Today's Gospel (Good News, mostly)

JER: Charter School Lottery
A fight over how charter schools select their students and perform against other schools is the focus of a new documentary: "The Lottery."  Plus, special cameo of fake ACORN protesters pretending to be white teachers' unions defending crappy public schools (Chairman Ann)



Now, How About a Good Catholic Story?

“   Daniel Henninger, about how Cristo Rey Catholic schools succeed in preparing thousands of poor and middle class students for college. It's really a feel good story, so don't think you'll be forcibly baptized by watching. ”


Q.  Rodge, is it true that catholic school girls are proscribed from wearing patent leather shoes, because the boys can see up their dresses?
A. Yes, and no.  It's okay, as long as they wear underpants (which cannot be pink, or black).

However, almost every Catholic schoolBOY in my youth wore patent leather shoes.
Actually, that's not true. All's they had to do was ask a Catholic schoolgirl to meet 'em behind the dumpster, then wait for the two girls who were there first to finish.
(What? Yeah, you're right. Too many of the wrong kind of movies.)

The documentary: does it include good ruler-knuckle footage?

Giorgio arrived in Toronto from Italy about six months ago. He walks to work every day up and down St.Clair and passes the same shoe store.

Each day he stops and looks in the window and admires a certain pair of Boccelli leather shoes. After about two months he saves the $300.00 the shoes cost, and he purchases them.

Each Friday night the Italian community gets together at a dance at the church basement, so Giorgio seizes the opportunity to wear his new Boccelli leather shoes to the dance.

He asks Sophia to dance and as they dance he asks her, "Sophia, do you wear red panties tonight?"

Sophia, startled, says "Yes, Giorgio, I do wear red panties tonight, but how do you know?"

Giorgio replies, "I see the reflection in my new $300.00 Boccelli leather shoes, how do you like them?

Next he asks Rosa to dance, and after a few minutes he says to her "Rosa, do you wear white panties tonight?"

Rosa answers, "Yes, Giorgio, I do but how do you know that?"

He answers, "I see the reflection in my new $300.00 Boccelli leather shoes. How do you like them?"

Now the evening is almost over and the last song is being played.! Giorgio asks Carmella to dance. Midway through the dance his face turns red. He says, "Carmella, be stilla my heart, please, please tella me you wear no panties tonight, please, please, tella me this is a true."

Carmella answers, "Yes, yes Giorgio, I wear no panties tonight."

Giorgio gasps and says, "Thanka God... I thought I had a CRACK in my $300.00 Boccelli leather shoes".

Jeebus, Tim, that's a winner.
