I think he might be upset.

I couldn't help but laugh at the Catholic League's latest episode of epic butthurt courtesy of Bill Donohue. I couldn't help but snicker as he let out another spittle flecked tirade aimed this time at a couple of New Hampshire politicians. I laughed and said, "Oh, he mad!"

Why is he mad? Well, because a couple of politicians decided that since the Catholic League threw a hissy fit over another politician calling one of the Catholic Church's bishops a pedophile pimp. And two of these other politicians called them out for the Catholic Church's pedo-enabling ways. Oh. No. They. Didn't!

"Rep. Lynne Ober wrote the following to us in an e-mail: "I agree that is certainly unfortunate that the Catholic League chooses to harbor a person who helped pedophiles continue abusing children."

"Rep. Manuse wrote this missive. "I am now considering a bill to remove the Church's tax-exempt status in New Hampshire, for you have clearly shown that you no longer want it.""

So you insult a couple of politicians, who are there to serve the people of the state of New Hampshire because they're meanies. They (and I'm certain the majority of the residents of New Hampshire, aren't too big on pedophiles either), so why wouldn't they return the Catholic League's unreasonable butthurt with a statement that's pretty straightforward and to the point? The Catholic Church is guilty of harboring, aiding, abetting, and hiding the fact that it's clergy were sexually abusing children. Child rapists. Now, not every priest is a child rapist, and I'm not saying that at all, but it is a problem that is global. This has been an issue everywhere. Throwing a temper tantrum every time that this problem the Catholic Church has with it's priestly pedophiles solves nothing. 

Stop denying the abuse, shuffling those who harm children to another place, and let the abusers face the law. These people should not be given a pass to destroy another person's life because they've learned from a special magic book dedicated to an angry and assholish sky daddy. No one should be given a pass when they rape and destroy a child. No one. Ever.

Of course, Master of Drama had to blow up. Since these congress persons did not direct anything to him, but to the organization, he wants them to say it to his face!

"Why doesn't Ober take the next step by personally accusing me of harboring a person who helped pedophiles continue to abuse children? Organizations can't sue for libel, but individuals can."  

I'm pretty sure she meant what she said. The Catholic Church has aided, abetted, and enabled pedophiles to continue to abuse children. She never said Donohue was running an underground Pedobear railroad. She's obviously not going to play into your game Billy boy. That's ridiculous. The Catholic League makes themselves look like complete buffoons and idiots every time they get butthurt because their papal overlords are okay with hide the kiddy fiddler. Especially when the rage is due to someone actually mentioning that the Catholic Church has an issue with kiddy fiddlers in their clergy.  

Why won't people just stop saying words about our precious church! Why won't they stops saying words and making it look bad! Sorry. The Church is responsible for that. Get over yourself Billy.

"Why doesn't Manuse go right ahead with his bill to remove the Church's tax-exempt status? We'd love to present his e-mail in court."

Oh you! And what exactly will that e-mail do? If a law is passed, there is no court. No hearing, no nothing. It's either a law or it isn't. The bill was successful or unsuccessful. Good luck with that Billy. 

"Didn't anyone ever tell these lawmakers to be careful what they put in writing? In any event, it's time these two heard from our members."

I'm contemplating sending the two of them an e-mail encouraging them to continue to troll the Catholic League. If they've got them this butthurt, they must be doing something right.

 

I don't just watch cartoons and play vidya

Honestly I don't just watch cartoons and play video games all the time, though I must admit that it probably seems like I do. I do like to cook at times too. Today I baked an apple caramel cake and last night we had homemade pizza. I have a bad habit of taking pics and sharing them. Just to make others hungry. And to prove that I didn't just learn carpentry and construction from my dad, but also cooking from my mom. I didn't learn how to sew, but man can I use some power tools!

Hopefully it tastes as good as it's made the house smell this afternoon. RelUnrelated missed most of it after it went in the oven because chemo has made him pass out on the couch with a blanket of kitties. He hasn't been doing too bad with the salvage chemo, but this is the first round of it, 3 days in a row. Next up, 10 days of shots and a blood draw every week until the chemo is over. Next cycle of chemo is about two weeks away. If he digs into the cake like he has the rest of the food we've had lately, I'll know the chemo is going good again.

Untreated mental illness

Anyone who is an atheist that has been online for any length of time has heard the name Dave Mabus or Dennis Markuze before. He is a very mentally ill individual that has a history of threatening anyone who dares to call themself an atheist or skeptical. He has an especial hard on for James Randi and P.Z. Myers. If you haven't had the displeasure of dealing with this sick individual, please take the time to learn about him from any of the following links:

Sorry our bad

Operation Mabus 

He's recently discovered Twitter and has taken full advantage of it's capabilities to stalk, harass, and threaten anyone he can think of. Politicians, celebrities, and plain old people. He's very full of wit too. Of course whenever his bile spews forth in my direction I am taking screenshots of his nonsense. It's being kept as a record of his behavior because Twitter and none of the authorities in Canada seem to be all that keen on putting a stop to his behavior. He makes up to 50 accounts at a time, which do not seem to last very long and then fixates on people and mass spams them with his ridiculous jabber and tinfoil hattery. He's an unsucessful troll, but I'm certain that his behavior does frighten people. He erases all of the threats he makes from his account, as if evidence of his behavior isn't apparent from the screen grabs that people are taking for evidence. 

He truly is a master of wit.

 

Of course he spams you out of nowhere and jumps on anyone you're conversing with at the time, so don't be surprised when people are like WTF? Who the hell is that psycho?

 

And as you'll see, he has a very single minded way of thinking. He is unable to come up with even the most imaginative of threats or insults. I am amused that he hasn't quite grasped my sex either. I love ambiguity.

 

 

It's quite easy to get him angry. Mockery and pointing out that he's an internet tough guy go a long way at getting him to blow up in rage and get kicked out of the internet cafe where he's taken temporary residence to spam his message in. He can't get online at home anymore apparently. Gee, I wonder why that is?

 

 

One of the more effective taunts is about his miniature dick. This seems to set him off quite quickly. Apparently mentioning that a man has no pecker is super effective. Then again, I wouldn't classify a unemployed 40 year old that lives in his mommy's basement as a man anyway.

 

 Yes. You see now that someone who refers to himself in plural and spends his time obsessing over Depeche Mode and Nostradamus knows quite a bit about reality.

 

He was mad at this point and could only fall back on his standard spam message that chages very little. At times he uses different URLs but it's always something that makes no sense whatsoever and does little to help others believe he is a person who needs no medical attention.

 

 

This came about by me telling him that well, it takes a tough guy to threaten complete strangers that are having their own conversation on the internet that don't give a shit about your conspiracies.

 

 

When he asked if we wanted to see what comes next, the dick jokes just roll out. I can't help it.

 

 

Yup. We were having a conversation about food I believe. And this is what happens. All of these happened on Wednesday of this week.

This was from my husband calling him what he is, a stalker. My husband was getting chemo drugs pumped into him at that point. Takes a tough guy to harass cancer patients undergoing treatment. Takes a bigger man to tell a psycho to fuck off while getting chemo pumped into their veins.

This was the tweet that started his stalking for Wednesday. I was talking to my husband who was at Chemotherapy about how he was feeling while I was at work. I didn't see the nonsense until I got home because I use my phone when I'm not at home to get on Twitter.

 

 Another classic from March 1. I do believe I was having a conversation about anime. He's a classy fucker isn't he? Knows how to talk to people to get them to see his world view. Winning hearts and minds daily.

This lovely one is from two weeks ago. See what I mean by persistant? Spam and then threaten because no one fawns over your bullshit. 

February 26th on this one. He will look at anyone you tweet to and add them to his spam list. Can you tell?

This is what he does, day in and day out. It doesn't matter if you've never even heard of him or not. If you talk to someone he's fixated on, you're bound to get included.

 

Remember this last one. This is the only reason he needs to fixate on a person. If he does begin stalking you, take screenshots and keep them dated with the day he made the threat. Post them publicly. Retweet his threats. Don't let him bury this behavior. Eventually it will have to be addressed by police and mental health professionals, despite the fact that his family doesn't believe him to be ill. His behavior shows that he is indeed ill. Don't be afraid of him, unless you live in Montreal, Canada. He his an internet tough guy right now and all he can do is spew impotent rage at random  people online. If you do feel threatened, document and notify your police department with the evidence of his behavior. They can't ignore it forever. 

Descent into the gutter?

Bill Donohue giving his overlords the all clear.

Yeah, that's probably not the nicest thing to say, but I honestly don't give a flying fuck. Bill Donohue is proving once again that he is a scummy, inconsiderate, selfish piece of papist feces. The way that people are discussing the Catholic Church's issue of not being able to keep their hands off of kids is not a problem that is caused by the way the media reports it, whether they are Catholic or not, Mr. Donohue. The problem with priests being a bunch of pedos is the problem and the church covering up years of abuse of innocent children is the problem. If you don't like the fact that the media is reporting the facts in this matter, perhaps you should push your papal overlords to make certain that the pedos are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law instead of pushing them off to another diocese. Then there wouldn't be a problem. 

So sez pedo-enabler Bill:

"Sexual abuse of minors is unfortunately a social problem that touches virtually every segment of the population where adults and minors interact on a regular basis. Nowhere is this less a problem today than in the Catholic Church: the norms it has adopted have led to a massive reduction in priestly sexual abuse since its peak in the early 1980s. But recent reports about old cases continue to surface, the latest being stories out of the Philadelphia archdiocese."

Yes Billy, abuse happens when adults that are pedos are allowed to interact with children. And somehow this is less of a problem in the Catholic church? Ummm... where are your figures on this Billy boy? Because it seems like every day a new crop of protected kiddy fiddlers shows up under the roof and protection of the Catholic church. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't think that even one incident should be tolerated at all. These men have issues and it may be hard to control themselves, but they know right from wrong, legal from illegal. They broke the law the minute they touched a single kid and you need to quit protecting the scum by trying to place the blame elsewhere. This is a church problem, sure, but it's also a problem that has destroyed thousands of children and damaged their lives permanently. Fuck you if you don't like the truth when it slaps you in your face. Fuck you sideways with a rusty rake and no lube.

He continues with this:

"When journalists and commentators discuss sexual abuse, they rarely offer a graphic description of the sex act; they properly assume that readers get the gist of what occurred when they say someone was raped. [Note: the vast majority of priestly abuse cases did not involve rape.] But when it comes to priests, a different standard is evident: the most detailed descriptions are offered. 

"Without getting into the gutter with those whose prurient interests make ordinary voyeurs appear normal, it will not be repeated here exactly what was said."

Voyeurs? And you wonder why there aren't graphic descriptions of the abuse? What kind of sick fuck are you Mr. Donohue? You want detailed descriptions of kids lives being shattered by the sick fucks your church have been hiding for decades? You are a sad excuse for a human being. You are just as bad as those your papal overlords have been protecting. What the fuck kind of person wants descriptions of children being raped and molested? And who the fuck cares if the kids weren't "raped" but molested. It's the same fucking difference. A person in power taking advantage of another sexually and oppressing them with threats and sometime violence. Fuck you Donohue, you're no better than the child raping and molesting fucks you seem to idolize.

What's that Billy boy, you have an idea of what's really going on? Please enlighten us:

"We know what's going on: get Catholics so riled up that they will demand the Church adopt the liberal agenda on sexuality. They just don't get it: it was the detour from orthodoxy that allowed the abuse scandal to take hold in the first place."

Huh. Really? I think I'd rather see Catholics getting angry that their spiritual leaders are complicit in the mass molestation of children and demand that those responsible face the law. That's what I'd like to see. And "the detour from orthodoxy that allowed the abuse scandal to take hold in the first place"? What detour was that Bill? The fact that people are finally speaking out against these kind of actions that the church is and will always be responsible for by covering it up? The "keep your mouth shut and shunt this bad apple off somewhere else where he can do it again" orthodoxy? Wow. You really are a repugnant piece of shit, aren't you? Thanks Catholic League for once again proving that you're on the side of pedos and not at all interested in helping the innocent victims of your papal overlords. I hope you sleep well at night you piece of shit.

Slowly making some progress

The last month has been pretty special. RelUnrelated lost his job. Because they're trying to save money, yet continue to throw money into inept work being done by contractors. Kind of like when they had the lobby repainted... and they painted over the wallpaper. Which bubbled and sagged and looks like shit. And is going to have to be redone because of the various other issues that were not taken care of properly. These people have no idea what they're doing and hired "property managers" that knew even less. But that's not the only highlight.

In the past two weeks we drove my father, who I had to push around in a wheelchair part of the time to another state after some really nasty problems with medications and being snowed in where one of his doctors are located due to the nasty weather. There were 18 inches of snow in a day in a half so they weren't going anywhere. And he was tripping balls the entire time, but the docs didn't seem to think it was the meds. *facepalm* My mom called me up the day before they needed to go because that's what the doctor's office did. Which meant we had to be up at 3:30 AM to drive them to another state. It took all fucking day and they found out he's still anemic and they don't know why. Which is why we went all the way over there in the first place. They told him to take iron. Which is what I had told him 2 weeks earlier. And that his testosterone levels are very, very low. That may have been more helpful in the past. He wouldn't have had so many damn kids. Then again, who would drive him places and take him fishing? They shipped him home after saying they really needed to have him come back and get a full-body CAT scan. It was urgent. So the doctor's office called yesterday and said his appointment is in May. It was that urgent. 

Also, we got a call from the hospital in yet another state, but oddly closer to my parent's house, that RelUnrelated was to report there for his first appointment at the cancer center, to prepare for the stem cell transplants. Which is good. And about damn time. If only we knew anything else about the assistance we're trying to get. But, he has a phone interview with SS on Friday morning and has to call the state to find out what paperwork they need from him, since they sent him a letter, with a list, but neglected to tell him how far back they need check stubs for. We could have that all together, you know, if they could have put that on the list of documentation that they needed from us. It would be too much to make anything easy, wouldn't it?

So, we'll possibly know something more on March 3rd. At least we'll know what they docs down at the cancer center have to say about the transplants and perhaps they can prod the slow ass state in the proper direction. He fits all criteria for disability and did so last May, but he continued to work through chemo and everything else. Thankfully the hospital and cancer center here have community help programs that paid for his treatment. We wouldn't be able to pay for it at all otherwise and I would probably be widowed. I am very thankful for the awesome hospital and doctors and nurses and everyone that had a hand in getting RelUnrelated somewhat better, and it was no fault of theirs that the chemo wasn't as effective as we hoped it was. It was the fact that over time, the cancer cells adapt to the chemo and it's not as effective. Hopefully, the stem cell transplants will finally whip the fucker and we can do the routine check ups and not ever have to worry about it again. 

More when we hear more. Hopefully it will be good news.

Nothing new

We still haven't heard anything more about the medical help we're trying to get to continue RelUnrelated's cancer treatment. It's frustrating waiting to hear something, knowing that the masses could start growing again and potentially make him very ill again. We did get the results from his pulmonary tests and they were a bit disappointing. His lung capacity back in May of last year was 97% despite how ill he was. It is now at 75% due to the chemotherapy. This explains his shortness of breath going up a flight of stairs. He can never have that form of medication again, the oncologist has already stated that. I'm hoping that we will hear something soon. It may be my imagination, but the node on his neck that had gotten so large appears to be making an appearance again, at least to me. It's probably because I'm worrying about it. 

We did get some good news though, his oldest daughter is planning her wedding for March, so that is good news. I'm hoping that we will be able to attend without him being sick. I probably don't say it enough, but both of his daughters are awesome and the best anyone could ask for. I try to let them know that too. I'm glad that I can be a part of their father's life and theirs, no matter how small a part it is. Hopefully we get some more good news, and the sooner the better. Cancer is a very tiring thing. 

My body is not ready.

Holy FUCK is that a tease! I'm not ready for this. I don't know the story or what the hell it's even about. All I know is that Yoshitaka Amano is making a fucking full length fucking movie of awesome. That is all. My body is not ready at all for the awesome that is the art of Amano. Fuck.
