Ric Flair VS Shawn Michaels

Here's the ending of the Flair/Michaels match. Not sure if I should say "awesome!" or "bunch of cry-babies."

Either way, I'm sad to see my hero retire.

Islam’s ‘Public Enemy #1’

Here's a good article about a priest who risks his life every day.

The very public conversion of high-profile Italian journalist Magdi Allam — who was baptized by Pope Benedict in Rome on Saturday — is only the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, Islamic cleric Ahmad al-Qatani stated on al-Jazeera TV a while back that some six million Muslims convert to Christianity annually, many of them persuaded by Botros’s public ministry. More recently, al-Jazeera noted Life TV’s “unprecedented evangelical raid” on the Muslim world. Several factors account for the Botros phenomenon.

Presbyterian Ad Mocks Confession

Shouldn't this be considered a hate crime? I like what Donahue had to say about it though.

Presbyterian Ad Mocks Confession

WTOP, a news radio station in Washington, D.C., is currently playing a commercial that ridicules the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The spot, paid for by a Presbyterian Church in the nation’s capital, mimics a man confessing his sins to a priest. The priest repeats the man’s sins back to him, and with each sin (e.g., having lustful thoughts while viewing lingerie ads and coveting a neighbor’s lawn equipment) a cash register clicks, as if to tally up the sum of each sin. At the end, a voice tells listeners that with the Presbyterian Church, their spiritual journey doesn’t have to be “a guilt trip.” According to station managers, this ad has been aired for two runs a year since 2004.

It is interesting that those who made this spot felt that in order to spur interest in their church, they had to mock a Catholic sacrament. Rather than boasting of a strong faith formation or meaningful religious services, these folks must rely on trivializing attack ads to gin up their declining membership.

It is also troublesome that such an ad is running during Holy Week. This most sacred season is often the time when those with an animus toward the Church level their assaults. We’re used to it. What we are not accustomed to, however, are these assaults coming from our fellow Christians. We hope that in the future, those responsible for this advertisement will choose to highlight Presbyterianism, rather than to belittle Catholicism.

WorldNetDaily: Ron Paul staff reneges on column deal

Ron Paul has way to many kooks working for him.

"Ron Paul has a long and honorable record of congressional service," added Farah, "but his subordinates are not serving him well. In particular, his chief of staff, Tom Lizardo, was uncooperative and rude when I called him to try to straighten out this mess. Normally, those who break agreements attempt to be conciliatory about it. Not Lizardo. He was not even interested in finding an amicable solution to the dilemma he created and the compact he violated."

TNA "Lockdown" news, courtesy of WWE

It's so strange that WWE is covering TNA and ROH news.

What's even stranger that is WWE is just posting things from PWInsider.com and other "news" sites that steal their newz from PWInsider.com.

Anyhow, go to wwe.com and click on 'Insider News' to see what they're posting. It's pretty funny when they post something about their own company and credit a site like "Lords of Pain" for it, though.

Unidentified Aircraft Strays Into D.C. No-Fly Zone

Talk about a bait-and-switch from Fox News. I think we all can agree that the phrase "Unidentified Aircraft" has an entirely different meaning than that of a private plane that had strayed off course.

:(

Homeland Security told FOX News that the FAA had established contact with the aircraft, which was identified as a private plane that had strayed off course. FOX News confirms that two F-16s and a Coast Guard helicopter were scrambled as part of the alert.

Bishop kidnapped in Iraq found dead

Man, the American media BURIED this story, and I don't know why.

ROME (AP) — A Chaldean Catholic archbishop kidnapped in Iraq last month has been found dead, the news agency of Italian bishops' conference reported on Thursday.

The SIR news agency says Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was found dead near the Iraqi city of Mosul, where he had been abducted.

"Monsignor Rahho is dead. We have found him lifeless near Mosul," the agency quoted the auxiliary bishop of Baghdad, Monsignor Shlemon Warduni, as saying. "The kidnappers had buried him."

Rahho was kidnapped on Feb. 29 soon after he left Mass in Mosul. Three people who had been with him were killed by the kidnappers. Pope Benedict XVI immediately called for his release and said the abduction was an "abominable" act.

The Chaldean church is an Eastern-rite denomination that recognizes the authority of the pope.

Internet Photos Show Mormon Missionaries Mocking Catholic Shrine

Robert Fotheringham, a regional missions official for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, confirmed the three men in the photos were church missionaries.

"We have a history of people doing things like this to us, so we're mortified that our missionaries would do it to someone else," Fotheringham said. "It's beyond embarrassing. It's inexcusable."

He declined to release their names.

The damaged statue seen in one of the photos depicts Manuel Morales, who was the 28-year-old president of Mexico's National League for the Defense of Religious Liberty when he was executed in 1926 for refusing to recognize laws he considered anti-religion. He was among more than two dozen Mexican saints canonized in 2000.

Ramsey: How to use your tax rebate

Check out Dave Ramsey's latest about tax rebates and home mortgages.

I don't like the idea that my money could be going to help someone else buy a big-screen television or whatever toy they've got in mind. I understand that the "rebate" is designed to stimulate the economy and pull us away from a possible recession, but it sounds a little like socialism to me – and that's just the opposite of capitalism.

The whole idea – increased consumer spending giving the economy a boost – sounds good in theory, but I think a much better idea would be to encourage freedom from debt. That would increase consumer spending and in turn cause the economy to flourish.

'Creepy gnome' terrorises town

Check the video!

A town in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.

The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.

That Martin Luther? He wasn’t so bad, says Pope

Pope Benedict XVI is to rehabilitate Martin Luther, arguing that he did not intend to split Christianity but only to purge the Church of corrupt practices.

Pope Benedict will issue his findings on Luther (1483-1546) in September after discussing him at his annual seminar of 40 fellow theologians — known as the Ratzinger Schülerkreis — at Castelgandolfo, the papal summer residence. According to Vatican insiders the Pope will argue that Luther, who was excommunicated and condemned for heresy, was not a heretic.
