Ed Piskor
The hubbub from Pittsburgh regarding comic book figure Ed Piskor has resulted in several of Balladeer’s Blog’s readers asking me some questions. I can put everybody’s minds at ease.
Not only had I never even heard of this guy before the allegations and screenshots regarding his alleged grooming and sexual misconduct with underaged girls became news this week, but I can assure everyone that I have NEVER done a blog post about any of this guy’s material. Continue reading

Since this is Easter Week the Silent Film geek in me figured I’d post this 44-minute work about Jesus from the cradle to the crucifixion.
As a 1903 production it is certainly crude but the novelty value is high. Plus, viewers can listen to their favorite spiritual/ inspirational music while watching it.

OF ANTICHRIST AND HIS RUIN (1692) – Last week Balladeer’s Blog reviewed John Bunyan’s often neglected work The Holy War (1682). This time around I’ll take a look at Bunyan’s Of Antichrist and His Ruin, published posthumously in 1692.
Bunyan depicts the Antichrist as a religious leader who poses as a Christian at first, then gradually replaces “God’s Word” with his own and distorts religious teachings. The Antichrist cons his followers into believing that he is preaching the true religion and that other faiths are evil.
Ironically, even though the Puritan John Bunyan made it clear that he was referring to the Catholic Church and its Pope (especially claims of papal infallibility), he doesn’t seem to realize that this description could also be applied to Martin Luther, who launched the Protestant Reformation which Bunyan championed.
This book’s Antichrist is described as a three-part entity – the devil as the head, the huge numbers of Antichrist’s followers as the body, and the Antichrist itself as the animating spirit of that mob of followers. Continue reading

NAIA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – Fighting it out for the National Championship in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) were the COLLEGE OF IDAHO COYOTES and the INDIANA TECH WARRIORS (should be Hoplites).
The Coyotes fell into their usual pattern this season – they saw a comfortable Halftime lead of 45-26 get whittled down by an opponent’s rally. In the end, Indiana Tech fell just short against the College of Idaho, who held on for a 73-71 win. Jake O’Neil led the victors with a Double Double of 15 points and 12 rebounds. * THE COYOTES ARE NAIA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS *
NCCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The BETHEL (IN) PILOTS (riverboat pilots) faced the CLINTON COLLEGE GOLDEN BEARS for the National Championship of the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) Division One. Continue reading

HERE IS A REBLOG FROM SP WILCEN’S TERRIFIC AND ENTERTAINING BLOG.
Graphix: spwilcen
NSFW: Coarse/vulgar language, political incorrectness, and innuendo
Key:
Paraphrasing what I read recently
…and I thought
…and then, because I’m nothing if not a liberal dewd, I thought some more.
—
Why the US rejected Poland’s plan to send jet aircraft to Ukraine
…probably because the Usoffa is mostly governed by idiots
.…or woosies.1
Wuhan19 has worsened the reading crisis in [Usoffa] schools
…now explain why people who were adults before Wuhan19’s onset can’t read either
.…reading and teaching take too much time away from fantasy sports, video games, reality TV, and the most recent episode of “Three Large Ladies from Mississippi.” [Chortle!] Howya expect illiterate parents to home school their kids in matters Readin, Ritin, and Rithmatik?
One of the Kardashians did [again] something inane/cute/stupid/obnoxious
…and who gives a rat’s ass?
…shouldn’t certified loonies be locked away to protect…
