Blogger Free Speech, Humanae Vitae – UPDATE

June 30, 2008 By

:::UPDATE::: A blogger who is rebuilding finds his Obama-critical posts uncached and unrecoverable. Hmmmmm…:::END UPDATE::: So, these Obama True-Believers are an insecure bunch. It seems to me if you are confident in your candidate, you don’t need to run around doing all you can to silence opposition by shutting down blogs that dare to dislike [...]

Sally Quinn: A tribute too far? – UPDATE

June 27, 2008 By

Of all the tribute written by journalists about their friend, Tim Russert, a few have been standouts; Jon Meacham’s piece in Newsweek was onesuch. In her column, “On Faith” Sally Quinn writes another excellent, heartfelt tribute about the fullness of the man, Tim Russert, and how his faith, joyfully confessed throughout his being, completed that [...]

Madonna, DV Code and Milk & Honey

May 25, 2006 By

I’ve had some emails wondering, “Anchoress, how come you’re not writing much about The DaVinci Code? How come you’re not outraged about Madonna’s latest provocation?” Well…actually, I have written – or more correctly I’ve linked to Amy Welborn’s writing – about the DaVinci fraud and I mentioned the pathetic Madonna here.
