Kerry pulled Edwards away from Disney World

The Associated Press quoted two officials “close to the Kerry campaign” Monday who said that Edwards interrupted a trip to Walt Disney World last week to meet with Kerry in Washington.

The poor kid – he had to get off Tigger’s lap and fly to Washington!

Caption contest!

Let me get us started.

  • Your eyes say “No!” but your hair says, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
  • Kerry: You smell, terrific, John! Edwards: You smell terrific, too, John!
  • Edwards: I’ve never felt this way about a man before! Kerry: I’ve never run for President before!
  • Kerry: Don’t mention Vietnam too much. Edwards: What’s Vietnam?

Blowing up the bad guys

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. — Some Americans this Fourth of July plan to get a bang out of blowing Osama bin Laden’s head off.
The Bin Laden Noggin, a cone-shaped pyrotechnic device with a cartoon of bin Laden’s face, has been a hot seller at some fireworks stores across the country. When lighted, the bin Laden cone erupts in blood-red flames and screeches for 60 seconds. Two shots blow off his head.
It is part of an Exploding Terrorists Heads four-pack that also includes Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat and Moammar Gadhafi.
Another hot seller in some places: Game Over, a package of three artillery shots decorated like bin Laden, Saddam and Col. Gadhafi in striped jail uniforms.
Both sets of fireworks are made in China.

From The Human Soul by Abbot Anscar Vonier, OSB

I, for one, consider that with many men their faith has become uninteresting to them, because they have not grow out of the metaphor, the imagery of it, into a rational understanding. In everything else, their mind has become a man’s mind; they have put away the things of a child. In matters of Faith alone, they still are bound to speak as a child, to understand as a child, with the result that Faith has become insipid to their virile minds.

From a book written in 1913, this short passage has much to say to about catachesis today.
