Holy Week Update 04/20/19
Barr’s DOJ even made the link for the Mueller Report obscure and hard to find! (As Seth Meyers pointed out!!!!)
I looked and looked last night and today on DOJ website and did not find the link, but finally I got the actual DOJ link via replay of Seth Meyers show from other day on my dvr! Go figure! I had also found a printable pdf link from a cbs news link. But for whatever reason, I could not crack the New York Times online version (to get to the original document) which was not in a PDF format for printing the document. So it is, or has been, a saga for me just to be able to print the darn thing! So now I just have to order more ink for my printer and get a new supply of printer paper! (It probably would be cheaper to buy it from Amazon since printer ink ain’t cheap!) However, I think I might use the backside of my already printed New York Times pages because they are just not in the right format! Oh, and it does not escape me that all this time I could have been reading the thing! But I have been listening to some excellent analysis on MSNBC and PBS, so it is probably good that I was wrapped up in the problems of printing for otherwise Mueller’s Report would have been MORE of a distraction this holy week!
Speaking of holy week, all of the cleaning and filing and shredding and laundry that I was going to do this week did not happen! However, this afternoon I intend to tackle some of it because I am almost out of printer ink!
I do not yet have any plans for travel or for Easter, but I am counting on all the angels and saints, but especially counting on the Lord, in his passion, death and resurrection, to help me reach our ultimate goal via these smaller daily ones (through which I plod)! I feel really blessed in this winter of lies and rampant corruption when I can keep my eyes on the prize, as they say. And to critics who think I am obsessed, I still declare that is not a fair or true claim. Let me explain:
Faith and hope and love do provide a moral compass, especially when tested. And the testing does shine a light on the diabolical nature of evil: chaos, mendacity, greed, cruelty, rage, cowardice, darkness, strife, narcissism, retaliation, demagoguery, despotism. Sadly, unapologetically, and with some theological basis, I do find that Donald J Trump is an apt and public incarnation of diabolical evil, but there are many evils in today’s world: wars in Syria, Yemen, Ukraine; the refugee crisis throughout the world; failed governments; despotic leaders; famine, fires, floods, climate change denial; human trafficking and sexual predators; unjust imprisonment, killing or disappearance of journalists; economic injustices; voter suppression; racism; bigotry; capital punishment; gun violence; endless detention of asylum seeking immigrants; caging babies and children; etcetera.
Solutions? Obviously there are many solutions (preaching to the choir!), but they definitely include: Prayer. Action. Resistance. Voting. Supporting congressional oversight, the Rule of Law, US Constitution, UN, NATO, RAICES, ACLU, responsible journalism, a living wage, affordable healthcare, quality affordable education, freedom of religion; etcetera.
It looks like there is plenty of work ahead for good people willing to do something.
Happy Pasch! Happy Spring!
Hallelujah
