Either a CA employee is a parishioner at Saint Ann’s in Bartlett, or the kids at the school do much more than their fair share of good works. It seems a month can’t go by without a mention in the CA’s neighborhood appeal about these good kids. This month, they raised almost $3000 [...]
No, it’s not a typo. I meant to spell it that way. You take a Beatles song and Beastie Boys song and mash them together. What you end up with is a Beastles song. Go take a look here.
According to this story, the lower level Taliban fighters still putting up resistance in Afghanistan want to call it quits. This is good news, but I have to ask them what took you so long????
The best part about this story is that the grunts are tired of being the fodder for the [...]
If Pope Pius XII was “Hitler’s Pope”, then why did Hitler order his kidnapping???? The obvious answer is that he wasn’t “Hitler’s Pope”. This poor man is one of the most maligned people of the 20th century. It’s good to see the other side of the story on a major news outlet. [...]
First off, read this story over at Yahoo News.
He’s probably right when he says the following:
The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount of money as an exotic dancer, if that’s your desire.
But, not only was this an inappropriate thing to bring up in front of a bunch of 8th graders, [...]
Engadget has a blog on the new fuel cell car from Honda. This one goes a step further than the hybrid car, which still relies on gasoline. I wish I could afford one of these, just so I could thumb my nose at the oil industry. In case you missed it, the [...]
Well, I’m sure everyone has heard about the costume Prince Harry wore to a party. I guess he thought it would be cool to dress up in a Nazi uniform. Now, i know he wasn’t alive when the holocaust happened, but neither was I and I’ve got better sense than that. While [...]
Zenit.org has published an article that seems to shed a different light on the Vatican’s policy on the disposition of Jewish children taken in by the Church during the holocaust. A previous news story out of Italy claimed that the Pope instructed that Jewish children who had been baptized were not to [...]
I just read a great bit of fiction over at Pontifications. It’s suggested reading as far as I’m concerned….. Click here to read.
JPII is asking Eastern Catholics to reach out to the Eastern Orthodox to promote ecumenism between the Churches. I say go for it! We’ve got a lot of history to over come to be united in faith again and every little bit helps. Our Lord prayed to his father that we would [...]
I never cease to be amazed at the greedy and selfish nature of mankind. We have seen one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history in the tsunami in the Indian basin. The death toll has passed 160,000 people. That’s enough to fill the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium over three times. [...]
Saint Cajetan is a pretty amazing fellow. I found his bio on Catholic Online during a random search. He lived about the same time as Martin Luther and saw the same sort of problems in the Church that Luther saw. But instead of rebelling like Luther did, Cajetan did the [...]
This was an auction on EBay for a “thumb drive” (pictured on the right). Some one has a real quirky sense of humor, too much spare time and some prosthetic skills.
Even though the guy says this 128mb thumb drive is unique, he also says to watch for more of the same in [...]
This is a pretty cool page Google put up. It mentions some of the great moments in the history of Usenet, including the first mention of Star Wars and the first mention of the 9/11 attacks. Take a look ya geek!
Microsoft apparently found out their employees were stealing from them by abusing an employee purchase program. They explained very well why they called the cops, but they have yet to explain why their buggy insecure software is so expensive.
That Canadian Girl has a pretty cool before and after picture of the Mona Lisa. Take a look at it here.
WOW…..This thing is sexy. I like the split thumb board keyboard.
I just read this article over at San Diego News Notes. I’m always speechless when I hear stories about the horrors that go on in these places. This one is especially gripping because the woman talks constantly about how she wants to get away.
Yep, yesterday was Elvis’s birthday.. Fortunately I was working all day in Blytheville Arkansas and didn’t even have the opportunity to drag Suzette down to Graceland.
The US DOT has a webpage up that give a little history on the US Interstate system, also know as the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. It even explains the numbering scheme, which I have heard so many (some outlandish) theories on….
