Amazing. Just since my last post (3 minutes ago) I checked again and the editors have CHANGED the statement on Wiki.

Now it's a "sworn statement" they've made than Einhorn was not involved.

LOL. Looks like somebody's taking some heat today.

I have not seen any Earth Day celebration anywhere this year or recently.

Where exactly (in real life not the web) are people celebrating it? I live in Chicago and there are plenty of libs around, but no Earth worshipping public festivities.

Is it big on campus or something?

Good catch!!

I’m sure that a lot of people are looking up Einhorn today. Problem with the Internet is that it can be like a giant poster board of tabloid newspaper covers one finds at the grocery store checkout, only people believe it because it’s on an online “encyclopedia”.

I tell me students (college) on the first day, NO WIKIPEDIA!! And I then explain to them the difference between consensus and fact. I HATE wikipedia

You should have walked out of the Homily. It’s not one of the required three main parts of the Holy Mass and anti-Christian at that.

...Einhorn's claim...

I could be mistaken, but I don't recall an active disassociation until he was returned to the US to await a trial without fear of the DP.

Until then, he was considered an anti-establishment hero by the loonies.

He foreshadowed what a boob Specter was to be.

I don’t walk too well these days, and I was in the front row. I figured that it was better to pray for the repose of the soul of Holly Maddux. But, I considered it. 25 years ago I’d have done it.

The newspaper today in Milwuakee is filled with tributes to Earth Day. Perhaps it is because that now that Ira Einhorn is ensconsed in jail, the writers tend to credit former Wisconsin Governor, Gaylord Nelson, as the creator of Earth Day.

Yes. Fr. Veik displayed a basket of packages of Pot Pourri made of recycled materials that handicapped people sponsored by his Capuchin Order (a Franciscan Order) had put together. The various scents were called Brother Sun, Sister Water, etc. At one point he asked, rhetorically, if he sounded like a salesman as he explained how good it was that these handicapped people could embark on this project where they could turn over their earnings to people less advantaged than they?

My head was exploding, but I was nodding 'yes' vigorously, much to the chagrin of those seated behind me, I'm sure.

I don't know if he wanted us to purchase this pot pourri after Mass, or not. I didn't stick around to find out. I had to get out of there before I embarrassed myself. I think a letter is in order.

Yuk, that just sounds like an AWFUL sermon.

Hope you get better ones there once in a while.
