The Catholic Church considers itself the one, true Christian church on earth. That was reinforced with a document released calling Protestant denominations “ecclesial communities.” European Protestant leaders are upset and surprised. I’d be more surprised if the conservative Pope Benedict had watered down church doctrine to make the Catholic Church more inclusive.
Catholics and Protestants […]
The love affair with Apple products isn’t a religion but some people seem to think it is:
“It’s not like it’s a computer, it’s not like it’s a phone, it’s like a living sculpture in my hands,” said Dale Larson, a mobile business consultant in San Francisco.
This guy needs to get to an actual museum. Or […]
Kids aren’t getting outside as much anymore. This isn’t shocking news. Technology has given us comfortable, climate-controlled environments that avoid excess heat, cold, sun, and humidity while keeping the bugs away. While inside we can surf the internet, listen to music, watch movies, and play video games. Cheap transportation (even with today’s high gas prices) […]
Sen. Sam Brownback wrote an op-ed for the NY Times on his stance in the evolution-creation debate. It has a very Catholic feel which makes sense since Brownback is a convert.
The heart of the issue is that we cannot drive a wedge between faith and reason. I believe wholeheartedly that there cannot be any contradiction […]
Jerry Fallwell has died:
Falwell was hospitalized in “gravely serious” condition after being found unconscious Tuesday in his office at Liberty University, a school executive said earlier.
Ron Godwin, the university’s executive vice president, said Falwell, 73, was found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. Godwin said he was not sure what caused […]
Here are two examples of people who have their moral compasses screwed up.
First, via Right Wing News, The Smirking Chimp’s Margaret Kimberley equates Sen. John McCain’s “Bomb Iran” ditty with Cho Seung-Hi’s shooting rampage then tops it off with a dollop of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Next, we learn Oklahoma University put up a small memorial to […]
Wondering why so few able-bodied men didn’t fight back against Cho Seung-Hui isn’t “blaming the victim” nor is talking about it “insane” [via memeorandum]. It’s examining if there’s something wrong with our culture. I’m sure the male and female surviors ask themselves if they should have done something. Along with remorse regret plagues their thoughts. […]
Joining the list of food activism that includes free-range chickens, organic food, the banning of foie gras, and the slow food movement comes crate-free sows. Most mommy pigs are stuck in 2-feet by 7-feet gestation crates. Agribusiness giant Cargill has joined Smithfield Foods in ending the practice.
The alternative is putting pregnant pigs into group pens. […]
Upon winning millions in a lottery you’d probably think you’d be set for life. No bills to worry about, nice cars to drive (or have driven for you), a comfortable house, endless vacations. However, that’s not the case for many megabucks winners:
Kenneth and Connie Parker were winners of a $25 million jackpot. Their 16-year […]
At one Tennessee high school students got at bit too “creative” during study hall:
A group of Tennessee high school students are in hot water for trying to make a steamy porn movie between classes.
Four female and two male students were punished after a drama teacher caught them filming the flick in a Union County High […]

Monica Lewinsky’s graduate degree is the subject of a Washington Post essay. Libby Copeland (catching up to TAM) writes about it and calls her a “dumb-but-smart” person. She’s shocked Lewinsky earned a masters from the London School of Economics declaring, “She did not!!” I’m sure she’s not the only person. That’s because the public’s introduction […]
Target yanked a Che Guevera CD case out of its stores [via Babalu Blog]:
Target had touted a music disc carrying case for Che admirers emblazoned with the Argentine-born guerrilla’s iconic 1960 portrait by Alberto Diaz, or “Korda.” A set of small earphones was superimposed on the image, suggesting he was tuned in to an […]
WorldNetDaily links to a bunch of teachers having sex with their students. Can you say linkbaiting? Not that I don’t engage in it occasionally.

What does the future portend for Monica Lewinsky? Her purse business is “hibernating,” and she just earned her masters in social psychology. If Judith Regan were still in the book biz I’d think we’d soon hear about a book. Whatever she does I’m glad she hasn’t let her past mistakes stop her from self-improvement.
“Lewinsky Graduates […]
