A Prayer for Priests and Bishops: O God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the eternal High Priest for the glory of Thy Majesty and the salvation of mankind; grant that they whom He hath chosen to be His ministers and the stewards of His mysteries, may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry which they have received. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen –Taken from the Roman Missal. — http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/prayers/view.cfm?id=989

IS THAT RHETORICAL? Helen Thomas: Who Do They Think We Are, Puppets?

Helen Thomas to CNSNews on the unprecedented lengths the Obama White House goes to to control the press.

“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try. What the hell do they think we are, puppets?”.

Thomas made her comments after this week’s carefully-orchestrated “town hall” meeting on Obamacare.

“I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well–for the town halls, for the press conferences. It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”
