The Golden Compass

I hope this film gets the same poor reception as Redacted. If you are not keeping up, read the latest the Catholic League has to say about the spin waged to deny that it's anti-Catholic and anti-Christian to the core.

Jeff Beck

Jeff Beck last played in the UK more than three years ago - his first gig since 1990 - so the run of five nights at Ronnie Scott is one of the most sought-after tickets in town.

tal wilkenfeld

These are no reheated moves; this is the real thing. Backed by a cracking three-piece band (including an almost prepubescent looking bass player, Tal Wilkenfeld) Beck is a commanding and still charismatic presence.

rotten neighbors

Posting complaints about your neighbors is just one part of what's known as on-line shaming. In June, ABC7 told you about people who embarrass their friends and enemies on the web in our special segment "Cyber Smearing." Now, a cybersmearing site that attacks "rotten neighbors," is at 41 million users and counting.

Spirit in the Sky

"I'm going up to the Spirit in the Sky - That's where I want to go when I die...", the words and music hum through the minds of anyone who has listened to top-40 radio in the past four decades. Music legend Norman Greenbaum penned and recorded the hit song "Spirit In The Sky" in late 1969, which rocketed to #1 in the U.S. and Great Britain.

Geechy Guy

This bit from the Bob & Tom show is definitely worth the time it takes to download. It is from a comedian named Geechy Guy. I actually heard this tonight on a re-run of the tonight show from the 90s. Pretty funny stuff.

Nerdcore

I feel at home at hip hop shows. I am in my element. I am around people who love the same kind of music I love. This past Wednesday night, however, for the first time in my show-going life I was at a hip hop show as an outsider. Nerdcore rap was something that I had only vaguely heard of, all I knew of it was rap with a whole lot of references to video games, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, the Internet and comic books and oh yeah this MC Frontalot guy was considered the "Godfather" of it all.

Presidential Election

At this point I have not picked anyone to support from the 8 in the Republican party. No one seems to be perfect, but all (except one) could get my vote and I could campaign for any of them. The Democrats are incapable of getting my vote. '''I am, without apology, a single issue voter.'''

Pro-life without ambiguity.

Mike Huckabee: I like him a lot, but as governor of Arkansas, he doesn't have the experience. He's been called a tax-raiser. He polls well only in Iowa. Electability zero.
Duncan Hunter: great as a Congressman. Electability zero.
Tom Tancredo: great as a Congressman. Electability zero.
Ron Paul: on everything but abortion, an embarrassment

Pro-life with ambiguity.

Mitt Romney: he switched from being pro-choice to being pro-life. I know what his explanation is. I'm not buying it. On everything else, he's good.
John McCain: no leadership at all on pro-life and he played "Maverick" games with judicial appointments. He's paying the price now for not being a team player with the agenda Republicans. Electability: near zero.
Fred Thompson: before he announced, I sent him a donation. He just doesn't create any enthusiasm. He would be in the above group if he announced that life begins at conception or that he supported the human life amendment, even symbolically. Electability: near zero.

Pro-abortion with ambiguity.

Rudy Giuliani: he signals that he'd appoint justices that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Ted Olsen and some other pro-life legal brains are in his corner. If it came down to Rudy, Hillary, and a pro-life third party candidate, I'd be on Team Rudy.

Pro-abortion without ambiguity
no one.

I wrote the above without reviewing what other Catholics have been writing on their blogs. After I read them, I will be back on this topic.

Extreme Catholic 2.0

This is a relaunch of Extreme Catholic. At this point I again have the time to devote to creating a blog that people will want to read on my observations of the the world, and in particular the media, and popular culture as its relates to my Catholic faith. As I wrote in my first blog entry on December 17, 2002

I’d like this blog to be interesting to the reader, provide some insight into the Catholic faith and it’s interface into our present time and culture, express my opinions about politics, media, and technology with a balance of logic and humor. In my first post I’d like to acknowledge the help and inspiration from Mark Shea and Rod Dreher who have given me the encouragement to add my voice to blogspace. For the greater glory of God, begin.

I will cleanup the left column stuff as time permits. It's long out of date but I suspect readers are here for the unique content. My prayer today, is one I share with many Catholic bloggers: it is to have the time to work on this blog without neglecting the obligations of my life.

Stephanie Pratt

I'm assuming Lauren would extend her "It's not okay to have your boyfriend do your dirty work" philosophy to sisters. Stephanie Pratt (aka She-Pratt) stepped into her brother's shoes by berating Lauren, Brody, and Audrina, defending her (possibly) soon-to-be sister-in-law and the Pratt dynasty.

The Great Debaters

Denzel Washington says becoming a huge Hollywood star was never part of his childhood dream. The American Gangster star revealed he wanted to be a football player rather than an Oscar-winning actor.

heroes finale

Trust me, that NBC promo dude ain't kiddin' in the Heroes teaser that aired tonight! And frankly, I'm a wee bit scared about the two impending deaths in next week's winter finale...which I have a little exclusive scoop on below.

Shawn Taylor

Shawn Taylor: well, if you're looking for the story on "Shawn" Taylor, the Washington Redskins player who was shot this morning, you'll do better to go here, to see the story on Sean Taylor (see, Sean, not Shawn Taylor?) the Washington Redskins player who was shot this morning. Got that? It's Sean, not Shawn Taylor?

Prairie Tumbleweed Farm

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! Prairie Tumbleweed Farm in Kansas has created a new gift idea by turning tumbleweeds, which are kind of like giant weedy hairballs of the prairie, into a popular holiday item. They are promoting tumbleweeds as a distinctive item that can be used as a decoration (plenty of space for lights, tinsel, etc.) or as a unique gift.

Snow Leopard

Up until a few years ago I had never seen a Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) in captivity, but the Bronx Zoo has had great success in keeping the big cats as well as breeding them. In addition to taking in "Leo," a male Snow Leopard on loan from Pakistan, on June 7, 2006 the adult female Mei Mei gave birth to two females, one of which is pictured above

Gesundheit Institute

Vision for a Free Hospital: Gesundheit Institute There would be no charge for the care. Future Gesundheit Hospital "...Barter was also not an option. In fact, we wanted to eliminate the idea of debt in the medical interaction as a way to begin recreating human community. We didn't want people to think they owed something; we wanted them to think they belonged to something..."

James Carville

CNN put Hillary supporter James Carville on its debate roundup -- prompting critics to point out that the network failed to identify her sufficiently as a Hillary supporter and that the network has been giving a platform to Hillary-backing "independent" analysts for way too long.

american girl dolls

It was Sept. 28 and I was late too late to score a lunch reservation at American Girl Place for any weekend from mid-November to mid-December. This was a problem. Our trip to the American Girl mega-complex on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan had become a tradition in our family _ something my daughters and, yes, even me, really looked forward to as a way to kick off the holidays. If I think about it rationally, I shouldn't like it so much. It's too expensive, it's too crowded, it's too ridiculous to think about scores of girls lined up for their turn to watch their dolls get their hair styled at the AG Salon for $20 - and perhaps a facial scrub (for the dolls) too.

joran van der sloot

Dutch student Joran van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, were arrested on suspicion of involvement in voluntary manslaughter and causing serious bodily harm that resulted in the death of Holloway, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Bitten by a bat but kissed on stage

Mr Darling may think that, even when a mega-blunder occurs, a Chancellor of the Exchequer need not consider his position, but Times columnists take our responsibilities more seriously. Were anyone bitten by a bat to die of rabies on account of reading this column last week and taking my advice not to bother seeing a doctor, I would feel honour-bound to resign. So I had better cover myself.

myspace thanksgiving comments

As I was leaving a comment for my daughter on her MySpace, I noticed a little section she had added that listed things in her life that she wouldn't trade for anything. She had things like racing horses down the beach with her best friends, ACS (Methodist Youth Conference) and Thanksgiving with her whole family. I smiled as I read the list of moments in her life that she wouldn't trade for anything. Those moments in our lives are what Thanksgiving is about. It's not about whether the turkey is perfect or if the pie is right. Usually at our house, the turkey is done when the smoke alarm goes off. myspace thanksgiving comments

Typhoid

The situation also means the once-tough-talking Spitzer, now widely considered by his fellow Democrats as "the Typhoid Mary of politics" because of the political damage done to them by his massively unpopular plan to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens, has entered a desperate new phase of his first year in office - one in which he rejects the advice of his own financial professionals in order to curry favor with the voters.

Alabama aught to be mad as heck, and there is just no telling what will happen.
