Child fuckin

Here's a story about a group of alleged Catholic priest sexual assault victims who are upset because a Davenport bishop is warning that his diocese may have to go into bankruptcy to deal with the endless payouts. To be fair, the bishop refused to let an independent advisor examine the diocese's financial situation.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is it really possible that this many priests were sex abusers? It seems like a witchhunt that goes on and on . . . but maybe it's deserved. The high-stakes monetary payouts are what make it seem questionable . . . but it seems dangerous to start doubting sex assault victims.

I dunno, I'm just wondering about all this right now instead of writing my presentation for tonight which, interestingly enough, is abouthttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif Nabakov's Lolita.

Some kid at UNI made Sarah a pirate music compilation once, and I'm listening to it right now, and it's like . . . landed on Sailing Medley sung by 'Disneyland Children' and some tenor who sounds castrated, gay, and zonked on a prozac & estrogen milkshake. Imagine the most gentle 'blow the man down' you can.

As I know most of us here enjoy our piratey things, let me offer the good parts of this collection:

Aquabats -- Captain Hamton & the Pirate Midgets
Unicorns -- Sea Ghost (didn't listen to all this one, but it uses the phrase 'watery deaths.'
Decemberists -- Mariner's Revenge

I guess that's it. Damn.
