George Bush visited several Latin American countries last week for bilateral negotiations. The trip, his eighth to the region since his presidency began, is in part an attempt to counter growing antagonism towards the United States.

Several issues were discussed during the visit, including the drug trade, the need to counter poverty, the use of alternative fuels, and the growing anti-Americanism in the region. Bush’s visit was greeted with deep antagonism and a general lack of excitement, as several countries in the region are increasingly setting their own agendas outside of the sphere of American influence.

It’s Monday morning. Correction, Monday afternoon. The tips of my fingernails are non-existent, my brain is longing for caffeine, and my stomach is reminding me that I have not eaten since last night. My eyes gloss over as I stare at my computer screen, and curse the blinking cursor. It is the last day of production weekend. The newspaper you are holding in your hands is almost complete—complete except the article that I am currently writing.

One of my writerly friends was often fond of saying that the writing process could be likened to trying to extract water from a stone. I certianly am not Moses.

Eight years ago, a unique partnership began between Catholic Redeemer Pacific College and Evangelical Trinity Western University that established a new paradigm for Christian higher education. For the first time ever, a Roman Catholic college became an official teaching centre of an Evangelical university.

Since its beginning in 1999, RPC has brought Catholic students from around the world to study in a house across the river from TWU. These students study at both RPC and TWU, earning a degree from TWU in any area of study, while still retaining Catholic education. Currently, there are roughly 60 RPC students working towards degrees from TWU.

CCR TIMELINE

Part 1 - The Origin: The good Dr. Malleus Mimms gets in a terrible car crash that leaves him crippled and bitter. He plans to build a robot body that will allow him to destroy the earth.

Part 2 - Pon (Mimm’s lab assistant) begins the transferring process but a police task force explodes the lab and fills Pon with bullet holes. CCR rises from the ashes and murders the task force.

Part 3 - CCR meets a crazy hobo who introduces himself as Norton Von Eeten Peterson. CCR transforms the hobo into a monster, then kills him. CCR finds a D-Force badge on the dead hobo. He gets dizzy and passes out.

The recent launch of a wiki-based encyclopedia, called Conservapedia, is claiming to offer the “true” account of history and knowledge according to a conservative Christian worldview. Although this website has already drawn the attention of much critical scorn and mockery, it has continued to propagate its own spin by offering “concise, clean answers” free of “political correctness.”

In the article entitled “What Would Jesus Wiki?” posted on Wired News, the project leader of Conservapedia, Andy Schlafly, asserts that because Wikipedia does not poll the beliefs and views of its editors, “they make no effort to retain balance. It ends up having all the neutrality of a lynch mob.”
