Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
He writes: Hello Mark, It has been a pleasure reading your blog for some time now, and also wonderful knowing you are a fellow Chestertonian! I am one of the initial members of the newly formed Central Florida Chesterton Society. I need some advice, and perhaps a boost. I do have the time and opportunity [...]

Chesterton Would Have Loved are under discussion over at the Register.
I find this both funny and disturbing in some unnameable way. But I appreciate Paul Nowack’s good faith effort. I’m told we will be heading to Hollywood to ADR the sound on the film pretty soon. Still slated for a premiere at the American Chesterton Society meeting this August. Go here for details about that. [...]
…and so only got to this today. Leah Libresco, my favorite atheist, writes: I ended up doing a bit for my blog that was more about how to have a productive discussion/ask questions when something looks like sexist practice, but we don’t know for sure yet. You were my good example. I noticed a number [...]
