2008-07-09-10:58 - Closing the insanity gap
In recent years the Catholic Church has been falling behind in the insanity race. Sure they have some crazy beliefs about condoms, but Islam really moved ahead with its reaction to cartoons of Mohammad. Well in an effort to close this insanity gap the Catholic Church is focusing its insanity on communion wafers. Not merely the idea that reciting Latin over these crackers turns them into Jesus, but what to do if someone takes one home without eating it.Webster Cook says he smuggled a Eucharist, a small bread wafer that to Catholics symbolic of the Body of Christ after a priest blesses it, out of mass, didn't eat it as he was supposed to do, but instead walked with it.
. . .
Catholics worldwide became furious.
. . .
"It is hurtful," said Father Migeul Gonzalez with the Diocese. "Imagine if they kidnapped somebody and you make a plea for that individual to please return that loved one to the family."
. . .
For a student to disrupt Mass by taking the Body of Christ hostage--regardless of the alleged nature of his grievance--is beyond hate speech. That is why the UCF administration needs to act swiftly and decisively in seeing that justice is done. All options should be on the table, including expulsion. Yes the Catholic Church want to expel him from college not eating a cracker. And of course many good Catholics want him killed as he has received numerous death threats. You'd think the University would take death threats against one of their students very seriously. It is hard to say, but they are stationing armed guards to protect crackers from not being eaten in during mass.

2008-07-09-19:01 - He is not dead yet!
Ted Kennedy had brain surgery a little over a month ago and had not planned to return to the Senate until September. However, in his absence the Republicans were trying to cut Medicare payments by 10.6%. This would likely cause many hospitals to stop taking Medicare and thus make it more difficult for senior citizens to get medical care they need.
Today Ted Kennedy walked into the US Senate to help ensure a bill that would restore funding for health care for senior citizens passed by a veto proof majority.I return to the Senate today to keep a promise to our senior citizens and that’s to protect Medicare.
Win, lose or draw, I wanted to be here. I wasn’t going to take the chance that my vote could make the difference.
