Social Investing as Secular Religion
Posted by Candidia Cruikshanks, CEO of Wealth Bondage
Hello! Anybody home? God works through the market. The market is the hidden hand of God. By investing for total return, a Foundation does the work of God, not only in its grants but by supporting God's hand at work in the world. Such is my faith, not only as the Queenpin of Global Business but as a fucking Philanthropy Czarina too. Such is the ethic by which I run Wealth Bondage. Such is the ethic by which I run Rooster Foundation: Crowing in the New American Century. To dump Wealth Bondage from a Socially Screened portfolio is an insult to all I hold holy. Lucy Greenholz must be stopped! My dunce at Gifthub is clearly not up to the job. I have put Bill Schambra on the case, though it will cost me a pretty penny. That man understands the value of a dollar. If anyone can prevent the fall of capitalism at the hands of Lucy Greenholz, it would be Bill and the cast of toadying intellectuals he lines up to defend Wealth Bondage. Markets cry out to be Free! My last dollar will go, if need be, into rounding up and shooting all who disagree.

Satire as Service to Philanthropy
Posted by The Happy Tutor
"Let us have a rule to assign just penalties to offenses, lest you flay with the terrible scourge what calls for the strap." - Horace, Satires, I. iii.
All I would add to Phil's eloquent posts in honor of H. Peter Karoff is that paideia, or soul-formation, requires more than Socratic questioning, and sometimes more than parables, or even a living moral example. There are times when only a well-deserved thrashing will do the job. Jesus did carry a whip when he went into Wealth Bondage, as I recall. Now, the money changers are our best clients and we fawn.

Miss Shuganah
Posted by The Happy Tutor
Against the Dumpster leans Miss Shuganah's box. So, we all find our home in community with others. Perhaps leaned up against her box, we will find soon a homeless man in a bedroll, or a child in a basket. We all have much to be grateful for. I for a roof, she for her box, the man for his blanket, the child for the basket. It could always be worse.
Fore!

A Prayer to the Virgin Mary for Albert R.
A Silent Prayer of Sister Lucy's
Mary, Mother of God, the world is so full of temptations. Please help Albert preserve his chastity that at his death in the flesh and resurrection in the spirit he may offer himself unblemished. Amen.

Joe Bageant, Pissing in the Liberal Punchbowl Again
Smoky Joe, JD, in Defense of Freedom
Yet American tolerance for this pendulum bullshit, for this set of fake choices between two powerful groups of political elites who are dancing in the Washington conga line, asshole to belly button pretending they are alternatives to each another, seems endless.
Bi-partisan comity, Joe, it is what makes America great.
Thank You, Baby Jesus
