Funny Joke…

By Marc • Apr 28th, 2005 • Category: the Weirdo

Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and it’s all organized by the Swiss.

School zones - Another traffic rant…

By Marc • Apr 26th, 2005 • Category: the Ranter

I tell you, I just don’t understand people sometimes. I pass by a fairly large, well-known private high school on my way to work. Of course I have to slow down for the school zone. There are flashing lights with the posted school zone speed limit of 15mph. These lights are [...]



Friday Night TV - Enterprise and Third Watch

By Marc • Apr 23rd, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture

Wow! Last night’s episode of Enterprise was really really cool! Just on the merits of this single episode, the series deserves renewal. But I know that won’t happen. I was especially impressed by the fact that it was a “crossover” episode. The episode was entirely focused on the mirror universe, [...]



They found the answer to that ever annoying question!!!!!!!!

Wow…I’ll sleep better tonight. That’s for sure.
I wonder how much of my our tax money was used for this study.



Athiests say “Pope Ratzinger” is bad for freedom

By Marc • Apr 20th, 2005 • Category: the Church, the Ranter

Get the story here.
First of all, it’s a shame they weren’t even paying enough attention to get his name right. It’s B-E-N-E-D-I-C-T….as in the 16th….. That means there’s been 16 popes named B-E-N-E-D-I-C-T. Just a little clue for the Atheists in Arizona, whose “director” is listed on the press release. [...]



Where were you???

By Marc • Apr 20th, 2005 • Category: The Pope is Dope

When Pope Benedict XVI was elected?
I was in my car. It was one of those Tuesdays that I had to go into the office at 3am, so I was on my way home. If you promise not to tell, I will also say I left about 30 minutes early. My [...]

SNAP forgets the role of the Holy Spirit…

By Marc • Apr 16th, 2005 • Category: the Church, the Ranter

The story is here.
I’m sure they have the best interests of the Holy Spirit at heart in trying to undermine His role in the papal elections. After all, the He is very overworked and under credited anyway.
In what they’ve done here and in planning to disrupt the mourning proceedings for JPII, they [...]



OK….Now I am smiling again!

Suzette made it back from the Philippines just fine. I’m so glad she’s back now. My life was a mess without her…….



I miss…..

By Marc • Apr 13th, 2005 • Category: Marc, the Family

While I keep thinking about how much I miss my wife (she’s been gone for almost a month now and will be back Thursday), I am also reminded of the folks in Memphis that I love and miss. Here’s an incomplete list in no specific order:

Aunt Net
Cousin Viki
Fr. Timby (I pray you are doing [...]

Michelle Malkin on Filipino terrorism

By Marc • Apr 12th, 2005 • Category: the Ranter

Michelle Malkin has made her thoughts known on the “profiling” of Filipinos. I like her use of the term “threat profiling” as opposed to the term “racial profiling”. She feels basically that since the Philippines is slowly becoming the new Afghanistan, with terror training camps and the “what me worry” attitude of the [...]



Phatmass…down?

By Marc • Apr 6th, 2005 • Category: On The Web, the Church

I can’t seem to get to Phatmass today. The Name lookup for it fails. I hope it’ll be back soon, as I just started hitting the place again week after a little break…
UPDATE: It’s back up. Some sort of “unplanned network outage”. I love those. They happen here too.



I already miss my “papa”

By Marc • Apr 2nd, 2005 • Category: The Pope is Dope, the Church

I can remember when he was elected. It would only be a year later that my mom would start me at Saint John School back in Memphis and three years later that I would be baptized and welcomed into The Church. I remember his election so well because I was so fascinated by [...]



What happened to privacy???

Did you know that you could download an image of anyone’s driver’s license on the web? Go here to look up yours…. I would highly suggest you opt to have yours not to be shown…..
