Google Fun

I had someone who was upset about me posting pro-Terri Schiavo records harass me over e-mail. He (I guess I assumed it is a he) was particularly proud finding such great information on the elusive John Bambenek over the web. This amused me, but we’ll skip past that.

I decided to google bambenek to see what was out there. Of course, there are the misc. references to Bambi Bambenek who apparently is currently suing Dr. Phil. As an aside, people think it’s horribly clever to call me Bambi as if it was something I haven’t heard since I’ve been 4. Once this Bambi woman allegedly offed her husband’s ex-wife (or whatever) strangely people stopped calling me Bambi for awhile. Go figure.

Apperently there is a Liza Bambenek that is a photographer. From what I know, there are three distinct Bambenek families, and apparently they all have most of their roots planted in some town, Winona, MN that in a weird twist of fate, when I was thinking about going to seminary, I learned that the Diocese of Peoria sends their undergrad seminarians to a school in Winona.

Rove Bootlegged Fagrenheit 9/11

From Byron York at National Review:

“I plead guilty to violating the copyright laws of the United States by watching a bootleg DVD,” Rove answered with a grin. “I refuse to enrich [Moore],” he added, giving the clear impression that he had a rather low opinion of the filmmaker.

Awesome.

On Passing Debt to Children

I should stop reading the news, it’s not like the talk about anything important and all I hear is Dem carps of the day. Then I read this:

Dean said that passing on debt to children was a Republican value that Democrats didn’t share. He said that it’s not a Democratic value to get in new ethics trouble every two or three days, which has been the rate lately for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Just a quick question, Mr. Dean. If Democratics values don’t include passing on debt to children, why do you continue to prop up a regressive tax burden on the children to pay for Social Security that they will never get? When you have a system where the working pay the retired, is that not, in effect, burdening children with the debt of a near-bankrupt system?
