Why "the recession is over."

May 6, 2009 By

Yesterday, President Obama and Joe Biden went out and grabbed a burger in a bit of “we’re just normal guys” political theater, a replay of what we saw back in 2004, when John Kerry and John Edwards went to Wendy’s. A breathless press told us this was part and parcel of Ben Bernanke’s statement that, [...]

"Make it stop…"

May 5, 2009 By

If you have never seen it, and I am betting you have not, do yourself a favor and rent a copy of Big Trouble. Released too soon after 9/11-when America had no patience for stories with naked cops running through airports while nuclear suitcases were being smuggled through airport security (“it’s a garbage disposal…”)-the film [...]

Boy, I don’t like that header, and hope it won’t come to that, but who knows anymore? I really did not want to get back into politics so soon – I have other things on my mind – but I’ll just throw these out and you guys make your own stew. Item: Gov. Rick Perry [...]

If this is correct, liberty is almost gone -UPDATED

April 4, 2009 By

I am going to look around more before commenting further, but if this is correct then we’re looking at something very bad, indeed. …the democratically lead Congress has proposed the “Pay for Performance Act” which passed Thursday with even some Republican Congressman voted for it. … The scariest part of the bill is that while [...]

A Recovery Party? Random Chills, Thrills & Myths

March 27, 2009 By

Comrades, it’s difficult to keep up, but the mandatory service requirement requires that you try. The oxymoronic thing passed in the Senate. It passed by a healthy margin. Yesterday a thoughtful young 24 year old whom I have known since he was about 10 or 11 sent along this piece about California regulating car colors, [...]

Saintly Relics, Babylon & Nimrod

March 25, 2009 By

As a Benedictine Oblate, it was with great joy that I read this article on the discovery of ancient relics, including one of our Holy Father, St. Benedict: The new medieval gallery at the British Museum is full of beautiful images of saints in ivory, stone, gold and wood – but invisible to visitors, it [...]

Obama & Co Theater: Chaos & Cajolery UPDATED

March 18, 2009 By

Okay, so…60 days into this new presidency, it looks to me like we’re going to spend the next four years watching a non-stop play of infinite acts. With none of the wit or wisdom of Pride & Prejudice, Obama and Company are going to treat us to Chaos & Cajolery. Basically, the theater production is [...]
