Sky Lanterns--World record

This ain't funny or technically cultural but it is cool! It shows the power of people co-operating to produce the good and the beautiful. We can see it as prays flying up to heaven and how beautiful it is for a country to praise God in unison.



Romania established a new world record by launching 12,740 sky lanterns at the same time, June 4, 2012 in Iasi, outside the Palace of Culture. The event was organized by the developers of the Palas multi-functional center, which recently opened.

The record was ratified by the Guinness World Records representative Anna Orford. The city of Iasi beat the record held by India, with 900 sky lanterns launched at the same time. Over 30,000 people attended the event during the week-end.

Sky lanterns, also known as Chinese lanterns are airborne paper lanterns traditional in some Asian cultures.

Good Clean Fun

A man I know was in contact with Jimmy Brogan years ago about 2001. Brogan was a professional comedian for years and said he just got tired of the constant raunchy humor. So he branch out to be the "clean comedian". He does Church fundraisers and KofC halls.He is a humble man that seeks to help a troubled world the only  way he knows how. Brogan gives full credit to his faith -- both in keeping him grounded amid the madness of show business and in defining his point of view so thoroughly he named his website www.thecatholiccomedian.com.

Jimmy Brogan is a proud graduate of St. Ann's Grade School, St. Ignatius High School and the University of Notre Dame.
He has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson as well as Late Night with David Letterman.

"My act is all clean and appropriate for church events. I did an event downtown at the Cathedral last year" in Los Angeles, says Brogan. "It's not that I was doing all Catholic jokes, but they were appropriate for that kind of audience. I do benefits, and did one in Long Beach where a thousand priests and nuns were there, and they loved that not one of them had to worry about being offended."

His style was formed in the Catholic schoolyard. He was the wiseguy geek who learned a quick wit can be an asset. No one works a crowed like him.

Newt is a fake Catholic. I hope I am wrong but it seems like he really doesn't know the Faith very well. He said "Life begins at implantation" WHAT?? LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION!!!!! Newt if you can't get that right what can you?

God's Job?

Lighten up :) This is done in fun. Colbert was abused as a child for being the only Catholic in an evangelical Bible belt community. He is old school Catholic--mainly cultural, because he is Irish decent. When he did his Christmas special he insisted it couldn't be blasphemous. He is in character and is speaking with absurdity, so don't judge him too harshly.
