Monday Madness — February 4, 2014

Apparently some basketball teams run their own bracket. Thanks to Warren Buffet you can get one billion dollars for correctly completing that other bracket. It’s madness! Because Lent Madness is better than basketball, the prize for flawlessly completing a Lent Madness bracket is also better. Watch this week’s episode of Monday Madness (Tuesday Edition) to […]

Madness Comes to Cyber Monday

At Lent Madness, we know a few things about Mondays. After all, we crank out brilliant new episodes of Monday Madness every week during the Lent Madness high season (aka Lent).

Monthly Madness: Purple Friday Doorbuster Special

Despite our belief that Lent Madness mugs will be the salvation of the church, The Supreme Executive Committee deplores crass commercialization.

If you’ve spent any time on Facebook or Twitter this month, your feed is clogged with cat photos, political outrage, and one more thing that’s equally insidious. #30daysofgratitude is all the rage. People say what they’re grateful for. Ad nauseum. The SEC is pro-Thanksgiving. That’s why we’re going to eat a big feast on Thanksgiving […]

An All Saints’ Dance!

The Supreme Executive Committee wishes to extend a Happy All Saints’ Day greeting to you and yours. Of course, for people in the know, this day is really The Feast of Golden Halo Winners and Their Companions. We managed to get some video of George Herbert, C. S. Lewis, Mary Magdalene, and Frances Perkins enjoying […]
