I kid, I kid; I kid, because I care!

Thought this was pretty clever:
(And yes, I do like John Lennon; but that doesn’t change the fact that he was a pinko-commie.)

The National Interest analyzes the future of America in the world, Godfather-style:
The aging Vito Corleone, emblematic of cold-war American power, is struck down suddenly and violently by forces he did not expect and does not understand, much as America was on September 11. Even more intriguingly, each of his three “heirs” embraces a very different vision of how the family should move forward following this wrenching moment. Tom Hagen, Sonny and Michael approximate the three American foreign-policy schools of thought—liberal institutionalism, neoconservatism and realism—vying for control in today’s disarranged world order.

The Cause is out of Boston, which is kind of cool. The deacon who was healed has come to my school before, though that was before my time.

His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI:“‘Resurrexi, et adhuc tecum sum. Alleluia I have risen, I am still with you.’ Alleluia Dear brothers and sisters, Jesus, crucified and risen, repeats this joyful proclamation to us today: the Easter proclamation. Let us welcome it with deep wonder and gratitude.”

Talk about traveling light: how to travel with only one carry-on bag!
I might be going to Rome this summer, so maybe I should pay attention.

AmericanPapist reports that the Pope has declared Fr. Michael McGivney (founder of the KofC) to have had “heroic virtue.” Woohoo!

My buddy Curtis asked me what I thought about the McCain-Hagee kerfuffle. Far be it for me to not give an opinion on something!!
Let’s review: prominent Evangelical preacher endorses Republican candidate for President. The problem? Said prominent Evangelical preacher likes to say stuff like this:
Ahh. Cue outraged masses? Well, not for me. Besides the fact that these arguments have been made (and refuted!) since the time of Luther and Calvin, I don’t really give a damn what he thinks. I think most Catholics would not like it, but I doubt anyone would be crazy enough to ascribe his views to McCain.
So, why don’t we let the Stephen Colbert have the last word:
“I wish this guy could have been alive in 16th century Spain.”

Via the cousin who blogs, I find out I’ve been nominated for a Catholic Blog Award.
Seriously? Oh my.
I can’t in good conscience ask anyone to vote for me in the category of “Best Political/Social Commentary Blog,” because there are too many that, ya know, deserve it: AmericanPapist (with whom I’ve shared a few beers whilst in DC), Catholics Against Rudy, Into the Light of the Law (a great canon law blog), Sonitus Sanctus (great MP3 finds there), The Anchoress, and The Shrine of the Holy Whapping. And those are just the ones I read on a daily basis.
But if you must vote, go here and register (only once! No cheating!) and click the little button next to “Provoking the Muse.” And many thanks to you for doing so.

Why the Pope isn’t Coming to Boston, and why it was the right decision to make.
An interesting article, which argues that the Boston hierarchy hasn’t done enough to merit a visit. I don’t know if any of what the author says is actually why the Pope won’t be visiting, but I also can’t disagree with much the article talks about.

I went and did my Fourth Degree today with the Knights of Columbus, which means I got to get all dressed up:
That’s the Grand Knight of my council on the left, then the Financial Secretary, me, and the past Grand Knight. Some day, I too will have a fuzzy hat and carry a sword.
So, it was a good time, and a very moving ceremony where we learned the last principle of the order (Patriotism); it was also nice to share it with a few of my friends from my own council.
And is it just me, or do Ambrose boys look good in tuxedos?
