Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (Audible Audio Edition): Ron Chernow, Grover Gardner, Inc. Blackstone Audio: Audible Audiobooks — John D. Rockefeller, Sr., history's first billionaire and the patriarch of America's most famous dynasty, is an icon whose true nature has eluded three generations of historians. Now Ron Chernow, a National Book Award-winning biographer, gives us a detailed and insightful history of the mogul. Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller's exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist.
Democracy in America | Alexis de Tocqueville — In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat and civil servant, made a nine-month journey through the eastern United States. The result was Democracy in America, a monumental study of the strengths and weaknesses of the nation's evolving politics. Tocqueville looked to the flourishing democratic system in America as a possible model for post-revolutionary France, believing its egalitarian ideals reflected the spirit of the age - even that they were the will of God. His insightful work has become one of the most influential political texts ever written on America and an indispensable authority for anyone interested in the future of democracy.
Presentism (literary and historical analysis) - Wikipedia — In literary and historical analysis, presentism is the anachronistic introduction of present-day ideas and perspectives into depictions or interpretations of the past. Some modern historians seek to avoid presentism in their work because they consider it a form of cultural bias, and believe it creates a distorted understanding of their subject matter.[1] The practice of presentism is regarded by some as a common fallacy in historical writing.[2]
The Oxford English Dictionary gives the first citation for presentism in its historiographic sense from 1916, and the word may have been used in this meaning as early as the 1870s. The historian David Hackett Fischer identifies presentism as a fallacy also known as the "fallacy of nunc pro tunc". He has written that the "classic example" of presentism was the so-called "Whig history", in which certain 18th- and 19th century British historians wrote history in a way that used the past to validate their own political beliefs. This interpretation was presentist because it did not depict the past in objective historical context but instead viewed history only through the lens of contemporary Whig beliefs. In this kind of approach, which emphasizes the relevance of history to the present, things that do not seem relevant receive little attention, which results in a misleading portrayal of the past. "Whig history" or "whiggishness" are often used as synonyms for presentism particularly when the historical depiction in question is teleological or triumphalist.[3]
Standard Oil - Wikipedia — Standard Oil Co. Inc. was an American oil producing, transporting, refining, marketing company, and monopoly. Established in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller and Henry Flagler as a corporation in Ohio, it was the largest oil refiner in the world of its time.[7] Its history as one of the world's first and largest multinational corporations ended in 1911, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in a landmark case, that Standard Oil was an illegal monopoly.
Standard Oil dominated the oil products market initially through horizontal integration in the refining sector, then, in later years vertical integration; the company was an innovator in the development of the business trust. The Standard Oil trust streamlined production and logistics, lowered costs, and undercut competitors. "Trust-busting" critics accused Standard Oil of using aggressive pricing to destroy competitors and form a monopoly that threatened other businesses.
Machinehead by Bush - Songfacts — The idea of 'Machinehead' always was about freeing yourself, about losing your ego and just letting rip. I remember writing the riff, and walking around Hyde Park in England thinking, 'I've got something good, I better not screw it up with the lyric.'"

The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity (Origins of Catholic Christianity Trilogy): Taylor Marshall: 9780578038346: Amazon.com: Books — How does Jesus fulfill over three hundred Old Testament Prophecies? (each listed inside this book) Is Catholicism inherently Anti-Semitic? Do the Hebrew Scriptures accurately predict Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah? How does Jewish thinking presuppose devotion to Mary? Is the Catholic Church a fulfillment of historic Israel? How do Jewish water rituals relate to Catholic baptism? Is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass a Passover meal? Should the Catholic priesthood conform to the priesthood established by Moses? How has the Jewish Temple influenced traditional Christian architecture? Does the Pope wear a yarmulke?Praise for The Crucified Rabbi"Taylor Marshall helps us to be more Catholic by taking our faith to its most profound depths - its ancient roots in the religion of Israel, the Judaism beloved by the Apostles, the religion of the Temple and Synagogue, the Torah and the sacrifice. Jesus said he came not to abolish that faith but to fulfill it. In this book, we see that fullness down to the smallest details. I treasure this book." Mike Aquilina, author of The Fathers of the Church"Such sparkling insights appear on almost every page, as Taylor Marshall deftly compares various features of Judaism to their Catholic counterparts: the priesthood, vestments, holy days, marriage, and saints, to name but a few. Saint Augustine's dictum, "The New Covenant is in the Old, concealed; the Old Covenant is in the New, revealed" is on full display in The Crucified Rabbi--Cale Clarke, Catholic Insight Magazine"This is a fascinating book full of interesting details. The Crucified Rabbi should be required reading for every student of the Catholic faith."Father Dwight Longenecker, author of Mary: A Catholic/Evangelical Debate

February 07, 2020Bishop Barron's Mandatum and the Lack of Public Life
Bishop Barron floated an idea out there: social media is the getting ugly and supposed Catholic Theological Experts are causing a lot the problem, so maybe the hierarchy should do something. But then I'm sitting here asking, "Who will enforce it? The USCCB? Seriously?"
Then we talk about how, outside of sporting events, there is no real public life, thus Virtual Reality is going to kill us all.

Super Bowl XXXV - Wikipedia — The show ended with all of the performers singing Aerosmith's "Walk This Way".
2001 Super bowl Halftime Show: Britney, Aerosmith, NSYNC - YouTube — 2001 Super bowl Halftime Show: Britney, Aerosmith, NSYNC
Bishop Barron floats 'online mandatum' for Catholic teachers — “There are, to be blunt, a disconcerting number of such people on social media who are trading in hateful, divisive speech, often deeply at odds with the theology of the Church and who are, sadly, having a powerful impact on the people of God,” he said to the Register in a feature on social media that was published Jan. 24.
Communio et Progressio (May 23, 1971) — 9. The media of social communication can contribute a great deal to human unity. If, however, men's minds and hearts are ill disposed, if good will is not there, this outpouring of technology may produce an opposite effect so that there is less understanding and more discord and, as a result, evils are multiplied. Too often, we have to watch social communications used to contradict or corrupt the fundamental values of human life. The Christian considers these evils evidence of man's need to be redeemed and freed from that sin which entered human history with man's first fall.14
Inter mirifica — The first question has to do with "information," as it is called, or the search for and reporting of the news. Now clearly this has become most useful and very often necessary for the progress of contemporary society and for achieving closer links among men. The prompt publication of affairs and events provides every individual with a fuller, continuing acquaintance with them, and thus all can contribute more effectively to the common good and more readily promote and advance the welfare of the entire civil society. Therefore, in society men have a right to information, in accord with the circumstances in each case, about matters concerning individuals or the community. The proper exercise of this right demands, however, that the news itself that is communicated should always be true and complete, within the bounds of justice and charity. In addition, the manner in which the news is communicated should be proper and decent. This means that in both the search for news and in reporting it, there must be full respect for the laws of morality and for the legitimate rights and dignity of the individual. For not all knowledge is helpful, but "it is charity that edifies."(1)

Luke dares to ask the question: "During pregnancy, why don't people ask how much the dad is suffering, HUH?!" Gomer dares to enter the Big Apple for Sexy Paycation 2020. Then we discuss what our 2019 Themes were and our 2020 Themes, ending with a Top Five for 2019!
Luke is drinking a Ten Fidy, Barrel-aged, very good | Gomer is drinking Vista Bay
FOLLOW UP
The Mandalorian ended strongly and on a good note. Erin is not about Disney+ and Luke canceled it without finishing the show. Pregnancy is powerful, which leads us to…
Women, you have it hard, but don’t we dads have it hard, too? Erin is exhausted and now Luke has to do all of the cleaning, podcasting, cooking, and Disney+ watching. “I am so tired. How am I so tired?”
New York was a sexy, sexy trip!
Babymoon in San Antonio! Spending money on the last trip before the first baby.
THEMES 2020
_Themes are not New Years’ Resolutions. _
Resolutions are stupid because you inevitably over promise but under deliver. Themes are guiding stars or background processes that color all that you do and just hang out, reminding you of something that you need guidance on, not something that you should feel guilty about.
Gomer: Habits
Gomer wants habits that are good, strong, and healthy, so his is by defining failure as whatever new habit he’s committed to, he has to do it every day or every other day, but never miss two days in a row. It builds habits while leaving room for travel, illness, life, etc.
Luke: Commitment
Commitment to his job means not letting things slip.

These are the top ten horrendous facts about Watto!
The Five Most Racist Star Wars Characters - Weird Worm — That’s right, Watto is Jewish. And apparently, he’s also embraced Hasidism by the time of Attack of the Clones. Perhaps that’s why Jedi mind tricks, associated with Christianity in The Phantom Menace via Anakin’s virgin birth story, don’t work on him? He obviously doesn’t accept the Midichlorians as his personal lord and savior.

Nick Nolte's 'Mandalorian' character isn't a jerk -- he's brilliant. | Inverse — The Mandalorian tracks his first major bounty in Episode 1 to the desert planet of Arvala-7, and that’s where he encounters Kuiil shortly after landing. Kuiil interferes when the Mandalorian is attacked by some wild blurrgs and immediately offers to take Mando to the encampment where he can find his target. All he requests in return is one of the blurrg they fought together. When Kuiil claims that Mando will have to learn how to ride a blurrg to reach the location and the Mandalorian tries to argue, Kuiil counters with, “I have spoken.”
