"I chose EWTN..."

What a shock! You should have added "the most objective."

Well that would really suck. :o(

And here I thought Steven was making a theological statement. ;o)

What a shock!

I can't blame Dave. I wouldn't turn on MSNBC to watch election returns.

[SoothingDave]

I'd invite you to view the tapes from the various sources, and I bet you dollars to donuts EWTN would have the least blabbing and most basic coverage of the event. I liken it to choosing ot watch an event on C-SPAN, cause they generally just show you the event.

Why would I think EWTN objective? I know it's not.

What a way to celebrate the Pioneers 2nd consecutive championship, eh?

(I haven't had the chance to see them, but I've seen UND play a few games in the tournament and they look good.)

Regretfully I must decline your kind invitation.

My attention span is so short I automatically tune out repititious scenes and verbiage after the tenth iteration.

ya pretty exciting. I even took a half day off yesterday just to watch them. they had a god-awful start time of noon our time.

[malakhi]

Nice! Wonder when that was taken.

I don't understand why they couldn't have played the games at a better time. 2pm Eastern on a Thursday is really stupid. They could have started the first game at, say 5 and have the second at 9. Then they'd have more of it in prime time to let those who want to watch it.

Is "Altitude" your local sports channel? I was able to watch some of the regional games a weekend ago on my Dish. Sometimes there's unscrambled stuff on "alternate" sports channels. They were carrying the feed from "Altitude."

It could be Photo Shop?

[malakhi]

Yeah, you're probably right.

[SoothingDave]

As always, a certain percentage of Catholics sleep in and miss Mass. :-)

Is it that hard to think that we think that the deceased's remains should be treated with respect?

A Catholic theologian interviewed on the local radio said that cremation was associated with atheism for a long time. Apparently, there was an element of thumbing one's nose at the deity when one was cremated, as if to say "okay, big guy, ressurect this..." As such, the Catholics did not think it was a good practice. Does any of this sound familiar?

[SoothingDave]

That's about right. The Church today in no way encourages cremation. At best it tolerates it for practical reasons. But it may never be permitted in order to deny Christian dogma.

My Mother just had a Catholic funeral 3 weeks ago, she was cremated.....I didn't like the idea but I was kind of outnumbered by my other 7 brother and sisters.
