One of the genuinely good things about the old GOP WASP era was the aesthetics, tracing a direct line back to old Yankees’ Protestant aversion to showy displays of wealth. Like driving an old Volvo. A confident and wealthy America secure enough not to rub your nose in it.

"I was in Wichita Falls for a wedding.  A Catholic wedding.  Where the reception was alcohol-free.  The long drive home down plenty of barren stretches of road gave me ample time to ponder exactly which of my many sins that experience was punishment for, but in spite of my multitude of sins . . . some of which are so appalling, I didn't enjoy even a brief memory of them . . . I couldn't come up with a single one worthy of the punishment of a dry Catholic wedding reception in Wichita Falls."

There.  Just wrote the first paragraph of my novel.


As a teenager, my mom and her mother forced my older sister and me to attend a winter wedding at a community church in OKC. When we were told our sunday would be spent at said church, my sister and I grew angry. We did not know these distant relatives and had no interest in their wedding.

Did I mention the wedding was to take place during the super bowl? Yeah. They wanted to ruin a great American holiday. Upon further questioning about what kind of heretics would do such a thing, my sister became convinced we were attending a cult wedding. My grandmother countered by saying that they couldn’t possibly be a cult; the couple was doing so well financially, they weee honeymooning in Switzerland.

As we suffered through the wedding ceremony, we found that a) we had to sit through a sermon b) they were going on a mission to switzerland c) they passed around a collection plate during the ceremony to help fund the mission

The ceremony was a bore. No music. No alcohol. I missed the entire super bowl.

That was the day I began losing my religion.

The annoying ones my wife knew that made her want to attend this wedding did not drink any alcohol except the offering wine. 

Yeah I went to a wedding in 2021 for two Italian Catholics and not only did everyone get a bottle of wine with their name on it, but the reception was down in Jersey. Drove an hour to ge there to watch all these Italians get trashed as well as everyone else there. I had stopped drinking well before then, but it was impressive to watch.

About a week before I got married in a six-minute Methodist wedding ceremony, I had the brilliant idea to call someone at the Catholic church to see if I needed to fill out some form so I, a Catholic, could get permission to get married with the Methodists.  I called a Msgr. Botik at Christ the King Catholic Church, and after I told him my situation, he told me I had to cancel the wedding.

"If you marry that woman, in that Church, you will be a heartbeat over hell."  I told him I would get back to him.  He actually called me and left voice messages the next few days.

Christ the King is the Park Cities church.  I kicked myself for not calling Holy Trinity Catholic Church - the gay Catholic Church in Oak Lawn.  I actually walked in and told a priest over there what the Monsignor had told me. "Oh that's Father Botik - he's pre-Vatican II.  Get married, and then in a couple of years bring you wife by and maybe we can convert her." 

Most of my more intimate exposure to Catholics is through Jesuit priests, so I'm a bit shocked to hear that from anyone of a surly generation in most of Texas.

And, I'm also a bit shocked to hear that from CTK.  Although it is the PC Catlick church, being Catlick in the PC is kind of non-conformist in and of itself and they run an elementary school, so I am surprised it was that retrograde.

The Jesuit priests I've known might have said that between gulps of wine, and then burst out laughing and made an excommunication joke.

Weren't you trying to sell your used Chevy Avalanche a couple of years ago?  There's a bumpsticker around these days that says "You're closer to being homeless than to being a billionaire."  I've seen your house, dude.  You better hope to God for some of that good old fashioned Biden stability, because if things keep up you're going to wish you had that Avalanche so you could put a camper on the back.

I attended a baptist wedding not too long ago, and I swear about half of it was how women should submit to their husbands. It was disgusting.

The best part of it is the women that agree. Meanwhile my wife gets mad I don’t tell her I am taking the day off ( I get 8 weeks and she gets 2 ). Many year ago she woke me up saying I was almost lay and I said I’m off today. She was shocked and said I didn’t know and I said you didn’t need to know. Go to work.

Well, Looner has seemed to be quite allied with Hegseth, although her loyalties seem to be ever-shifting.'

Judging by her most recent spewage, this would seem to be Musk, if he is a "high level official."

Or, MTG, she's a whore and she and Looner can't stand each other.

Or, she's been calling for Blondi's resignation and that would sort of "make sense."

It is the collapse of the American empire. It was guaranteed to happen at some point, we just happen to be the unlucky bastards alive to live the ride down to destruction of our culture and society. 

Every year, month by month, will be worse for Americans. This is going to be an extremely ugly collapse.

I still have my avalanche.  It’s fully restored for my son to drive.  I’m also teaching him to drive standard in my 911. I don’t know why my cars are relevant.  Neither are my finances or my age, or my race.
 

I thought that yacht   had a beautiful interior design that would be a nice style for the White House.  Nice use of gold tones and great lines.  
 

I think it’s funny that people rail on interior design and somehow make that a political issue.

If the Democratic Party is the "permanent minority" then why all the effort to suppress their vote?

The same reason we have to destroy the satellite gathering intelligence on global warming that doesn't exist.  And once we have brainwashing disguised as education instead of independent thought, then we'll openly demand to drink purified fracking water.  Personally, I'd prefer Brawndo in this scenario, but we'll get worse.

They say he's the worst dog ever. Very low-IQ dog. I barely knew him. 

We had a cocker spaniel growing up.  I can vouch for the very low-IQ dog statement.  Great dog, but dumb as shit.
