Moving a bit Late...
Dang! I missed this year's Pug Gala in Seattle. I wonder if they all go out for a pug crawl after. It will be almost a year till I get to find out, it seems. Sigh.

Resistance is Futile
Starbuck's continuing mission to assimilate the world goes on... Seattle's Best and Torrefazione Italia have bitten the dust. And nobody knows outside of Seattle, apparently.

Living History
In the interest of history, check out this sample of Hillary's book. It is very moving.

Here's a related nice bit of sarcasm directed at Baba Wawa. One thing that caught my eye is the strange case of Greg Packer, professional Man on the Street.

Regarding Hillary's obviously-planned eventual run for the presidency, I think the view of Andrew Sullivan is fairly close to the mark; she would be an incredibly divisive President, even more so than her husband. Things are noty perfect now, but Bush inferited a much more divided American than he is likely to leave behind.

In other political news, one of the doofuses from MTV's Real World wants to run for Congress.

Again with the Corndog's Culture Corner?
Without the star power of Leonard Nimoy, amatuer Patrick J. Collins has mananged to make a much more embarrassing video. A rap video. Starring CocoNelly the Cat. Yeeps.

Corndog's Culture Corner
For those in Lord of the Rings mode, here's Leonard Nimoy singing "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins". With groovy go-go girls!
It's a little known triva fact that Leonard Nimoy jumped on the Bad Singing and Bad Poetry bandwagons much earlier and with much more gusto than William Shatner did. Unfortunately, Shatner was always better at being terrible, so Nimoy ended up being the Betamax of Bad Star Trek Singers, missing out on the huge priceline.com payout. Still, no discounting the badness that Mr. I-am-not-Spock-or-am-I was capable of ... submittend for your approval... "Proud Mary".

Wing sings the Carpenters and such. Not your cup of ... um .. tea? What about punk songs for babies? Still no? Okay, some real culture "No Tears for Caesar" ... William Shatner doing a rap song based on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Happy now?

Upperclass Twit of the Year Candidates
During debate, some members of the British House of Lords spam email with a Hormel product! OK, so that might be an exaduration, but it's still amusing.

Weirdness at Georgetown
It seems that people there... especially faculty members.. in theology yet... are offended that Cardinal Arinze supports Church teaching. Worse, he actually said so in a commencement speech at a Catholic university. (The horror!)

Fair and Balanced
Someone sent me a link to "Busted Halo" ... apparently a site that takes great pains to seem happnin' to the Gen -X -Y -Z crowd. (By-the-by .. what comes after GenZ? GenAA? I hope someone is working on this problem now. I'd hate for us not to have a convenient label to tatoo onto the next demographic group comin' down the pike.

Where was I? Oh yes. The "Busted Halo" folks have a wacky survey question that reminds me of the publisher J. Jonah Jameson's headlines: "Spiderman: Menace or Threat" (geeky Marvel Comics reference). There are no allowances for any positive or even neutral opinon on Bush's environmental policy available. The closest is "always putting the economy 1st as it should be" .. which of course just says that it's good to rape the environment as long as that provides jobs. This kinda thing cracks me up. I thought I'd share.

Oh... weird
Looking over that "busted halo" site, I found something a bit disturbing. Someone sent a query to their "question box", asking whether Jesus had "biological brothers" (question 3). While the answer points out (correctly) that the word used in Scripture for "brother" also means "cousin" (thus, there is no support in Scripture for the idea that Mary gave birth to any children after Jesus, nowhere does Fr Hoover come out and say that Jesus had no such "biological brothers". He just mentions that that is "not as important" as other things. Wha...?

The Perpetual Virginity of Mary is an infallible teaching of the Chirch! What gives here? Why can't he even mention that fact?

I'm also not quite convinced that the main reason Protestants dispute the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Mother is because it is a "closet argument for celibacy"; my perception is that they are usually targeting the honor which we give Mary as the Mother of God. (Which they misread as worship due only to God.
