Ok here we go. I want to know why it’s OK to run off at the mouth making public insults about Catholic priests. Why is that not a problem? Calling to mind recent events with Imus, Rosie, Sharpton who obviously did not get away with trashing people in the public eye, why exactly is it acceptable to make crude attempts at humor involving Catholics?
It’s not. It’s completely wrong. And my opinion is that Robin Williams is an absolute WUSS to think he can make stand-up comedy about one denomination over another. You heard me Robin, you’re a wuss for that little Tonight Show stunt you pulled. Weak wussy coward you are.
So don’t be surprised if Catholics stop watching films starring Robin Williams after this. And as one of the hundeds of thousands millions of movie-going Catholics in the world, I’m thinking “License to Wed” is going down at the box office. You can bank on it.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue responds again.
Amen, Brother Bill.

I cannot tell a lie. Google will be setting up shop nearby in the not too distant future. It’s true! Read all about it here.
For now I must get back to work… Sister L is troubleshooting her own email issues, which spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e. No, don’t throw your tower out the window Sister! Put that back down!

Sister A, my famous email buddy who likes to share the latest and greatest messages floating around the internet, forwarded a message to me containing the Catholic League’s ad that was printed in the New York Times on June 12, 2007. Here’s what William A. Donohue, Catholic League President, has to say about Barbara Walters and “The View”.
Not looking good for you Barb. Ticking off a few million Catholics is never a smart thing to do.

Father’s Day weekend went very, very well. It went so well that I didn’t have time to blog! I mean, how could I even think about posting a blog when we were so busy properly appreciating the Dad-dudes in our family for their excellent Dad-like contributions? That takes time and energy, you know. Like I would sit down in front of my computer and actually type? *pfft*
Not that I didn’t want to… okay, moving along now.
So what did we do to praise the Dad-dudes? Here goes one of my famous lists for lack of freedom to generate actual paragraphs while on office time:
- Breakfast in bed, complete with orange juice, cinnamon rolls, greeting cards, gifts and the morning newspaper.
- Playing miniature golf and racing go carts in the sweltering hot & humid 94 degree temps.
- Eating an unlimited spaghetti lunch at the pasta place where there is always something for everyone on the menu, including pizza.
- Touring ITCM’s alma mater before attending mass at the on-campus parish, and then jumping in a fountain for cooling off purposes afterward.
- Calling Catholic Grandpa and Grandpa Allen on the cell to personally wish them a “Happy Father’s Day!” and to see if they received the greeting cards that were so promptly mailed earlier in the week. (They did. Cool.)
And so now I’m back at the Mother House to rest work after such a glorious and eventful weekend. I think I need a nap after all that excitement. BTW: Pay no attention to my closed office door later in the day, as there isn’t a sleeping IT’er in there. Nope. Not a single one.
