see it here http://www.catholicvote.com/ it is good, I promise

NBC has rejected a pro-life ad for the Super Bowl, citing its policy not to run ads involving “political advocacy or issues.”

The 30-second television spot, a project of CatholicVote.org and financed by The Fidelis Center for Law & Policy, actually emerged just before the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Brian Burch, president of CatholicVote.org, explains there is nothing objectionable in its “life-affirming” message, which features ultrasound pictures of a baby in a mother’s womb.

dented cans

January 30, 2009 · by Penny · 2 Comments

We went to our local market last night to grab a couple things after church and decided to get a couple cans tomato sauce to make chili. We usually get the big gallon can size. Well last night they were all dented, every one of them. I know this store and the owners and the cans looked ok so we got a couple anyway. When we got to the check out I asked the girl if they give a discount for dented cans. Guess what? I got then half price! My only mistake was not being smart enough to go get the rest. A gallon of tomato sauce for $1.69 is a very good deal.
