Now for some real news: This is awful.Hopefully Hinz-Schleuter will be fined more than $1000 after this. This story is awesome. These young people are raising awareness of serious problems. The economic and social situation of many First Nations people in Canada has been unacceptably bad for a very long time. However, these people are real leaders and their efforts will, I sincerely hope, result in meaningful change.

Repenth, ye sinners! The Vatican has decided to give us some new mortal sins.
They're rather on the vague side, I think. Not sure how they'll get more confessions this way, though. Maybe they should consider waterboarding...

Idiocy. At this rate, I'll be important soon, just because my personal life is so boring. @@

Matt Lewis at Townhall.com poses a very good question:
Larry Craig, David Vitter are still in office...what are the chances Spitzer stays til the end of his term?

Indeed. They sound like the ACLU version of the deadly sins, to be more specific...

Ah, so....the "new" deadly sins list was a discussion. Hardly an official Vatican proclamation!
Don't let that stop anti-Vatican media... (and really, some of those new sins did sound like they came out of the ACLU more than the Vatican)

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336189,00.html Turns out the Vatican SIN hype is toppered by this expose of the lies and disinformations of the anti-PLASTIC bag Brits..... Just goes to prove that junk science remains JUNK NEWS, too........

Eliot Spitzer is supposed to resign soon. Can I point out that at least he has the decency (for all his sins) to do so, while David Vitter, Larry Craig, Barney Frank and others did not?
Maybe this is premature. Maybe he won't resign. Afterall, Larry Craig promised to resign but decided to duke it out til the end of his term (which is soon). And on this very subject: Michael Medved note: and Medved leaves out another very important factor: Spitzer, unlike Larry Craig, has built his tower out of his victims. He has a lot of enemies. UPDATE: if Spitzer does resign, here's the profile on his Lt. Gov, who would be his successor. Apparently a much nicer guy in temperament (he's also legally blind).

um...involvement with prostitution rings? Same reason I want Spitzer and Vitter to resign.
Don't tell me: you have specific reasons for Larry Craig and David Vitter to resign.

I think the catholic church SHOULD declare pollution and crass capitalism at the expense of the poor sins. Would make them more consistent with their doctrine...
Its nice to actually see religious people in THIS country finally diverging from the closed minded inconsistent selective view of Christianity as right wing radicalism. Despite what weve been brain washed to believe for the past 25 years, Christianity is NOT = to the Republican party and Christian values are NOT = to the republican political platform. And I guess we are finally seeing the schism between the so called "religious right" and the religiously conscious in this country. The religious community is finally no longer being defined as a monolithic entity focused on just a few issues. Yes Christians SHOULD care about the environment. Yes Christians SHOULD take global warming seriously and not write it off from the start simply for purely political reasons. Yes Christians SHOULD care about the fate of the poor and the neglected and the needy and not simply scream about gay marriage and abortion and turn around and support tax breaks for the rich and cut backs in care programs for those in need. Yes Christians SHOULD voice concern about wars and foreign activity that certainly don’t jive with Christian ideology. Lets hope this phenomenon continues to grow…
