Castro/Columbus/Catholicism & everything in between

If you’re following the step-down of Fidel Castro, Fausta’s is the place to be – she’s got the best round-up.

Some of the headlines, however, make Castro sound like he’s primed for Sainthood, and Newsbusters is keeping tabs on the glows and halos.

Speaking of glows and halos, I think I linked to this piece a little bit ago, but it’s worth running again, as we anticipate the next groovy-sounding lunar eclipse.

And speaking of saints, the Vatican is slowing down the process…because things work way too fast over there at the Vatican!

Speaking of Catholic, Julie at Happy Catholic – my favorite Catholic blog and the one I just nominated as best all-round Catholic Blog for the 2008 Catholic Blog Awards – is pointing us to a new Catholic Apologetics Blog, The Raft on the Tiber, and recommending it for all of your Catholic Wonderings. Looks great.

Speaking of Julie, she’s posted a book review of Jane Lebak’s Seven Archangels: Annihilation, that had me scurrying over to Amazon for my copy. A little Sci-Fi to spice up the Lenten/Easter reading? Why not?

Speaking of writing, I have a piece up over at Pajama Media entitled, Mama, We’re All RINO’S Now! which has made a few people angry, but really – I think a lot of the commentors are making my point for me.

Speaking of writing that makes people angry, Jonah Goldberg points out that Michelle Obama, like Hillary Clinton before her, has her university thesis kept under lock and key. Who said Hillary wasn’t a trailblazer?

Speaking of Trailblazing, don’t do it by investigating the UN, unless you want to get Google mad at you. H/T Instapundit.

Speaking of investigating, folks are starting to look at the substantial mushmouth for clues to what Obama’s rhetoric really means. Cindy McCain wonders if Michelle Obama really has never been proud of America before this election cycle, but nobody seems to be investigating whether Obama really can heal the nation’s soul. Imagine if George Bush’s wife had ever made such a claim, the uproar!

Speaking of Bush, he is still a good man who has done good things while being treated reprehensibly by the press and many in his own party.

Speaking of another good man, and what’s important, watch the video and take a moment to recall what really matters. It’s not most of the stuff that you’ve just read about. H/T Bev.
