“When I’m with her I’m confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She’s as flighty as a feather
She’s a darling! She’s a demon! She’s a lamb!”
Obviously looking for guidance, Judy Barr Topinka came to see the comedy, Put the Nuns in Charge!, at the Royal George Theatre in Chicago. So far, no evidence of Judy walking around with a big ruler.
Rod… Emil….You two are such a disappointing pair. We prayed so hard for you. It saddens and hurts me to think that the two boys I raised to believe in The Ten Commandments have returned to me as thieves, with filthy mouths and bad attitudes! GET OUT, and DON’T COME BACK…until you’ve redeemed yourselves.
“Oh Lord, please forgive me for sending my Treasurer employees in Chicago on a weekday during normal business hours to work on the petition challenge to knock the Libertarians off the ballot in 2002, or at the very least may Mr. Fitzgerald forgive my transgressions before indictment. And please Lord, don’t let Mr. Fitzgerald or Ms. Madigan finally take a look at the dates on the form I signed to put Alan Keyes on the ballot in 2004 versus the newspaper accounts of when Alan Keyes actually moved to Illinois.”
Well, looks like Judith landed on a…what do you call it? A blog? Hm. Sounds like a disease. Like “bling”. I’ve got the bling! Sounds serious. Anyway, Judith was a good student in my class and if you weren’t there…then someone is going to be angry…and it’s not going to be Judith! Signed…Sister. Post Script: My class is at the Royal George. Don’t be late! Or chew gum.
Dateline 10/31/06: Just mere days before the election, Theresa went trick-or-treating as a nun. Her friend Judy joined her, disguised as a legitimate candidate for the office of Illinois Governor.
You are such a disappointment. I prayed so hard for you. It saddens and hurts me that the young lady whom I taught to believe in the ten commandments has come back to me as a political disappointment, with a filthy mouth and a bad attitude.
