Weak kneed and Spineless Republicans

Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski, Jeff Flake, and Susan Collins talk a good talk.
Murkowski

Collins



Flake

But will they walk the walk, or will they toe the line in the matter of the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, and the serious allegations about his behavior made by Dr. Christine Ford.

 I doubt it.  Dr. Ford's accusations should be investigated by the FBI before Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee proceed.

 But an FBI investigation will not happen, after all why should a woman be heard and believed?  

 Dr. Ford and her family are in hiding because of the horrendous death threats made about her  (her e-mail address, phone number and street address have been discovered and leaked by unscrupulous right wingers).

 Despite this the pseudo-liberals Murkowski, Collins and Flake will keel over.

 They may talk the talk (talk is cheap) but there is not a snowball's chance in hell that they will walk the walk. They'd rather see Dr. Christine Ford hung out to dry than to defy the Republican leadership.

 When I was about seventeen years old ( 1961)My boss asserted that "every politician has his price"  They were all males back then.

 I did not want to believe him. These many years later I know that he was right.

 More's the shame.


 What is your price Murkowski, Collins, and Flake?

Shoe insults

Last year I consulted with a local podiatrist: Dr. Robert F Herbold Jr. D.P.M. 4717 Swift Rd., Sarasota , FL – 34231  because I was being bothered with a couple of bunions  (yes I am at that age). I was very impressed with this Doctor.  He agreed that I had bunions, but he ventured that it was much too soon for surgery. (Now there’s a first). Instead he recommended some “arch supports” to relieve the tension for my feet, a tension which was exacerbating the bunions. What’s more -  he told me that he sells these arch supports at the miserly sum of $2.50 each (about 1/5 of the price in the local pharmacies). He is an honest man, and I recommend him to anyone with foot problems. So, a couple of weeks ago, having purchased some new walking shoes, I knew that I needed to buy a couple of new arch supports I took myself to his office. Once there, my mind went blank. I wanted to ask his front desk Clerk if I could buy some “shoe inserts” , as I could not remember the words “ar

The background, the couple, my friends, the wedding ceremony, the Shaykh, the Priest,

The background   I have known the Keller/Bonsey family since 2000 when I became the Rector at St. James's, Cambridge, MA. They (Elisabeth Keller and the Revd. Steven Bonsey with their four children Noah, Sam, Josiah and Annie) had come back to Cambridge from Hawaii where Steve had been the Rector of an Episcopal parish. Steve had just been appointed as a Chaplain at Tufts University (no Sunday morning duties) so the entire family was able to enrich our common life at St. James's - which they did with great love and joy. I count them as friends and have stayed in touch with them since my retirement.  Noah, the oldest son is eloquent in Arabic (he spent a year in Damascus when Syria was a safe place).  He has developed a super career as an analyst of social media in the near East.    Noah worked in Tampa for a while a few years ago, so he and I were able to get together a few

It began in Bristol U.K. "A man dies" and "Jesus Christ Superstar"

I well remember the swirling controversy in Bristol, U.K. when a (Presbyterian) Minister the Revd, Earnest Marviin created a ":Rock Opera", called "A Man Dies"  in and for his congregation in the Lockleaze area of Bristol, U.K. Earnest Mrvin I was a sixteen years old member of the Plymouth Brethren Church back in those days, so I most likely disapproved of "A Man Dies" .  We, (the Plymouth Brethren),  disapproved of everything! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had forgotten all about "A Man Dies" until earlier today when saw these pictures on the "Bristol, Then and Now"  Facebook page.   St. James Presbyterian Church, Lockleaze, Bristol  The Bristol Then and Now page includes the following commentary: Lockleaze, Bristol  -  'Jesus Christ Superstar' began at St.James (Presbyterian) Chur
