Is it any wonder that Protestantism was a great success? Finally white people like me could get a fair deal, a decent break, after centuries of being oppressed and harassed and abused by these nasty hateful Catholics. I don't trust those garbage people one bit so if they don't trust me I couldn't care less. Everybody knows that Catholics dogs are just mean and nasty, nothing more.

Yes, that was so mean what those guys did to Mike Rogers. He was telling me his pitiful story about being harrassed and abused by some guys who included his own brother and, well, what could I say? Yes, that was so mean. So I tried to be nice but of course I don't really want to collect too many of these pitiful cases following me around looking to monopolize my attention. Mike is not really the kind of guy who would ever care about what is happening in my life or anything like that, not that I would even be interested after that. No, Mike is only thinking about himself. He is just another pitiful puppy who must necessarily be left behind the pet store window because I cannot afford to take this stuff home with me. Not to be mean or anything but life is short.

Yes, it is bit disconcerting. Wouldn't you be insulted if your first cousin's political agenda was hanging over your head like a sword, as if I should drop all my plans and spend all my time working on all his junk? Since when do my unemployed high school dropout cousins tell me what my priorities ought to be? Should I apologize for having a thought independent of my cousins? I mean, really, I have visited Fisherman's Wharf and rode on those little cable cars up and down Telegraph Hill. I have experienced Russian Hill's downhill turns and browsed through Chinatown shops. Nevertheless, San Francisco doesn't mean very much to me. I really never cared very much about their Bay Area attitude problem.

There was a group of us coming or going from the MK Retreat, I don't remember exactly who all was there. I do remember that at the airport Terry made some comment about being afraid that the security guards might catch him so I made some comment, thinking that he was only kidding so I would continue the joke a bit more since they seem to enjoy doing that type of humor to other people, and then Terry said that I scared him, that he thought maybe I was the police checking on him. Ha ha ha. Only kidding. But then again if you were seriously afraid of getting caught at something then I don't get it because I really didn't know you were guilty of something. It was only a joke. Ha ha ha.

Yes, that is an interesting question. Did Chris actually kill his Aunt Suzanne or did she die of natural causes so suddenly? Well, all I can say is that all that 500 pounds or so of weight did not do anything for her health plus being single and never married and then she died in the nursing home where they were trying to help her. I don't remember the whole story. You would have to ask Chris about the details of that. What a rude question to ask unless you are the police. How dare you threaten to kill me, too. I will have your head on a platter first.

Oh, didn't I hear some yapping that sounded like Caroline defending her brother John? Something about the "open air" meetings in front of Central Park that were photographed and printed in magazines nationwide. And then there is the endless online chatter about Caroline's plane ticket. As if I could care less about those haughty arrogant rich people who happen to be Irish but have not learned how to spell nacharliczashun, much less pass their U.S. melting pot examinations. As if I should feel guilty about reading the news. I never really understood why these party people are talking to me. I was never really one of them. Independence is a good thing. I have no connection whatever to the dreary Johnson & Johnson institutions whatever that meant. I was never the Johnson family maid in case you forgot. I might not be so interested in your party spy games as you seem to imagine, especially as you are just playing games with my head anyway and I don't appreciate that one bit.

Oops! I was confused. It was Poteat in "The Withered Fig Tree" who says: "You are poor because you deserve to be." Ok, well, there is yet another book I had never heard of until recently. So many books, so little time.
