Vote Early. Vote Often. 2008-09-23 23:05:00 The Presidential election is still more than a month away, but early voting has begun in some states. Georgia, where I live, started the process Monday.I prefer voting early over the hectic and crowded circus-like atmosphere of Election Day.In the county where I live, we normally have two locations where we can go for advanced voting. According to the Floyd County Website;Advanced Voting for Ele Read more:Early

The La Salette crucifix. 2008-09-22 08:28:00 As I mentioned in a post from Friday [The apparition of Our Lady of La Salette] I've only just learned of that particular apparition of the Virgin Mary. I receive daily email from A Moment with Mary and this is where I first learned of the two children who claimed to have seen the Blessed Mother in 1846.After a number of investigations, the Catholic Church found the claims to be credible.Of cour
Woody Allen supports Obama. 2008-09-20 09:17:00 US filmmaker WoodyAllen
, best known for divorcing wife Mia Farrow so he could marry her adopted daughter and consequently, knows a thing or two about disgrace and humiliation says,"It would be a disgrace and a humiliation if Barack Obama
does not win.""It would be a very, very terrible thing for the United States in many, many ways," he said.Is there really any need to comment on this? Just an Read more:Woody Allen
The Political Bias of the Rome News Tribune. 2008-09-19 08:00:00 On the morning of Sept 18, I sent, via email, a letter to the editor of my local newspaper.....the Rome/News Tribune
. First, I will paste a copy of the letter below (in red) and will give an account of the editor's reaction.While Barack Obama was a Illinois State Senator, a bill called theInduced Infant Liability Act was introduced to the Illinoislegislature. Like a similar bill introduced in the
The apparition of Our Lady of La Salette. 2008-09-19 08:00:00 This particular apparition is new to me. Rather than try to cipher through it all right now, I'll paste the article from the Catholic Encyclopedia.La Salette:Located in the commune and parish of La Salette-Fallavaux, Canton of Corps, Department of Isere, and Diocese of Grenoble. It is celebrated as the place where, it is said, the Blessed Virgin appeared to two little shepherds; and each year is
Evolutionary theory ‘not incompatible’ with Catholicism. 2008-09-17 23:01:00 In a statement that's sure to aggravate the Intelligent Design crowd, Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi , head of the Pontifical Council for Culture said, (from asianews.it)There is no "a priori incompatibility" between the theory of evolution, biblical teaching, and theology, but there is a need to "clarify", 150 years after its publication, the work of Charles Darwin, which today "is too often Read more:Catholicism

Obama Bio Video. 2008-09-17 06:53:00 I came across this Daily Show video on the Journeyman carpenter blog. I thought it was so funny, I had to snatch it and post it here. Read more:Obama
Equal time. 2008-09-16 09:54:00 There are some, I'm sure, who may feel that I am being biased by putting in links and images for Catholic groups who are against Obama and Biden.With that in mind....in an effort to be fair and balanced, I'm putting a link to a pro Obama Catholic group. I urge everyone to click on the link:Catholics 4 Obama Read more:Equal

: "...answering that question with specificity... uh... you know is, is... uh... above my pay grade."~ Saddleback Forum, August 16, 2008From born alive truth.org:Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world?

Abortion versus Personhood. 2008-09-15 09:10:00 There are many people today who believe - or, more rather, hope - that the issue of abortion will just go away. There are some who see the issue as settled and are quite uncomfortable with the idea that abortion continues to be a factor in American politics.The issue will never be settled as long as the two antagonists in the debate continue to use different language.To one group, the issue is a q Read more:versus
CatholicVote.com video. 2008-09-14 16:53:00 Leaving Mass this morning, I encountered a fellow Catholic wearing an Obama button.When I pointed out to her Obama's pro abortion / pro infanticide vote she was unfazed.Words cannot express my outrage. Rather than try and put it into words, I will simply post this video
from CatholicVote.com
Labels and Tags. 2008-09-13 14:40:00 It's said that one of the ways to stay young is to keep the mind active.....keep learning.....don't let your mind idle.I've learned quite a lot in the past few years. I've been writing more, learning html, building websites and blogging like crazy.When I first started this blog, nearly two years ago,I didn't appreciate the value of placing tags or labels onto my post. As time went on, I saw that I Read more:Labels
We apoligize for any incomvinience. 2008-09-12 07:21:00 Here a copy of an email I received from "Yahoo" telling me that my account was in danger of being de-activated for security purposes. I was instructed to send my name and password in a reply email in order to maintain my account.Funny, none of my other Yahoo email accounts seem to be in the same danger.I was told that I had only 24 hours to reply or risk suspension, but I didn't log in until 4 day
Too bad, it's not real. 2008-09-12 05:50:00 I came across this photo on The Daily Telegraph showing Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, wearing a patriotic bikini and toting a rifle.Sadly, as the article points out, the image is the product of someone's vivid imagination..... and Photoshop. The head is, obviously, hers, but the body is not. Just a little nip-tuck and voila !Actually, the photo looks pretty realistic; much better than
New Blog Template. 2008-09-12 04:55:00 For me, when it comes to blog themes, plain and simple is the best. There are a wide variety of "expressive" themes and motifs but, for the most part, I find them all too distracting. I'd rather just "decorate" my blog daily with my words and/or an appropriate image.I've been using the minima template (and still do on my dumaguetewebsite blog) but I haven't been totally satisfied with it.My bigges
Biden's Mumbo-Jumbo. 2008-09-10 12:59:00 Just what sort of mumbo-jumbo alchemy is it that Joe Biden
believes in and practices?He's given to pontificating on matters both theological and scientific but, he understands neither.After his comments on when life begins, a number of Catholic Bishops pointed out that Biden is mistaken-not only from a religious view, but from a common sense understanding of basic human biology as well.As Bishop Read more:Jumbo
NARAL supports Biden.....slams Palin. 2008-09-08 10:32:00 In recent statements, NARAL gives it's support to Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden
and slams Sarah Palin."Most notably, Sen. Biden has a strong record of opposing judicial nominees with hostile anti-choice [pro-life] records. He voted against George W. Bush's two anti-choice [pro-life] nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and he opposed anti-choice [pro-life] Jus
Obama in over his head. 2008-09-06 14:26:00 This time last year, long before anyone cast a vote in the Democratic primaries, everyone assumed that Senator Hillary Clinton would be the Democrat Presidential nominee for 2008. Absolutely no one questioned that.I believe, that when he first announced his candidacy, Barack Obama
himself probably believed that as well.In an early Washington Post story, it was noted,"Despite all the hype about h
Drilling in ANWR. 2008-09-05 11:12:00 One sure-fire way to set Leftist/Liberal Environmentalists off into a tizzy is to suggest that we open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil drilling.The environment is too fragile....whatever gains we may see will be minuscule.So goes the argument.In an ad from defenders.org , drilling in ANWR will give us a "toxic wasteland where there was once a publicly owned wildlife refuge".M

Comments from the Georgia Dept. of Education. 2008-10-08 23:41:00 When I arrived home from work, I discovered an inordinate amount of harassing, snotty, anonymous comments left on several of my posts. Someone has taken a dislike to me and what I write; he - or she- took quite a long time going throughout the blog,dropping these little tidbits.Of course, there's no use looking for those comments now. It was easy enough for me to delete the lot of them. With email Read more:Comments

My Two Cents' Worth. 2008-10-06 08:09:00 In June of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court declared in the case of Boumediene v. Bush that the prisoners held in military detention by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps had a right to habeas corpus under the United States Constitution.I agreed with the decision and I posted an entry on the subject [What's wrong with habeas corpus?] shortly after. I quoted an article from Read more:Worth
