Yet Another Sarcastic Black & White Video About Health Care Reform

After seeing the originals and talking about sarcasm yesterday, are you getting tired of these? Strangely, I don’t think I am yet.

Jim Caviezel: Our Lives are Miracles

Catholic actor discusses fatherhood

In doing some reading last night, I came across this Catholic Digest interview with Catholic actor Jim Caviezel.  In the course of the discussion on his movies (including the recently released The Stoning of Soraya M), Mr. Caviezel discusses his love relationship with his adoptive children from China, Bo and LeLe.

“I don’t even know who I was before (laughs). Dennis Quaid told me a long time ago when... READ MORE 


RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett

Let's remember to pray for the people behind celebrity news stories

After reading earlier today that actress Farrah Fawcett had died after a battle with cancer, I was shocked to read just moments ago that Michael Jackson, age 50, has also died today—apparently of heart failure.

It’s been a big week for the quirky social networking site Twitter.com.  First came the ongoing news coverage of the “race” between celebrity Ashton Kutcher and CNN’s Breaking News Feed (think Anderson Cooper) to amass a million followers on Twitter.  Kutcher ended up having to make good on his promise to donate 10,000 mosquito net beds to a World Malaria Day charity by beating CNN to the punch. ...

I Pledge…

hopefully something not too ridiculous

Seen the video various celebrities put out pledging to be better people now that President Obama is in office?

I freely confess it strains my capacity to think charitably of others. They pledge things like smiling, being kind to people, being a good mom.

Honestly. Can you imagine letting your effort to be a decent person depend upon who’s in office? Every four years I stop trying to be good? I think... READ MORE 


Beauty and the Cross

After “America’s Next Top Model,” Leah Darrow was looking for something more.

By Father Ernest Daly, LC


When Leah Darrow appeared as a contestant on the hit reality TV show “America’s Next Top Model,” she says, “My eyes were dramatically opened to the pitfall of today’s desire to be the next ‘beautiful thing.’”

Yet, when she was eliminated on the TV show, she wanted to capitalize on her fame while she could. She made the fateful decision to move to New York, leaving her family... READ MORE
