Update 12/08: Shazbot! That settles it. I just got an e-mail from St. Cyril’s Church. Here’s what it said: Yes, that is a true photograph of our marquee, taken about 5 years ago. That message was posted once for just a couple of days, and has not been on the marquee since.At the time of the posting, the Marquee Committee, of which our pastor, Fr. Mario Arroyo is a member, [...]
The Anchoress reminds us all of that half-time a few years ago when the greatest band in the world (who happen to come from Ireland) captured the American zeitgeist perfectly. I know people love to hate him, but Bono is the only guy in the world and U2 the only band who can walk into the center of American gladiatorial and commercial combat and turn the whole thing into a [...]
Well it seems Barack has mastered the Clintonian art of being all things to all people. If you go to the “Rural Issues” section of Obama’s website, he has this quote from a recent speech at the top of the page: “We are at that critical and urgent moment. If Washington continues policies that work against America’s family farmers, our rural communities will fall further behind — and so will [...]John on December 22, 2009 at 8:36 am
These people really love nature. In fact, they worship nature. They even make confession of sins to nature:

December 22, 2009 @ 10:45 amI remember once seeing a picture of “Spotted Owl” Gore genuflecting before a tree squirrel. He then tried convincing the squirrel that he invented the Internet. After a brief moment, some men in white medical garb escorted Mr. Gore back into a padded minivan. It looked like the straitjacket was comfortable. All in all, I think Al was having a good day.
December 22, 2009 @ 11:22 amThe hemp thing is interesting. A local farmer tried it as a test crop in a couple of small fields – apparently it has absolutely no narcotic properties, but vast, untapped potential at a much lower environmental and economic cost than cotton. But there’s no market for it. People assume it will be a bit hippyish, unfashionable and kinda funny looking, all of which are wrong, but added to the ‘put it in your bong and smoke it’ thing, it just can’t get started. Hemp is very last noughties, though, the latest thing is bamboo clothing.
