Prayer to Saint Expeditus. I came back to this site to give my public acknowledgement that on my second novena, partial monies came to me of which I asked. February is not over yet and I’m on my third novena to which I pray for financial security and stability in earning $4,000 monthly. I have been in upheaval for quite some time, even my daughter, not just because of the car accident but other ‘odd happenings’ that brought discord to our lives. I am almost three months behind in bill payments. However I met someone (by sucking up my pride and going to ’get help’) who then led me to another person who in turn worked for an agency that accepted me for a government grant to pay $500 to hydro and $500 to my gas bill. I owe them more than that, but at least now I will not have to worry that I’ll get ‘cut off’ And, my ex owes me $5,700 to which would greatly help me out, so I pray Saint Expeditus will influence him to ‘do that which is right and just.’ I still want to find ‘my own $4,000 monthly income,’ to which I did find a site that has great potential, yet life sweeps me away and I am unable ‘to get to it’.
I pray to Saint Expeditus to pray for me and intercede for me that I am able to ‘achieve this petition’ by also finding clarity of mind, solitude of time to work, wisdom to choose that which is good and the ability to go forward into tomorrow knowing with faith that ‘tomorrow will be a better day, but today is the event that later will be the result’.
I find it difficult to believe that I was the last person to write on this commentary. Did I need such omnipotent power that Saint Expeditus could only concentrate on me? Ha, no. Are we not children of God that prosperity is also one of his promises? Are we meant to be of such desperate cause, so that through prayer we will praise and give glory unto Him who can do things that we are unable to do? Or, are we in such a life phase, that by our own admission of our lack, or need, or desire concentrate ourselves to push forward through our fears, our lack, our needs and our desires that we ourselves create the future that our present lives are deficient in. Coincidence or not that I pray Saint Expeditus novena that not only is my plea acknowledged but is also manifested in my life, so be it, Amen.
"Saint Expeditus, Please pray to God to help me to obtain enough financial resources so that I may live peacefully content. Let my heart be full and may my needs be few. Amen."
"Saint Expeditus, I trust that you will pray to God on my behalf and ask Him to help me obtain everything I truly need. Amen"
Three 'Our Father' and three 'Hail Mary' prayers. Then the 9 day novena.

Comment by Josh on How to Spice Up Your Sex Life and Save Your Relationship
Trust me, to all those who think that your not having sex because your partner isn't attracted to you anymore, its not true. This goes mostly for the guys out there but your woman will not tell you what she really wants haha. Not all woman but a lot of them. They want you to figured it out, its more real, more romantic/sexy that way. Just be assertive. 90% of the time, being aggressive will give you the results you want!

Comment by Dr Dreadful on Iran's Bold Move
Is questioning historical events outlawed in the West?
Person, I hope Glenn isn't going to be duped by your ingenuously-worded question, because I'm not.
Denying the Nazi Holocaust, or genocide in general, is outlawed in a number of European countries - fourteen of them, to be exact - and in Israel.
However, that leaves around 40-50 'western' countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland and Australia, in which there is no such prohibition.
Taking your question literally, the answer is yes. But it's a leading question. It's the same as if I were to ask you 'do you fight with your brother?' and claim based on your 'yes' answer that you have a terrible relationship with your brother because you're always fighting.
All this really tells us is that there is no homogeneous entity called 'the West', just as the Islamic world isn't a unified bloc.

Comment by Jamkomo on Graphic Novel Review: Hatter M - The Looking Glass Wars, Volume One by Frank Beddor, Liz Cavalier, and Ben Templesmith
After hearing that I "had" to read this, that it was head and shoulders towering over other graphic novels, and how it could stand on it's own as a work of literature; I have to say, I expected a let down.
I was right. It has some inventiveness, but the author has played too many video games, and not read enough literature. The stupid hat "strength counts" for example. Well maybe he originally intended to write a game story line, who knows.
And the art...well it's sloppiness may be "stylish," but it sometimes with it's "sketchiness," it distracts from whatever verisimilitude can exist in such a story. And the most fantastic of stories, with the wildest story lines can have trueness. It just distracting. As for the characters...I don't care what happens to either Alyss or the Hatter, the Quenn, or anyone else. That above all is it's failing.

Comment by Susanna on A Biased Look at FOX News
I apologize on behalf of at least half the Australian population that an Australian as vile as Rupert Murdoch has polluted your press with Fox News ( the other half may disagree)The trouble is that Fox News is so outrageous and so replellent that I find myself watching it -not really believing that it is for real. In Australia if a female news reader or reporter was as "dolled" up as FN "gals" are, we would not take them seriously!

Comment by Horace Mungin on Obama’s Authenticity Shines Through Bombastic Inquisition
Think you Clavos, now I see how the mix up played out. Clavos, I'm thinking of writing a review of Prof. Frankfurt's book mentioned in my article. Alan, does 49 and 50 remain retracted?

Comment by Person on Iran's Bold Move
Thank you Dreadful. So questioning historical events is illegal in some Western European countries. Isn't it strange how our good friend Glenn has kept in the dark about this, but knows so much about Iran's forms of censorship? Somehow I doubt that this is an accident. We in Iran are proud that we can question all historical events.
In the other Western countries like the United States, is there not informal censorship and death threats for those who question the holocaust? These two links (from question #1) seem to say so: here and here.
Is anyone in the West brave enough to respond to these two links?

Comment by Alan Kurtz on The Kennedy $25 Bill: A Good Idea Whose Time Has Come
Jet Gardner (#133), that's a rewrite of your earlier comment #82, and says little about friendship. Granted that sexuality is as much psychological as physical. But that doesn't prove that if all men were completely straight, they wouldn't have any male friends. Straight men compartmentalize friendship and sexuality. Just as it's unnecessary for a heterosexual man be friends with a woman in order to have a satisfying sexual relationship with her, friendship between two straight men need not involve homosexual attraction on the part of one or both. I think you're extrapolating from your experience as a gay man, so your theory doesn't ring true.

Comment by Christopher Rose on Iran's Bold Move
As Person is making a big deal of being in the West, I thought it might be of interest to point out that their IP address is located in California...
As to their latest questions, yes, there is certainly informal censorship of those who question the holocaust and it wouldn't surprise me if there were occasionally death threats too.
However, in the larger picture, where is there not informal censorship and often formal censorship too?

Comment by Alan Kurtz on Iran's Bold Move
Christopher Rose (#140), I'm confused by your assertion that "Person is making a big deal of being in the West." Do you mean that Person claims to himself be in the West? I reread all of his posts on this thread and found no such claim. To the contrary, in comment #56 he writes: "We in Iran …"
Or do you mean that Person is making a big deal of the rest of us--his critics--being in the West? He has definitely done that.
Also, when you point out that their (not his) IP address is located in California, are you implying that Person is more than one individual? I'm no computer geek, but can an IP address tell you how many people are posting from that location?

Comment by Christopher Rose on Iran's Bold Move
Sorry for any ambiguity, Alan; I meant the latter. They are in the West, not in Iran. I thought that made a difference and other commenters deserved to know that.
By using the word their, I was trying to be gender neutral, not implying that more than one person is involved.

Person, I'm no lawyer, but the revelation (comment #140) that your IP address is located in California may violate the Blogcritics and Technorati privacy policy, which pledges that while IP addresses are collected and stored by Blogcritics/Technorati, they will not be used to publicly identify individual visitors and will not be shared outside the company, "except as aggregated statistics or as required by law." In other words, you may have legal grounds to object to this revelation, which could conceivably lead to identifying you individually.
