Hand of God


Just as I've got over the enormous 'shock' of Pope Benedict's resignation - another incredible story comes long.

Because the Pontiff's decision to resign his ministry may have taken everyone by surprise - except God of course - it turns out that a small German company knew what was coming all along.

Amazing as it seems, a small Berlin-based publisher - 'Karicartoon' - prints a humorous cartoon for each day of the calendar year.

And on Sunday 10 February 2013 (i.e. the day before the Pope resigned) - the calendar showed a drawing of the Pope sitting in front of the TV while the lottery numbers are announced.

As the Pontiff finds he that he has all seven winning numbers, he exclaims (in Latin presumably):

"Holy s**t! I will resign tomorrow!"

Apparently the drawing was done by cartoonist Katharina Greve in early 2011 - and the editor of the calendar - Jürgen Holtfreter - decided months ago to place the Pope cartoon on Sunday 10 February 2013.

The very next day Joseph Ratzinger's momentous decision - was announced to the rest of the world.

And just to add a bit more spice to the mix - Jurgen Holtfreter - is a retired graphic designer who describes himself as an atheist - and cannot remember the last time he went to a church service.

Now I know that people will just put this down as a remarkable coincidence, but I disagree - I believe that divine providence must have been at work and that Jurgen Holtfreter should be acclaimed as the next Pope - Pope Jurgen I.

Because he's certainly got the knack - when it comes to performing miracles.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
