De-Crapinator™ Activated

Letter from Mongo

Due to the convergence of cosmic forces beyond my comprehension, this activation of the De-Crapinator™ failed to impinge upon my conscious mind and I did fail to provide the results of de-crapination. In October the Glob’s patented De-Crapinator™ was activated by the following:

What is your fake name?:

Please type in what you would like De-Crapinated. If it will help, please include a link to the article.:
Considering this frightful election year, is the glass really explicitly half full, or half empty?

Dear Mongo,

The Global Exclaimer’s patented De-Crapinator™ took 0.05 milliseconds to return the result:

A half-full glass is also a half-empty glass. True to Catholic thought, the answer to your question is "both/and." Which, in this case, is about as clear as mud.

You're really asking, "Should I be optimistic or pessimistic?" The De-Crapinator advises: Choose optimism.

Optimism keeps more doors open, fuels hope, and shields you from despair. It doesn’t mean ignoring reality—it means staying vigilant, listening for truth, and responding appropriately to what unfolds.

As to what the bishop says, well, he used the half-empty half-full literary device to address something else.

The antidote to despair is not a vague sense of optimism but hope in the God who loves us - Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori

As evidenced in the above, the Bishop seems to sense some despair amongst his flock. His answer - choose hope in God. Essentially trust Providence.
