Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
met on June 14 (Feast Day of I’m Pretty Sure One Day St. G.K. Chesterton) to drink home-brewed ale and eat a bunch of stuff and have a wonderful time. It was in Illinois someplace and nobody bought my airfare so I could come. So they had their stupid dumb party without me. But that’s [...]
Here they are in a TV special from 1959, being awesome: This only proves once again that God invented whiskey so we Irish would not rule the world.
…on their stupid backward Catholic schools. Meanwhile, President Nobel Peace Prize Winner gears up to arm the people who attacked us on 9/11, but in Syria, so it’s okay. And all while spying on us and seriously creeping out an ultimately pliant and cowardly news media that, for the most part, seems to be bending [...]
President defends domestic NSA program as ‘transparent’… I’m no ‘Dick Cheney’… The first lie is the biggest one; the second lie is the funniest. It’s true you’re no Dick Cheney, Obama. The truth is, you’re worse, and that takes some doing. Is this man capable of taking *any* responsibility for what he does? Does every [...]

There were some goodies on FB: “What a wonderful smell you’ve discovered!” “Into the garbage chute, flyboy!” “TK-421, why aren’t you at your post?” I thought I was a major genius for contributing, “Jabba has no use for pilots who dump their cargo at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.” But the one that [...]
Adventures in cowardice: A San Diego domestic abuse victim is now out of a job after she was fired following a “domestic violence dispute” with her ex-husband. NBC San Diego reports that Carie Charlesworth, a second-grade teacher at Holy Trinity School, was placed on indefinite leave and then let go because school officials feared her [...]
Jimmy Akin found a very moving video of a little talk by JMS on the courage of Jeff Conaway, Andreas Katsoulas, and, in particular, Michael O’Hare. Eternal rest, grant them (and Richard Biggs), O Lord. I can’t help but like JMS. As Christ-haunted an atheist as I’ve ever seen, and with a deep love for [...]
