It can't possibly get any more ridiculous... can it?

Fresh off the heals of receiving permission to reprint articles from the VIS (official Press Office of the Holy See), the Pope Blog has been named site of the week by CathNews. Notice they got my name right!

Your best buddy,

Boney

FEATURED CATHOLIC WEB SITE

The Pope Blog - thepopeblog.blogspot.com/
At risk of this issue of CathNews sparking a severe outbreak of popolatry in the community, we bring you news of The Pope Blog. (We actually chose this site review some days ago not knowing today's news would have two major stories from the Pope.) It describes itself as 'unofficial news and information about His Holiness, Pope John Paul II' and is put together by Boney [I bolded 'Boney', not them - Ed.]. Tastefully done and reasonably up-to-date, it is a useful blogsite if you want to quickly find out some of the major issues being discussed by the Pope. Includes helpful links on the front page to other Pope sites.

The Pope Blog update

For all of you who laughed at the Pope Blog, I would like to update you on its status.

1.) The Pope Blog has received an average of 200 unique visitors per day since it was started last Monday.

2.) The following is an excerpt from an email I received from the Holy See Press Office (VIS - Vatican Information Service)

Dear Andy:

VIS is glad to be a source of information in your publication http://thepopeblog.blogspot.com ...

VIS is the only Holy See Press Office bulletin transmitted via e-mail. It covers a synthesis of the Holy Father speeches and activities, Holy See Press Office press releases, activities of the Curia Romana, audiences, etc...

Thank you very much again for your interest.

Looking forward to having news from you soon.

The VIS team wish you an excellent day,

José-Miguel Chavarría

The URFC

Rich, you bastard, I hope you read this post. There is way too much pro-Rich stuff being posted lately. Can we just change the name of this PoS Blog to "The Unofficial Rich Fan Club" already?

Oh, and I hope you choke on a chicken bone at dinner tonight.

Your friend,

Boney

Vote 'NO' On Issue Rich

This advertisement was paid for by the Reform Party of the USA.

Special Election

Proposition 1: Rich Admission Act of 2004

Proponent: Holly Pavlick

Grants James Richard McIver full membership to the Loyal Order of Groundhog (LOG) as well as full posting rights to LOGblog: The Blog for LOG.

Vote yes or no.

Richgate

At long last, we are on the eve of the Death of LOG. I predicted long ago that the return of The-Third-Who-Is-Named-James would rip apart the seams of our noble fellowship, or at the least transform its nature irrevocably. Now let us discuss the pros and cons of entering a Seventh into the Loyal Order of Groundhog. The LOG Blog is nothing if not a public forum to discuss a person's foibles.

I'll start:

PRO - A seventh member may provide opposition to the Committee's tyrannical reign.

CON - Rich is on the Crew team and you all know my feelings on that.

PRO - There is a remote chance he MIGHT post something halfway interesting sometime.

CON - The letterhead up top would go onto the second line again.

CON - LOG would be heavily concentrated in Tex-as.

CON - Do we even know this is Rich? This could just be Holly weaseling her way into a second username.

CON - Rich is neither a member of LOB nor of Jimandi Corp. Where does he fit in?

CON - Rich is always making anti-semitic jokes.

PRO - Rich tells funny jokes.

PRO - He does meet the height requirement to be in the Swiss Guard (Rich, have you seen the Pope Blog?)

CON - He is a Hassidic.

CON - He thinks Harvard is cool.

What does everyone else think?

So what's this LOG thing I keep hearing about?

I'd like to lobby that we put up a second picture under the one on the right - one that has me and debbie in it. after all we are full members of LOG. I am sick and tired of jimbo and natalie prancing around like they run the place, ooh look at us, the committee, we're so cool and ao sexy.well i have news for you: SEO and kansas are sexy too!!! let's stop all these divisive politics and put a new pic up with all six of us, ok? I don't know what I ever did to you two to deserve this, unless it was talking bad about you behind your back all the time, or maybe the time i stole 20 dollars from natalie's purse and peed on jimbo's pillow. i say let bygones be bygones.

Oh and also, John E. is too bashful to brag about it, but the other day he was playing basketball with a regulation height hoop and he made a backwards slam dunk. Nice Work John E.

to recap: Boney requests new pic with the entire 6, Johnny's black.

Warm Regards,

Boney
