12. Hockey News - To the chagrin of many, the Canadian National Junior hockey team lost the championship game 6-5 (in overtime) to a very deserving US team. This broke a streak of 5 straight gold medals for the Canadian team. While the games themselves are great (once the teams get on a equal footing - Canada beat Latvia in the opening game by an 18-0 score), the exclusive media coverage by Canadian sports channel TSN has come under a lot of criticism - Chris Selley: The five golden rules of broadcasting the World Junior Hockey Championships - Full Comment#commentmessage#commentmessage.
I love hockey, but guys.....it's a game....
Opposition to promoting Pope XII for sainthood does not take into account the lives he saved by using a less confrontational approach. Records show that he managed to save many Jewish children because he sent out the word to Catholic schools and orphanages to save as many as possible. Using revisionistic standards is therefore considered to be unfair and anachronistic given the times and the nature of the beast. A.S.
ReplyDeleteI read the article in the politically corrrect Chronicle Horrible about Manna.Sounds like a lot of wind and fury signifying nothing. Her cries of mistreatment are unsubtantiated so all one can conclude is that she is capitalizing on the prospect that racial profiling is next. To avoid concerns that she would perhaps be targetted she could have looked less conspicuous. The Koran does not require her to wear a hijab, niqab, etc... The fact was that she was making a political statement which is a new trend which began in Egypt as a protest to remving the headress when writing exams. She is sitting on the fence like most Muslims who are waiting to see which way the wind will blow.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Pope Paul XII, I am not sure that anyone knows the whole story
