Lino's Proclamation of Greatness

Lino already posted a photo of it, but we'll save you the eye strain and repeat the text here for easier viewing:
WHEREAS, Lino Rulli was born and raised in the Twin Cities and won three Emmy awards while living and working in Minneapolis; and

WHEREAS, at his alma mater, Hill Murray High School, Rulli lettered in theater all four years and has the letterman jacket to prove it; and

WHEREAS, Rulli failed to get a single date after Minnesota Monthly named him one of Minnesota's most eligible bachelors; and

WHEREAS, people all over North America listen to rulli, "The Catholic Guy", on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio; and

WHEREAS, The New York Times said Rulli's show "achieves the queasy unpredictability of the Howard Stern Show"; and

WHEREAS, Rulli has, on three occasions, broadcast from the hallowed studios of Vatican Radio; that's three more than any other American radio show in history; and

WHEREAS, because of Rulli, big-nosed children around the world can now aspire to mediocre careers in broadcasting; and

WHEREAS, Rulli is insecure and really needs this proclamation to feel good about himself.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, R.T. RYBAK, Mayor of the City of Minneapolis do hereby proclaim September 29, 2010 as:


LINO RULLI DAY IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

Another original composition by Mama Rulli

As heard on today's TCGS, here are the lyrics to the original Gina Rulli composition That's Our Lino (sung to the tune of That's Amore):

When at home or on the go, listen to the Catholic Guy Show...
That's our Lino!
Where you learn more about God through your computer or iPod...
That's our Lino!

He helps you pray when you want to say
That your life needs some saving!
He makes you think you are on the blink
For some grace you are craving...
Start behaving!

When you hear what is good and do things like you should...
That's our Lino! (That's our Lino!)
When you grow with the Lord, and in religion you're not bored...
That's our guy!

So stay tuned on these days as he gets a little praise...
For Lino Rulli Day,
In Minneapolis and St. Paul where it started for us all...
And for Lino!

Our own Lino!
Catholic Guy Lino!
