And You Think I'm Nuts

Bad news. Patum Peperium slipped in the Google ratings for John Roberts + Opus Dei late this afternoon. At one point we were as high as 4 and 5 but somehow we fell to Number 6. This guy is 5. I can see why he's getting so many hits. He's nuts. According to him, there's a vast right-wing Opus Dei conspiracy.

Did you know Judge Bork was Opus Dei? I guess The New Criterion must be Opus Dei too. Or at least one of their windows is. Can a member of Opus Dei drink Campari?

That should help you in the rankings.

Lord Cooper as in Lord Shaftsbury?

I do make Lady Shaftsbury's plum cake. It is a yeasted plum cake and quite delicious. The blood has been off in that family for about the last 400 years. Wasn't Daisy Warwick married to one of them?

Misspent, a funny thing, well, maybe not to you. I was asked last September to consider joining Opus Dei. I didn't, not because you have to kiss the naked bottoms of turkeys, but because the few people I know who are in Opus Dei are really good people. Very devout and somewhat indifferent to everyday things. They've put their lives where their mouths are. I admire that. I'm still too caught up with worldly things like blogs...

As of 10:18 pm, Patum Peperium is number 4. Thanks Misspent. (We were getting at least one referral an hour during the day, now we're getting more.

"Lord Cooper" as in the character in "Scoop," for whose tender ears "Up to a point, Lord Cooper" was as close to the word "no" as a minion such as William Boot was allowed to step. Modeled on Harold Sidney Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Rothermere (1868 - 1940). I see that the March 11, 1935 Time magazine referred to the Viscount as "pudding-headed Rothermere." Lady Rothermere surpervised a Christmas pudding on December 25, 1922 at Le Prieure, but I have no avaialble recipie at this time. And I find no association of the family with plum cake.

I thought it was Lord Copper not Cooper?

[Steve M.]

Definitely, Lord Cusack.
