Weekend Update - August 16th
- The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued a detailed list of inappropriate behaviors for priests, saying they should not kiss, tickle or wrestle children. The archdiocese's Decree on Child Protection also prohibits bear hugs, lap-sitting and piggyback rides. But it says priests may still shake children's hands, pat them on the back and give high-fives. Here's the creepiest list you'll ever read, I promise. Of course, it's reported by Mark Morford.
- Ohmygawd. Welcome to the world we now live in, where PRAVDA calls the American President out for his "audacity." Hey, didn't we invent the phrase "shock and awe?" This is so embarrassing.
- In 2004, the false or unproven anti-Kerry charges -- probed rather belatedly by the media -- may have cost him the White House. This week, the press does not repeat that performance in covering a new anti-Obama broadside. Swiftboating, are we getting better, or are we just ashamed of ourselves?
- Ray McGovern writes a "Dear Colin" letter to Colin Powell. It's pretty good.
- Just when you began to think it couldn't get any more bizarre: Singer/Songwriter Jackson Browne Files Suit Against Republican Presidential Candidate Senator John McCain and the Republican Party for Copyright Infringement and False Endorsement. Someone get me a drink...
- Someone please explain to me the Right's pride in being ignorant. I understand rednecks and their pursuit of stupidity, but for an entire political party to base the future of America upon how uneducated our populace can be is frightening. It's been going on for an entire decade. It's the "dumbing down of America." And it's working.

"Get A Brain Morans?"
You gotta problem with the Irish brotherhood Mala Sombrero? You trying to pick a fight here estupidez?
Moran (Irish: Ó Móráin) is a modern Irish surname and derived from member ship of a medieval dynastic sept. The name means a descendent of Mórán, translated as Great One. Morans were a respected sept of the Uí Fiachrach dynasty in the western counties of Mayo and Sligo. In Ireland, where the name descended from the Gaelic, it is generally pronounced (phonetically) "more-in", an anglicized approximate of the Irish pronunciation. Elsewhere, pronunciation follows the French surname, Mo rant, anglicized to (phonetically) "more-anne".[1]
The majority bearers of this surname in Co. Mayo are descended from the Ó Móráin sept whose ancient kingdom was in north Mayo, surrounding the modern town of Ballina. Following the Norman invasion their territory was usurped by the Barretts and Burkes and the sept lost its central organisation. The modern distribution of the surname within Mayo suggests that the Morans spread southwards and today are chiefly found in the central area of the county, particularly in the barony of Carra.
Ah...thanks, I guess. I know a Earl Moran, retired bus driver. Hell of a guy. I don't know anything about all the stuff you forwarded on to us, but I do know Earl would be proud of you for standing up for the Morans, everywhere.
Gawdluvya....
