A link to this video was sent to me today, and, at the last part of the video, I had to ask myself, "Is that really a fake? It looks so much like a Microsoft product!" Microsoft has some of the most cluttered product packaging designs in the industry; look at the Windows XP SP2 retail packaging, if you need an example. The video is quite humorous, if you have about three minutes to spare.
Click here to see the pictures taken by my sister at the Friday night showing of Couch Potatoes. Stay tuned—more to come soon!
Thank you to all who supported the Seminary at the Couch Potatoes: Twice Baked show last night, and welcome to anyone who will be coming today. The Friday night show was completely sold out, and the Saturday shows are almost sold out already (if you need tickets, arrive early)!
I don't have much time right now, but I'll be sure to post some of the many pictures I have within the next two days, as well as a more detailed account of the show. The picture below is from Fr. Edward Richard's bluegrass band (which sounded awesome!):
This is the body of the letter I sent to Senator Jim Talent, concerning his withdrawal of support for the Senate bill banning human cloning:
Dear Senator Talent,
As one of the youth of 'Generation Y' who has witnessed firsthand many of the problems of America's 'Culture of Death,' I implore you to reconsider your withdrawal of support for the Human Cloning Prohibition Act, SB 658.
It is of utmost importance that we uphold the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death, and the importance of family, in our war against the pro-death policies that are sometimes made in our nation.
In the past few weeks, the story of Missouri Senator Jim Talent's withdrawal of support from a bill that he cosponsored, the "Human Cloning Prohibition Act" (SB 658), has been spreading amongst various media outlets. Today I received an 'Action Alert' from the Archdiocesan Respect Life Apostolate, asking for people to ask Sen. Talent to reinstate his support of the human cloning ban.
Read more about this issue on the Missouri Catholic Conference website.
Here's Senator Talent's contact information:
Washington, DC Office:
493 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Phone: 202-224-6154
Fax: 202-228-1518

I've posted two more links on my sidebar:
CatholicBlogs.com - I haven't used it much yet, but it looks very promising. There are blog-searching capabilities (over 700 Catholic blogs are already indexed!), and you can set up RSS feeds based upon your searches. This website is run by the same group that runs MyCatholic.com, an excellent online portal that I use from time to time to catch up on daily Catholic happenings.
A Catholic Life - A blog I'm surprised I haven't seen before. There's a ton of great information here, from a man still discerning his vocation in life. Check it out!
