But we plan on capping it off with a trip to St. Anne's Chapel [http://www.societycantius.org/StAnne.htm]

Anti-Catholicopedia

I saw this at the Catholic Exchange roundtable message board [http://www.catholicexchange.com/messageboard/docs/viewtopic.asp?mbid=2&DocumentID=11645] . I've been thinking the same thing lately: > If any of you have any time now or this summer, it would be a great help

Fathers of the Church

Ennui Nation

Or maybe it's "Nerd Nation." You decide [http://www.happynews.com/news/532006/abc-to-show-spelling-bee-in-prime-time.htm] : > For the first time in its 79-year history, the National Spelling Bee . . . will go prime time for next month's drama-filled finals.

Cheech and Chong Nation

I missed this story yesterday: Mexico is poised to legalize cocaine, heroin, LSD, marijuana, PCP, opium, synthetic opiates, mescaline, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, amphetamines, and methamphetamines. LA Times Link [http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-legalize3may03,0,5634216.story?track=tothtml] . I gotta believe this was on the TV news,
