Sat. April 28, 2012:
Patient Readers, good news comes after the bad.
And it's thanks to George Orwell's observation:
"Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible."
Remember the Philadelphia priest who told one of his 10-year-old male victims,
"It is what God wants"? Evil clergy seemed to be invincible.
Well, the law is finally closing in on bishops & monseigneurs who shamelessly covered up such abuses.
As for Guns: Starting in the 1970's, the National Rifle Association began to seem invincible.
But there may be a silver lining in the tragic Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman saga.
A few lonely voices are calling out the N.R.A.'s role in "Stand Your Ground" laws like Florida's.
An occasional voice even shows how bogus the outrageously powerful NRA's past has been -- especially regarding Mitt Romney's claim that the N.R.A.'s real interest is to protect "the sport of hunting."
Check out Lily Raff McCaulou's "I Hunt, but the N.R.A. Isn't for Me":

What about the Glory? Mitt Romney wants White House glory so badly, he has been prostituting his own meaning of the truth since the 1990's. And Republicans hate "Muslim Socialist" President Obama with such blindness, that they raised more money than Obama at the rate of $80,000,000 to $9,000,000 last month.
Right now, Republican fund-raising seems invincible.
But, remember George Orwell's observation.
Despite all those Koch brothers out there, gloating in the wake of Citizens United, Republicans' downright unpatriotic obstructionism in Congress may have angered enough voters to trump
the few -- but huge -- donations from conservative corporations & fat cats.
