And if that annoys anyone, that’s too bad. Seems increasingly like all the “Fascist Bush” caterwauling was the usual fake, dishonest theater meant as a means to an end - the end being to destroy the hated “election stealer” and his legacy, and not much more. But you kno...

In my piece for Pajamas Media, I said that basically, the meeting between The Pope and The Pelosi would produce no fireworks, and that “…the impact of this meeting may not be felt until it has been forgotten.” Well. Not quite. The Vatican - clearly as aware as Pelosi of the power o...

He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more...

Actually, the Linkfest will be coming up, but I had to share Chris Muir’s great cartoon, (H/T Amused Cynic): Oh, come on, laugh! If you’re not allowed to laugh at your president, then you’re already not free! Check back for lots of links! Today will be a “day of continual lin...

Got an email from someone today wondering why I did not write about Candlemas. Feb 2 is actually one of my very favorite feast days, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, (if I’d ever become a nun I’d have been Sr. Mary Whatever of the Presentation of the Christ) and I would write s...

Charles Krauthammer gets it exactly right in this piece: In these most recent 20 years — the alleged winter of our disrespect of the Islamic world — America did not just respect Muslims, it bled for them. It engaged in five military campaigns, every one of which involved — and resu...

This is a nice video; it’s kind of refreshing to see Bush get the good reception he deserves, even if it’s only in Waco, Texas, but look at him! Yes, he looks relaxed, but it’s tinged with exhaustion - the way you look when you’re just a few days into your vacation, and your ...

Or, more properly, you and I may be wandering around the house in sweaters, but President Obama can turn up the heat. Just days after calling DC folk wimps for not being able to handle a little snow, and just months after proclaiming his 43 word manifesto, we read a glowing article about President O...

Yes, I do. I miss Bill Clinton. You know how bad this stimulus forever socialist bill and Obama/Pelosi’s overall grandiose-ness is? This bad: It’s making me miss Bill. I miss Bill, and I miss George W. Bush. I even miss George H.W. Bush, who I came to appreciate too late. By that what I ...
