...And So, Holy Week Begins

On Palm Sunday Pope Benedict the Sixteenth started holy week. Yet, the ceremonies were overshadowed by the allegations of him knowing about sexual abuse cases by different priests, but not reporting it. Pope Benedict has not spoken about the allegations directly but, during a prayer he advised the people not to listen to the petty gossip of publicly favored opinion.


On the other side the Vatican has commented, and they claim that the Pope new nothing of the petifile priests.

Russia in Mourning, 38 lost many more wounded

On Monday morning at 7:56 the first of two terrorist attacks had succeeded in Moscow at one of the deepest subway stations in the world. Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up in the 2 separate stations; one in Lubayanka Station, the other in Park Kultury. In all toll 39 people died and many more were injured. The furious Russian president Dmitry Medvedev vowed to his people that, those responsible for the attack would pay the most heavy price for there actions. Yet, the people are doubtful because such promises have been made before, but they have not been kept.


Officials say that trains and subway stations are easy targets for terrorists. This is because of the heavy foot traffic, the lack of security, and no metal detectors. Just a few months back Naji Bubullah Zazi was caught in a plot to do the same thing to an American subway, but luckily he was caught.

Some people say that Russia is lucky that it was not as catastrophic as September 11, 2001. But, those people have not taken into account that all of those people were mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, cousins, fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or brothers. And, as we know, when a loved one dies naturally we are crushed but, if your loved one dies in a sick re-meditated murder that it completely and totally destroys you. So, if you pray keep Russia in your prayers, and especially keep them in your thoughts.

Final Days for the Final Four

After this last weekend we learned that our final four for this years March Madness basketball tournament. Duke, West Virginia, Michigan St, and last but certainly not least, Butler; are going to “duke” it out on Saturday. We, the fans, will devotedly watch to see who will be the two teams skilled enough to make it to the finals. We will see that game air on Monday.


I think it is needed to be pointed out that, that weather man/TV personality, Dave Price seemed a little less peppy than his usual self on Monday morning early news. Price sporting an orange tie mentioned that even though the Butler Bulldogs have a heartwarming story, that he was very disappointed that Syracuse lost. So for few hours we will be taking a poll to see who the readers think will be the champion for March 2010. Even if you don’t fallow basketball; vote for the team with the cutest guys, or the coolest mascot.
