Mom used to say,
“BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE, AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR.”
Yup, she got that right! There’s a major downpour with heavy amounts of B.S. flying down at us these days, don’t you think? It gets better — since it’s an election year, you’ll have to sit tight and enjoy the monsoon, because I’m certain the cow cookies will be hitting us hard and heavy, come fall.
(ITALIAN LESSON: Storm = Tempesta)
No worries, I’m steering clear of politics and religion today. I already covered a bit about the good ol’ Catholic days in a few of these fun and slightly irreverent posts:
Sadistic priest burns little girl with cigar
Confessions of a Naughty Catholic (Part 1)
The Very Wretched Sister Urselena
Palm Sunday: Church with a Door Prize!
So, go out and get yourself a sturdy pair of thigh-high boots, a “gale force” umbrella, and please remember Ma’s wisdom.
Feel free to share your opinions about those political messages you know you’ll be enjoying on the tube soon — I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Lee,
I really do not let myself be opened up to any kinda bullshit, because it’s just that, BULLSHIT. It just “drop jaws” me when it comes from “educated” leaders and they expect one to eat it with a smile on one’s face without an napkins available. This guy I love, because he doesn’t eat any bullshit… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE ~Nek™

Loved this post. So relevant today. There is so mich “information” available to us through traditional channels, social media etc. it is hard to know what we can and cannot believe. Your Mother’s wisdom is a wonderful guideline!
Thanks for sharing!
@ Kat:
Yes, Mom did have a way with words – and those words have much more power these days, that’s for sure!
Thanks so much for your comment

Bullshit is the fuel for 24/7 “news” and partisan idiocy that run rampant through the comments section of just about any blog or website. If not politics, it’s the small minded, trifling, nearly inbred nonsense focused on such weighty issues as the hairstyle of a young Olympic champion. Honest to God, if we get any lower, we’ll have to look up to see the sidewalk.
@ Ange:
Look up to see the sidewalk — love it!! Funny, I feel that way when reading some Facebook posts these days (arrrggg)!!
