The Seventeenth Week of Extra Ordinary Time

 

Welcome all to the Seventeenth week of Extra Ordinary Time. 

Please open your Hymnal to page 3 and join in our processional  “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” Verse 1

O LORD, please don’t burn us,   Don’t grill or toast your flock,

Don’t put us on the barbecue,  Or simmer us in stock,

Don’t braise or bake or boil us,  Or stir fry us in a wok. 

This week the “liberal ‘Woke’ world order” is showing its terminal collapse cracks as it flails like a drowning person trying to hold on a bit longer.  We shall examine some of their death throws today.

Please open The Holy Text volume 1 to episode 5 page 60 where the prophets say …

Policeman	I must warn you, sir, that outside I have police dog Josephine, who is not only armed, and trained to sniff out certain substances, but is also a junkie.
Young Man	What are you after ... ?
Policeman	(pulling a brown paper package from out of his pocket, very badly and obviously) Oo! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Here is a brown paper bag I have found on the premises. I must confiscate this, sir, and take it with me for clinical examination.
Young Man	Wait a minute. You just got that out of your pocket.
Policeman	What?
Young Man	(takes it) Well what's in it anyway? (opens it) Sandwiches.
Policeman	Sandwiches? Blimey. Whatever did I give the wife?

Open your hymnal to page 18 and join us in singing “Oliver Cromwell” verse 4

And Cromwell sent Colonel Pride to purge the House of Commons
Of the Presbyterian Royalists leaving behind only the rump Parliament
Which appointed a High Court at Westminster Hall to indict
Charles, the first for tyranny, ooh! Charles was sentenced to death
Even though he refused to accept that the court had jurisdiction
Say goodbye to his head

Now please open The Holy Text volume 2 to episode 29 page 81 where the prophets say …

Son	There's a dead bishop on the landing.
Woman	Where did that come from?
Son	What do you mean?
Woman	What's its diocese?
Son	Well it looked a bit Bath and Wellsish to me.
Man	I'll go and have a look. (goes out)
Woman	I don't know who keeps bringing them in here.
Son	Well it's not me.
Woman	I've put three out by the bin and the dustmen won't touch 'em.
Man	(coming back) Leicester.
Woman	How do you know?
Man	Tattooed on the back of his neck. I'm going to call the police.
Woman	Shouldn't you call the Church?

Homily  Now that it is Kumala who will be carrying the Biden/Harris banner forward I thought it appropriate to look into some of the “accomplishments” that are being trumpeted by the legacy media.  As previously discussed the current administration has managed to provide basically none of the EV charging stations they have blathered on about.  But even private efforts at supporting EV charging are running into problems, namely thieves (https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/seattle-thieves-targeting-ev-charging-stations-has-reached-epidemic-proportions).  So the left coast loonies are having trouble because their homeless crack heads have figured out that you can cut the charging cords and scrap them to buy more drugs.  What will they do – EV or Homeless, who to support?

As a further example of choices needing to be made in Democan priorities, recently their off shore wind turbines have begun to demonstrate a problem – Shattering!  Turns out that the off shore turbines can “shatter” into millions of pieces which being made out of fiber glass then wash ashore and make the beaches dangerous to walk on at the peril of slicing a person’s feet to shreds (https://nantucketcurrent.com/news/vineyard-wind-reports-turbine-blade-damage-in-offshore-incident).  Quite distressing to the Nantucket tourists as they forfeit their vacation beach time due to the clean up process. 

In their signature legislation, the Biden/Harris “Infrastructure” bill allocated 42.45 Billion dollars to provide broadband service to the entire country.  Three years on it turns out that though most of the money has been “spent” not a single person has received service (https://broadbandusa.ntia.gov/news/latest-news/ntias-role-implementing-broadband-provisions-2021-infrastructure-investment-and).  I am sure the current administration will say they just need a bit more money to get things working. 

Following along these failures of to deliver on tech promises comes another issue associated with tech.  It turns out that literally thousands of farmers in Maryland are being eminent domained off their property for power line to support AI centers (https://corporate.pseg.com/aboutpseg/companyinformation/thepsegfamilyofcompanies/psegrenewabletransmission/mprp).  I mean who cares about feeding humans when we can feed the computers instead – right? 

Amen

Please join us in our recessional on page 3 of your hymnal “O Lord Please Don’t Burn Us” second verse. 

Oh Please don’t lightly poach us,  Or Baste us with hot fat,

Don’t fricassee or roast us,    Or boil us in a vat,

And please don’t stick thy servants, Lord,  In a Rotissomat.
