Latino “Brothers”

Posted by Bob in How Things Work on 10/26/2005

Before the World Series game, ther was a salute to Latino Legends in Baseball.

It began with a speech about Latin Americans who play baseball “and their brothers in the United States.”

I wonder what would happen if a white baseball player referred to “my brothers in Europe?”

A Favor for Elizabeth

Posted by Bob in Comment Responses on 10/26/2005

As I said below, though she vehemently denies it, Elizabeth is Catholic because the Pope is a bachelor. I therefore took the initiative and wrote the Pope about this.

I said that I would like to set Elizabeth up for a date with His Holiness, but he if he is busy maybe he could fix her up with one of Cardinals.

The response to my letter from the Vatican Curia was something I can only describe as unfriendly.

Further, it was badly written. I found their use of the word “excommunication” tiresomely repetitious.

Don’t worry about it, Elizabeth. I hear that Russian Orthodoxy is a great alternative.

This should not make other readers of Bob’s Blog jealous.

I stand ready to do the same sort of thing for the rest of you.
