"Persecuted Like Jews"
Category: religion

ROME - A senior Vatican priest speaking at a Good Friday service compared the uproar over sexual abuse scandals in the Catholic Church - which have included reports about Pope Benedict XVI's oversight role in two cases - to the persecution of the Jews, sharply raising the volume in the Vatican's counterattack.

--

I hope the Catholic Church collapses. Really. Not because I'm persecuting them, but because they're more of an entrenched bureaucratic institution than a vital cultural force.

Amen, Brother Jim. Between this and the "Devil in the media" article I read off of Drudge I am just at a loss.

Change Jar Day

The yearly cash-in went nicely! That was a lot of quarters. iPad paid
halfway off.

Still. Wow. That's a good change-sum. :)

jim - 04/01/10 18:24
Any change I get from a purchase I throw straight into the jar, so that's about $0.65-ish a day?

tinypliny - 04/01/10 18:07
I can't believe how much you made. I lose change ALL the time! To think, I could have been a change-millionaire. Or as they say in Delhi Chillad-Crorepati.

Chillad - Change
Crorepati - ~Millionaire

What do you do with 0.50?

I used to have so much change but then I started buying bottled water at work for $1.50 a pop ;(

1.0!

At work we just went 1.0 and released our project (it's college admissions software).

Pretty awesome feeling after 8 months of hard work. (Along with (e:zobar) my new co-worker)

This is a drawing of a ship, in honor of shipping.

Paul: thanks!

Tinypliny: that's a hawsehole :)

Nice! Is that lone hole in the front meant to symbolize something?

paul - 03/29/10 22:11
Congratulations!

Bad thought.

This is the cutest terrorist boy I've ever seen.

Ah-ha!

Thanks for reminding me of that Now I need to like get one of those videos. I don't know much about the country really. But some stuff is very traditional and then you also have animee and cosplay. Yet on subways no one talks and they had all these sliding phones years before they came here so they could text away.

Japan is so weird. In some ways they are ultra conservative and other ways they are just plain freaky. Bukake (spelling?) is all you gotta say.

metalpeter - 03/23/10 18:06
I'm going to attack America here instead of Japan. Yes it is a dog suite and yes I have no idea what is being said and if it is for treats for the dog or for the kid. Ha think about how excited scoby would get fro a scoby snack! Now is this really any different then the ads we have with cats who sing the Meow Mix song, or who's eyes get huge. As Much as I love them how about all those Bud ads with horses playing football? Out ads are just as wacky.
