This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Think I heard either greatest or worst reading ever at Mass by Frank Drebin
Went to Saturday vigil Mass this past weekend. The parish deacon is a 71 year old retired plumber, named Tony, who needs stronger reading glasses. During the reading of The Gospel, he lost his place and was unable to find it again so he just ad libed: “and Jesus said to the crowd - “hey, cut that crap out”. Tony then sat down
The pastor then got up for the sermon and simply said that Tony has just summed up 2000 years of the work of some of the greatest Catholic theological minds trying to analyze Christ’s mission and message on earth with that simple line of “hey, cut that crap out”. The pastor then sat down.
