Don’t go see “The Golden Compass”

November 23rd, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

I’m hoping that all God’s children have gotten the word by now, whether by e-mail or blog posts like Fr. Joseph’s (HERE) or articles like this one, but since so many people see movies over the Thanksgiving holidays, it’s worth a repeat: Don’t go to see the movie in theaters now called “The Golden Compass.” […]

The Mad Clockfixers of Paris

October 4th, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

Pretty off-topic, but I thought it was funny.
Via the London Times online: Paris is under attack by extremely well-organized stealth operatives who have been sneaking into museums and Parisian catacombs and … cleaning up historic sites. Or repairing things. Or holding poetry readings.

Mr Kunstmann belongs to les UX, a clandestine network that is on […]

The dishonesty of atheism

September 26th, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

Greg shared a YouTube video with me last week, and I think he did it on purpose knowing that it would bug me a lot. He was right. On the video you have Richard Dawkins, a well-known atheist, apparently (though not well-known to me. I don’t hang out with lightning rods.). He wrote a book […]

Out of the mouths of silenced babes

August 13th, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

I’m old enough to remember when pro-abortionists (it was okay to call them that back then) were still saying what a golden era we were stepping into with Roe v. Wade. It was going to be just wonderful. With mothers blissfully free from doing anything even as complicated as crossing state lines to terminate their […]

Veneration in art museums, chihuahua dumbness, etc.

July 22nd, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

Via Yahoo News: File this under People Who Don’t Know They’re Orthodox Yet:
PARIS (AFP) - A Cambodian-born French woman faces prosecution for criminal damage after planting a kiss on a
painting by the American artist Cy Twombly, leaving the imprint of her lipstick on the otherwise immaculate white canvas.

Good thing it wasn’t an icon she kissed […]

Bad ship’s decor, postmodernism and “A Night at the Museum”

May 31st, 2007 ~ Travel blogging, Culture gone mad

This will be my fifth cruise, and so I’m used to the fact that you spend the first couple days getting lost. I counted it as a victory today when I found the gym. I had followed the signs but always ended up in the wrong place. Today when I finally broke down and asked, […]

Catman do

May 20th, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

Catherine K’s comment on the last post made me remember something I read about recently — a guy who’s been altering his body for years to make himself look like a cat.
Thought maybe I just dreamt it, but nope.
Stalking Cat started his transformation in 1980 after leaving his post as a sonar submarine technician for […]

Unnatural shocks

April 19th, 2007 ~ Current events, Culture gone mad

The spring air was delicious when I left the grocery store yesterday, and I couldn’t resist just sitting in the car with the windows down for a minute feeling the breeze on my face. It took me a minute to focus my eyes on the large flag flapping gently on the flagpole of the restaurant […]

Imus-ta gone mad

April 12th, 2007 ~ Current events, Culture gone mad

The current flak over a stupid comment by a stupid radio guy is just too much to be believed. I wouldn’t have thought that an idiotic sound-byte like calling members of a women’s basketball team “nappy-headed ho’s” would be worth the time it even takes to type it.
But then, it really doesn’t have much to […]

“Pop culture discovers Jesus — once a year”

March 9th, 2007 ~ Culture gone mad

In case you weren’t offended enough by “The Lost Tomb of Christ,” this blog post from Michael Medved indicates that the “Easter Surprise” is on its way.
I’ve been working on a major column for USA TODAY (it’s slated to run in the newspaper on Monday) about the Discovery Channel documentary “The Lost Tomb of Jesus.” […]
