I’m behind in my news… but a couple of things really stood out yesterday and this weekend.

First of all, the news that the Pope is apologetic for his comments is baffling to me. The basis of Catholic hierarchy depends on the Pope’s infallibility. If he ‘regrets’ his comments, they were mistakenly made, which makes the Pope’s infallibility a fallacy.

UPDATE: Many are saying that the Pope is apologizing too much for his comments…

Last weekend was the DC Labor Film Fest at the AFI, in celebration of Labor Day. They showed ‘Office Space’ on the big screen, and gave out shirts, pieces of flare, Initech mugs and mouse pads. Labor is a celebrated idea in this country… One of the buildings along the Metro has been branded: “Unions: The Folks Who Brought You the Weekend.” It’s fabulous stuff. How well do you know the history of the Labor Movement?

This weekend, a fabulous Op-Ed showed up in the Washington Post. It discussed the danger of the post-Putin Russia. If anyone bothered to notice, things are getting a little more communistic than it’s been in the past few years.

Alabama native Charles Barkley is spouting at the mouth again… and it seems he’s losing his republican ways, or so he says.

Finally, if you missed it last night, former President Bill Clinton appeared on the Daily Show, and gave props to his newest initiative as an ex-president. I become more and more impressed with Clinton the longer he’s out of office. He was a great president, and is now showing the world even more that he knows his stuff.
