Harkening back to one of the shows Dunc and I did last week, today in this article about the latest round of sexual misconduct (which is a PC way of saying “having sex with little boys) allegations against the Catholic Church, I found this:
In a BBC documentary produced last year, a reporter traced the sexual abuse crisis back to the Vatican and to Pope Benedict XVI himself.
According to the report, while Pope Benedict was still Cardinal Raztinger, he authorised a document in 2001, which was then approved by the late Pope John Paul related to crimes of solicitation. The document instructed all bishops to put the interests of the church ahead of those of law enforcement.
So basically Papa Benny along with J.Piddy 2, both conspired, as recently as 2001, to protect Mother Church ahead of their victims.
So don’t tell me “oh that’s all in our past, we’ve all changed now”. Bullshit. The Catholics are dirty and should be shut down. How long are we going to tolerate this kind of behaviour?
I love ya Father Bob, but your mob are rotten to the core at the highest levels.

I’ve been sitting here trying to record the G’Day World promo for 2007 and I can’t do it. I’m trying to summarize what this show is about these days and I really can’t. What the hell *is* it about?
Anyway, it might be better if one of *you* did the promo for me. I can’t do self-promotion. You can either email me a 15 – 30 second clip (please make it hi-res) or you can record it using Odeo.

I just got an email from Jonathan Wrigley, my Apple source! He and Beti, the host of TPN’s Health And Fitness Podcast, are currently in San Francisco attending MacWorld. And they just got engaged! At the top of Coit Tower! My congratulations and best wishes to them both!

The whole Apple iPhone mania spurred me to investigate some more this “multi-touch” screen idea. And I found this video:

Ewan Spence then reminded me that he interviewed the guy behind the video, Jeffrey Han, last year at E-Tech. It’s well worth a listen. I remember blogging about it at the time but I hadn’t seen the video at that stage. This blows me away. It is right out of Minority Report.

Every year since about 1990 I’ve been hearing rumours that Van Halen would be inducted finally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And every year the ceremony seems to go by without their name on the roster. So much so that most of us stopped listening to the rumours a long time ago. Well this year they finally brought home the bacon.
But as the article says, the big question is – who will turn up? The band officially at the moment is Eddie, Alex and Wolfie, Eddie’s son. They hate Dave. They hate Sammy. They hate Mike. Gary? Who knows or cares.
Great to see the band finally get the honour of the Hall of Famers but Eddie has run them so far into the ground, like a 6 year old boy killing a spider with a rock on concrete, that it’s probably too late for them to enjoy it.

Ian’s the host of TPN’s Media Center Podcast and he’s currently at CES in Vegas. And he just got to chat with Bill Gates for the first time. I remember meeting Bill for the first time back in the day. It’s a pretty heady experience if you tell yourself you are standing there chatting with the richest guy in the world and arguably the most successful businessman in history.
