By Marc • Jun 28th, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., the Weirdo

Get the full story here.
WOW….This sounds like a major undertaking. It still sounds dangerous too, but it also sounds like they’ve covered everything….almost….
The comet and Impactor will collide at about 23,000 mph.
GOSH! That’s awfully fast!
Wouldn’t hitting something like that cause debris that could fall to Earth?
“We’re sending a bug onto the windshield [...]

Doctor Who set for a thrid season

By Marc • Jun 26th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, the Geek

The new Doctro Who series is a great show. I had a few reservations about it at first, but it really has grown on me. I look forward to the new season starting in January, but I will miss Christopher Eccleseton who I think did a wonderful job as the Doctor. I [...]



Michelle Malkin threatens to hide the truth…

By Marc • Jun 26th, 2005 • Category: the Weirdo

….about her cooking skills…..
Wouldn’t that just be a typical MSM headline?
Will post a photo if it doesn’t turn out to be a total disaster.
But really Ms. Malkin, don’t you know we would want to to see the cake even if it turns out to be a disaster? Sometimes those are [...]

Official Prayer for John Paul II

By Marc • Jun 24th, 2005 • Category: The Pope is Dope, the Church

There’s an offical prayer published by the diocese of Rome to ask for intercession from Pope John Paul the Great. Hopefully God will shower us with miracles that will confirm his sainthood.
Here’s the prayer:
O Blessed Trinity,
We thank you for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II
and for allowing the tenderness of your [...]



Hitler Rd. Residents Get Strange Looks

By Marc • Jun 23rd, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., the Weirdo

OK…So years before some bigoted shell-shocked Germany Army private took over almost all of Europe, there was this wealthy Hitler family in Ohio. There are roads with the name and even still some folks that have Hitler as their surname. What’s in a name really anyway. Right? I can understand. [...]



RIP Cardinal Sin

By Marc • Jun 22nd, 2005 • Category: The Philippines, the Church

The Philippines has lost a great religious leader. The Church militant have lost a good and faithful shepard. He worked for justice in times when there was none in the Philippines. May he continue to be a intercessor for his Kababayan.
Read the story here.
Eternal rest grant unto them oh Lord. And may [...]



Because that’s the kind of world we live in….

By Marc • Jun 22nd, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., the Ranter

“When an ATV or horse came by, he got off the trail. When they left, he got back on the trail,” Jody Hawkins said. “His biggest fear, he told me, was that someone would steal him.“
It is unclear if that delayed his rescue.
Yes that’s right ladies and gentlemen, we live in such a world that [...]



Bishops to Extend Ban on Abusive Priest

By Marc • Jun 18th, 2005 • Category: the Church

America’s Roman Catholic bishops have voted overwhelmingly to continue permanently barring abusive priests from church work, despite deep misgivings about the policy written at the height of the clergy sex abuse scandal.
Good! This shows some common sense. The following however does not…
Some prelates believe the plan violates Catholic teaching on redemption — that [...]



Strong words from a Spanish Priest

By Marc • Jun 17th, 2005 • Category: ProLife, the Church

Hola Padre Salinas! I hope you are reading this. I am sorry I could not approve your comment to my blog, as it was a little off topic. However, I feel it’s import for people to know what you have to say about the current political state of the government of Spain. [...]

Can we see the need now for tighter boarder security?



Disc Jockey Sues Kid Rock

By Marc • Jun 16th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, the Ranter

You’re kidding, right? Let me see if I can explain a little reality here. If you work in an unsavory place and hang out with unsavory people, you may well “get the horns”. I think this guy is just looking for a payoff, nothing else. Keep in mind all these events [...]

Base closings

By Marc • Jun 15th, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., the Ranter

Here’s a story about the locals near Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska trying to keep the base open. I hate to say this, but these bases have a purpose which is not to provide the community around the base with an economy. The purpose is provide services in the area of national [...]



Hatemonger Fred Phelps makes Christians look bad again

By Marc • Jun 14th, 2005 • Category: the Ranter

This guy seems to always try to out do himself. He’s the one who protested Mathew Shepard’s funeral. Just looking at him gives me the creeps.
Well, now he’s saying he’s going to protest the funeral of one of our fallen brave soldiers, just because she was killed in action in Iraq. [...]

The Editing Room - Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith: The Abridged Script

By Marc • Jun 13th, 2005 • Category: Pop Culture, the Ranter, the Weirdo

Well, everyone who reads at this place knows I hated the new Star Wars movie. I thought I was mostly alone. I thought wrong. Besides all the comments I got agreeing with me, someone has re-written the script to show the problems with the film. I have to give the warning [...]

Below is a link to a pretty funny parody of Jack Chick’s stuff told from a Catholic perspective. Take a look!
