (Ruby Heart-Stealer), a
16 year old Moroccan pole dancer, a 74 year old
media giant, and the most virtuous judge in all
of Christendom.

Mr. Clinton and Ms. Lewinsky are pilgrims in comparison.

*biggest scandal in the world

The embattled Premier of Italy

The possibly under age pole dancer

The righteous judgess

I had let this bit of magical Italian opera buffa slip by me. I am linking to the Reuters version, since they are the Comedy Central of the MSM.

The only thing Italians love more than a good scandal is a good automobile accident.

Thanks to my lettore fidele.

»In 1957, Ponti obtained a Mexican divorce from his first wife and married Sophia Loren by proxy. Divorce was still forbidden in Italy and he was informed that he would be charged with bigamy if he returned to Italy and Loren would be charged with "concubinage".« (wikip); 9:33 PM, April 06, 2011

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
