How to Sew a Face Mask
Okay, let’s have a contest… I want a mask with a Razorback on it, a mask that is OU red with the logo, the Cardinal one she made was really cool. They are talking about sheltering in place here in St. Louis past the original 30 April date so I could use several. Heck I would even take one that had the STL Blues logo on it.

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #9,369
yeah I know you did not ask!
I’m a golfer. Like every other golfer I know I have a love / hate relationship with the game. It is the nature of the sport. Round to round it is never the same. About the time you have a glimmer of hope that you can play the game, the golf gods whack you up side the head and laughingly and not kindly say, “Silly mortal, you should know better!”
All that aside, there are a dumpster full of reasons of why I hate Gospodin Trump, but towards the top of that list is that he has made golfers and golf look so very bad. There is a time and place for everything… except, apparently if you are this POS POTUS.
Dollars are votes for Fox News
Fox News at one level is simply a symptom of the disease overtaking our country. At a different level they are aggravating and are part of the etiology of this malady. The malady is ultra conservatism. The malady is aggrandizing of Trump, unfettered capitalism, racism and pseudo-religious values. The malady is the denigration of immigrants, other religions, people of color, people that do not fit into the Norman Rockwell Continue reading “Dollars are votes for Fox News”

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #2,228
yeah I know you did not ask!
If you have been watching any TV lately you may have noticed there are a plethora of ads promoting how much various companies care about us in these troubling times. They are touting how they have been here for us, are here for us now, will be there for us after the crisis has passed.
If they really care about us and this country they can do two things right now that would have a huge impact on the quality of life in this country.
First, they can stop advertising on Fox News. This network’s goal is to push America to the absolute lowest common denominator. They seem to be succeeding extraordinarily well at this. Fox News is without question a propaganda machine that does not have the best interest of this country at heart.
Secondly, the companies and the executives of these corporations should stop immediately giving money to the GOP. I cannot figure out if the goal of the GOP is the elimination of our democracy or the creation of a Corpocracy, Well…actually it is both.
Barring these corporations suddenly finding a moral compass, perhaps we should stop doing business with any company that advertises on Fox News.
Yeah, I know, I’m dreaming again.

Under normal circumstances, these traits are galling. Under the current ones, they’re gutting.”
