I heard a rumor Obama was on 60 minutes...

I didn't tune in.

It seems Timothy Geithner wants to raise the debt limit by 2 TRILLION dollars.  What?  Doug Ross has provided us with the details - and we thank him.

Dead Rat Bounce

When you are the President and something goes right, you get the credit. I don't begrudge that for a second. Most people view the killing of bin Laden as a good thing, and the President has experienced a slight uptick in his polling numbers as a result.

That's the good news for the President. He better enjoy it. read it all

Reaganite Republican, that handsome man, has made me his featured blog this week.  That means I'll have to post some insightful, intelligent, well-punctuated material. Oh, the pressure.

Fantasy Bishball

Meantime, we had our draft choices for Fantasy Bishball this evening.  What is Bishball?  Glad you asked.  Some of you have probably heard of fantasy baseball.  You draft a team and then track their stats.  I understand it can get pretty brutal.

Being the good, solid and devout (whatever that is) Catholics we are, we decided to play Bishball.  Each of us picked three bishops to follow from now until the beginning of Advent.  We earn points for different cool stuff they do, like smiting dragons and hanging heretics.  Ok - maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.   In reality, we earn points for every good article they write, homily they may give, or any time another blogger or newspaper writes something good about them.   We could earn extra points if they call Pelosi a bad Catholic, or suggest Joey Plugs become an Episcopalian.

We have our own blog set up by LarryD of Acts of the Apostasy (we love Larry) who was the originator of this whole idea ('cause he's a little nuts.)   My team, Mighty Mitres, has a solid lineup of three bishops;  James Conley of Denver, Paul Etienne of Cheyenne, and Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland.  I'm going to kick some Catholic derriere! 

I just may have to hit up Odie the Woodsterman for a team logo...
