"I am inviting the Catholic people of the Diocese of Steubenville to resume the practice of abstaining from meat on all Fridays throughout the year, but with a twist. I am asking that this be not only a penitential practice but also an experience of prayer and service. This can happen by connecting abstinence with our witness to the sacredness of human life."
[Many Catholics continue to abstain despite the NCCB's questionable latitude some 40+ years ago.]

Bishop Skylstad of Spokane announced the "Catholic Climate Covenant", a coalition of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and other Roman Catholic organizations that have pledged to work on the issue.

More Bernanke Lies and Lawlessness: Bear Stearns
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913...permits The Fed to make loans to literally anyone under "unusual and exigent circumstances" (so long as they are fully collateralized) but does not permit, under any circumstances, the acquisition of ownership interest in other than securities guaranteed by the full faith and credit of The United States.
[Bernanke needs to be in prison with the rest of the thives, liars, and frauds!]

The Kenyan Obama Is Raising Taxes—Not Cutting Them
The Obama budget, rather than cutting taxes for 95 percent of working Americans, proposed to increase taxes as a share of the economy in eight out of the next 10 years. And that would raise, not reduce, the tax burden as a share of the economy by more than 25 percent over the coming decade.
The Obama Gestapo in Action
"For you, the future of our nation, to let us know who your parents are. Tell us the names of those who do not support Obama the way that you do. Let us know if your parents own guns, or wish ill will toward the government. Let us know before it is too late for you and too late for your country...."
