Anchoress in rare bad mood. Ranting and mean.

I love that. The doc’s office calls and says “your bloodwork is off, can’t discuss it on the phone; the doctor would like to see you, would you like an appointment? We have nothing open until Tuesday!”

You can just imagine the way I am muttering through my teeth right now.

They’ll call me if they get a cancellation tomorrow. Grrrrrr.

I’m in a bad mood today and have decided to just stew over this for a while. Then I’ll probably pray. But first, I’m stewing.

And because I am in a bad mood, I am delighted to see Dirty Harry thwack around Rep. John Conyers for the Congressman’s his inane Huffpuff rant.

Also, since I am in a bad mood, let me say that if the world is determined to cast Benedict XVI as a mean-old-obsessive-house-cleaner he cannot get rid of Cardinal Mahoney fast enough, and I wish they’d raze that concrete monstrosity he built in LA.

I think nothing about this spooky, “built without a single right-angle” building disturbs and offends me more than the “modern” image of Mary which hovers over the bronze doors. Cardinal Mahoney, intent on reflecting the age, commissioned a PC, “inclusive” Mary who is supposed to represent “everyone and all cultures.” What crap. God forbid we just allow the very HUMAN mother of Christ to look like a young or old Jewish woman of her time – which she was! No, we have to make her a sexually ambiguous, thick-necked, rather inhuman-looking creature. Because somehow, in Mahoney’s whacked-out world, this makes her more “accessible” to humanity. 2000 years of Marian art doesn’t – to him – indicate that humanity “got” her, before.

I’m sorry, but this thing looks like a male model.

They can save the the exceedingly lovely tapestries and the doors, but as far as I’m concerned, the rest of that building can be pulverized into dust. Maybe Mahoney can sprinkle it around, afterwards.

Why yes, yes, I am in a bad and rather “biting” mood. And yes, I know that last line was probably a line too far. Sigh. Pray for me, please! :-)
