This is from October, but I am just seeing it now. I thought I’d share.
Arrogance incarnate?

“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Oremus; that Pres. Obama is the last president ever who “thinks” he knows everything.
Arrogant, indeed. Why can’t Obama be meek and humble like Donald Trump?
Not Pres Obama. He might have acquired some wisdom in avoiding making any comment on the Pres-elect’s staff choices.
Yeah. I don’t thing ANYONE is laughing about Trump becoming president. Though I have no doubt he will give SNL endless material… and that will make us laugh.
There is a pleasing synergy between this post and the post on schadenfreude.
One might even go so far as to call it a thing of beauty.
On the topic of arrogance, it will be refreshing to have someone in the White House who is not so self-aggrandizing.
That clip is included in a thoroughly delightful YouTube video called “In the Halls of the Trumpen President,” highly recommended as schadenfreude has been officially pronounced not-a-sin.
Obama behaved like a schoolchild throughout his presidency. He governed as if his ideas were the only ones worth considering. From making statements like: “republicans can come along for the ride, but they gotta sit in the back” . . . to referring to babies as “punishments” . . . from “we’re not a Christian nation” to his inciting remarks leading to police deaths and violence against whites; this president’s actions were far more divisive and violent than Trump’s words.
I’m definitely laughing. I went to bed at 9 Monday and got up to a whole new world. Let all God’s people say: YEE-HA!
oops, sorry, meant Tuesday, election day is always TUESDAY.
Never do the touchdown dance until you see the points on the scoreboard.
As long as we’ve got a moment for levity, this should smooth over all the frayed emotions at Ms. Clinton’s loss:

HyacinthClare,
Indeed! – yet in some ways I prefer “In the Hall of the Trumpen King” (SMB Productions [2:24]): happily we can enjoy both without having to choose only one. (Voting preference probably complicates a lot, but I suspect anyone could enjoy a fictionalized analogue of them, if built into something like Chayefsky and Lumet’s movie, Network.)
The man never tires of being wrong.
