I hear you about the Calvinistic stuff, it wasn't until college that I found out a lot of stuff that I thought was Catholic was really Calvinistic teachings. I had a brilliant teacher who explained all this stuff. One of the best classes I ever took.
He asked us questions about certain attitudes and then asked. "Is this a Catholic attitude?" and when we said yes he showed where the attitude came from and what the Catholic teaching were. Very enlightening.

They had olympic boxing last night on CNBC and the one announcer said there should be a warning to boxers, 'Attention Olympic boxing can be hazardous to your health and career.' He said this after a referee called a time out but wasn't assertive or loud enough and one boxer stopped and the other kept fighting and knocked the first out. The scoring is also ridiculous, there have been fights where scores were real low despite 3 rounds of outright brawling and other fights where the score is run way up and all the boxer is doing is hitting the others gloves

The Democratic convention is an assemblage of Democrats - delegates, senior party members, hangers on - you know, the Democratic party. No one is suggesting in the limited time available that everyone is given a chance to speak - but I cannot think of another convention where members of the party were excluded. If Leiberman wants to attend, I can think of no reason why he shouldn't. Same with Ferraro or Gore or Rangel - or Clark.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled out of an environmental conference Saturday to have his knee examined after injuring himself while exercising.
The governor had been scheduled to co-host a climate change summit in South Lake Tahoe, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein told the crowd Saturday morning that Schwarzenegger had called her to say he couldn't make it.
He injured his knee while working out and it has been bothering him all week, Schwarzenegger spokesman Matt David said. A doctor was expected to examine Schwarzenegger's knee for a possibly torn meniscus at the governor's home in Los Angeles.
The 61-year-old bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned politician has suffered numerous physical injuries over the years, most recently when he shattered his femur during a skiing accident in 2006.
The seven-time Mr. Olympia also has had a hip and a heart valve replaced, and had rotator cuff surgery in 2003. He also suffered several broken ribs in a 2001 motorcycle crash and had to have 15 stitches after another such crash in 2006.
Saturday's event was attended by officials from California, Nevada and the federal government.

Obama can forgive Evan Bayh for backing Clinton, but not Wes Clark? Having Evan Bayh speak on national security, but not Clark is just stupid, incomprehensible to me.

The Icelandic Phallological Museum (Icelandic: Hið Íslenzka Reðasafn) in Húsavík, Iceland (formerly in Reykjavík) is a museum devoted to phallology. As of July 2006, the museum houses 245 specimens displayed like hunting trophies, embalmed in formaldehyde, or dried in display cases. The museum attempts to collect penis specimens from every mammal in Iceland, including several species that are endangered or currently extinct in Icelandic waters.
As have the ones in the Chicago Machine.

Sigurður Hjartarson, a former teacher of history at an institute in Reykjavík, is the founder (since 1974, when he was 63 years old) and current director of the museum, which also exhibits a few specimens from mammals not living in Iceland, as well as folkloric specimens (alleged elves, trolls, sea monsters, etc.) and penis-themed art.
Although the museum does not yet have a Homo sapiens specimen, in the interest of advancing phallological knowledge, a patron (Páll Arason, born in 1915 and currently 93 years old) has donated, presumably posthumously, an affidavit for his penis.
Pastor Mildred sounds unnervingly like Thelma Richardson (my own personal all-time favorite troll, by the way).

WOMEN in Victoria would have the legal right to choose an abortion under historic legislation expected to be introduced to State Parliament next week.
The Age believes the bill, which will prompt long and emotional debate, would decriminalise abortion during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, providing the woman gives consent.
Government insiders say cabinet had rejected a more liberal proposal, dubbed "open slather" by critics, under which late-term abortions also would have been decriminalised.
The bill, which will be the subject of a conscience vote, is certain to split both major parties, but pro-choice advocates are confident it will be passed.

The "Not Noel Coward Song" from "Monty Python's Meaning of Life"
Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis.
Isn't it simply grand to have a dong.
It's swell to have a stiffy, it's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger to the world's biggest prick...
So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas,
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake.
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy or your cock,
You can wrap it up in ribbons, you can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public or they'll stick you in the dock,
And you won't a-come a-back.

naughty nun, only in France - She was a bright young thing of the Parisian années folles, the interwar "crazy years", who danced into the night with smartly dressed boys and lusted after the latest throwaway fashions. Proud, wilful and flirtatious, she once fell in love with a man for his seductive intellect and beautiful handwriting.
Paris is in thrall to a scintillating new volume of memoirs but they are not those of a bohemian writer or 1920s film star. After a life of devotion to charity and Catholicism, France's favourite nun is revealing her naughty side. "I'm no saint," declared Soeur Emmanuelle in a collection of interviews to be published next week ahead of her 100th birthday.
"I'm bad-tempered. I'm vindictive, angry; sometimes malicious. People say I'm hard, capricious and proud."
PEORIA, IL — An anti-tax organization opposing global warming alarmists stopped on the riverfront Friday evening to spread the word about "economy-destroying, job-killing policies."
Peoria was the last Midwestern stop on Americans for Prosperity's national "Hot Air Tour," aimed at exposing the unaffordable costs of proposed climate change policies. The tour launched in April from Washington, D.C., and is making its way across the country.
"Peoria is where mainstream America is," said Annie Patnaude, communications director for AFP. "It made a lot of sense to stop here. There are (AFP) members here, grass roots here, and folks who will get involved in the issue."
About 30 people, half of whom were young children, showed up for the event, which included free tethered balloon rides, T-shirts, key chains and pork sandwiches.

The number of homeowners in England and Wales facing repossession has risen to levels unseen since the last recession in the early 1990s.
Ministry of justice figures released yesterday showed the number of court orders for mortgage repossessions in England and Wales rose to 28,568 in the three months to the end of June. That is 24% more than in the same period a year ago and the highest since the third quarter of 1992, when 30,587 orders were made.
Adam Sampson, chief executive of the housing and homelessness charity Shelter, accused mortgage lenders of "still using repossession as the first, rather than last resort, despite being urged not to".
He said the figures could be the "thin end of the wedge" as Shelter data showed the proportion of people approaching the charity for help with mortgage possession actions over the past six months had increased by 55%.
"Every day Shelter is seeing more and more people who are terrified of losing their homes. They're being punished by rising household bills, escalating fuel charges and food prices that are going through the roof," said Sampson. He said people finding it hard to meet mortgage payments should seek advice early.
So tonight's the night we discuss Things That Don't Exist.

Fears that the UK economy is heading into recession sent sterling tumbling against the dollar for the eleventh day in a row yesterday - its longest losing streak since the break-up of the Bretton Woods fixed exchange system in 1971.
The pound fell to its lowest level against the US currency in almost two years on expectations that the Bank of England will be forced to cut the cost of borrowing to boost growth. A pick-up in US industrial production also helped a resurgent dollar and pushed down the price of oil and gold on global commodity markets.
The pound closed at $1.85 on the foreign exchanges. It is down 6.5% since July, a move that will make it more expensive for British holidaymakers to visit the United States but will make UK exports cheaper to the world's biggest market.
Michael Saunders at Citigroup said: "Sterling remains vulnerable, especially against the US dollar. The pound averaged $1.55/£ over 1993-2002 and it would not be a surprise to see a return to those levels in the next 12-18 months."

Foreign investors have pledged projects worth more than $16 billion dollars to be implemented in the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq, according to a Kurdish official.
Kameran al-Mufti, head of the region’s project evaluation and license department, said more than $6 billion of the pledged investments has already turned into "real’ projects.
The department was established in 2006 in accordance with a new law the region’s government had issued to lure foreign investors.
The law gives investors several privileges among them a 10-year net of tax period and removal of tariffs on exports and imports related to the project.
Foreigners even have the possibility of owning property including the land on which they set up their projects.
Investors, including Iraqi nationals, have the right to transfer their profits to bank accounts abroad. Even workers in these projects have the right to transfer their wages in hard cash abroad.
Mufti said these privileges and the region’s relative security have been "very tempting" for foreigners.

Nothing has done more to corrupt humanity than the attempt to civilise warfare. Just War Theory is an utter perversion of the moral sense, a doctrine of literally mediaeval barbarism, invented by clerics to regulate wars between Christian kings. Its finest moral discrimination to date is that it's legitimate to kill a munitions worker on his way to work, but a crime to kill him on his way home. It tells us that to aim a bomb at an enemy soldier and kill a hundred civilians is - if the necessity is there - legitimate collateral damage, but to deliberately aim one bullet at one enemy civilian is murder. In its pedantic, casuistic jesuitry it still stinks of the cringing, quibbling fusspots who invented it, and retains too its usefulness to a useless and barbaric ruling class.

My parents grew up in suburban Peoria, but that was back in the 40's and 50's. I think that, were they alive, it they'd be appalled.

It does nothing whatsoever to restrain their behaviour. Its only function is to befuddle those who oppose, protest and fight them. It justifies every horrific, predictable consequence of imperialist assault as an unintended consequence, and condemns every horrific, predictable consequence of resistance to that assault as an intended consequence. Their violence against civilians is mass murder, ours is collateral damage.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad added in his interview with Turkish and other foreign reporters in Istanbul, "Four countries of Iran, Turkey, Syria and Iraq have always held continuous talks.
According to IRNA, President Ahmadinejad made the comment in response to Syrian reporter of 'Aksham' daily, Hussni Mahalli on meeting among to regional officials in recent weeks, who added, "Could you trust the Turkish Government in your regional relations and bilateral ties?"
The Iranian President replied, "Do you assume that when the regional officials get together they merely drink tea and speak about the whether in the region? They definitely exchange viewpoints on significant ongoing regional developments. We are four neighboring countries, with shared cultures and civilizations and very broad beliefs. We think there are enough issues to necessitate for ontinuous' holding of continuous four-sided talks."

Yes, he did, but that was because he could not bring himself to support the Labour party. If it had been a Conservative govt, I suspect Peter would not have had a problem with it.

I really can't stand those types who recant their left position, former communists who become reactionary windbags
For a lot of these ex-Stalinist, trots n' Tankies (members of the official UK Communist party who supported the Soviet Unions repression of the Hungarian uprising) they are looking for a Soviet Union substitute which they have sort of found in the US after WW2 and the growth of the the military industrial complex.
They have authoritarian personalities

A British pensioner and the Dutch guide he was hiking with have frozen to death in the Italian Alps after being caught in a violent snowstorm.
The bodies of the two men were found yesterday by a guide, partially covered by snow, at 4,000m on Monte Rosa in the Valle D'Aosta region where high wind had pushed temperatures down below minus 10C overnight.
The 70-year-old Briton, Reginald Clarke, from London, set out from the Quintino Sella mountain refuge on Friday morning, despite forecasts of bad weather, accompanied by a Dutchman in his forties, aiming to scale the peak of Naso del Lyskamm.
'They were probably heading back down to the Gnifetti refuge when they became lost on the glacier in the storm, which at that elevation would have been impossible to survive,' said Adriano Favre, head of rescue services in the Valle D'Aosta region.
ok i know its not cool to enjoy watching the Olympics but I've really enjoyed them and am delighted Team GB are doing pretty well.
and the 100m was like wow, that Usain Bolt was like just amazing, he shut down near the finishing line and stil managed to break a world record win and win Gold medal
