Hair today, gone tomorrow

Sixteen Amish in rural Ohio have been charged with federal hate crimes. That's unusual for Amish, who generally are under the radar because of their peaceful ways. Their crime? Cutting hair. "In the Amish faith a man's beard and a women's hair are sacred religious symbols," Bridget M. Brennan, an assistant U.S. attorney, said in...

Monday Joke

Here's a joke to cool you off on these last few days of summer vacation. A man gets up early in the morning to go ice fishing. He goes out onto the ice with his tent, his pick and his fishing rod, and starts to pick at the ice. Then he hears a big booming voice: "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE." The guy looks around and then starts to pick at...

Rape!

The main stream media, having picked up on Todd Akin's idiotic comments on abortion in cases of rape, are publishing stories in order to justify its stance on abortion. However, note that the stance taken is not just to support abortion in the case of rape, but abortion on demand for any reason. For all the hoopla, this has actually opened a useful...

Results, not reason

The Canadian news outlet Globe and Mail has an article Doctors call on Ottawa to reject ‘backdoor’ attempt to recriminalize abortion. The article states: At the general council meeting of the Canadian Medical Association on Wednesday, delegates called on the federal government to reject attempts by a Conservative backbench MP to amend the Criminal...

Singer and the reign

LifeSiteNews had a recent article about Peter Singer's claims that being a member of the human species isn't sufficient for deserving human rights - specifically the right to life. OK, but what is the basis for making that claim? To be honest I haven't read much of what Singer has written, mostly because I find it to be so much adolescent trash....

Monday Joke

A husband and wife are killed in an accident and find themselves in heaven. It’s an immaculate golf course with a beautiful clubhouse and handsomely landscaped greens, and they have it to themselves. They gape at it for a while, and then he asks her if she’d like to play a round. As they’re teeing up for the first hole, she says, “What’s wrong?” He...

Wednesday Joke

This should have been Monday's joke, but I didn't remember it until Tuesday night, so here it is a few days late, but still in time for today's feast. Mary says to Joseph "When I go to heaven I'm going to have my body there." Joseph, smiling, tells her "Mary, you know only your soul goes to heaven. You can't have your body with you." Mary replies...

Monday Joke

[shamelessly borrowed from a recent episode of "Catholic answers Live"] A man goes to the psychiatrist and says "Doctor, you've got to help me! All day and all night I hear Tom Jones songs in my head. It's driving me crazy. I can't eat, I can't sleep, because the songs won't stop. First it was 'Delilah', then 'What's New Pussycat', then 'She's a...

Monday Joke

An elderly couple was sitting watching TV. The woman got up and said to her husband "I'm getting some ice cream, do you want some?" "No!" came the reply. "You always get mixed up and bring me the wrong thing." "That's not true. Why don't you let me try?" "No, it's no use. You never bring the right thing. Last week I asked for chocolate and you...

Chick-philia

I responded to a post on Google+ today about the article 5 Reasons why the Church failed yesterday. I decided to turn it into a blog post. Enjoy. I think the whole thing is a misunderstanding. Chick-fil-A appreciation day was not a “Church” event, it was a “State” event, protesting the government stepping on the Constitutional rights of American...
