Thanks to March Hare, this shot of Derek Jeter riding in the All Star Parade, and bringing Mom and Dad along for the ride. A good boy who loves his mother and father. I’m just middle-aged enough to adore him for it! Read more

Read. Enlightening. And apparently uninteresting to the increasingly incurious press. Read more
Mark Shea writes on the media and it’s perceptions on Benedict: Two years ago, the mainstream media gathered in a special conclave in Rome to discuss the disastrous election to the papacy of Ratzinger the Enforcer, God’s Rottweiler, the hardliner, inflexible, rigid, etc., blah blah. Some of us suggested to our television screens that the talking heads might want to wait more than a few seconds before doing the autopsy on the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. […] …when you...

Yes, I KNEW I’d seen this damn movie before! Instapundit links to this article, and writes: SHE HSU’D HAVE KNOWN BETTER”: “Hillary Clinton claims ignorance over Norman Hsu’s dirty money. But she was right in the middle of a nearly identical fundraising scandal a decade ago. In fact, she was briefed about the prior scandal by an aide who’s advising her today.” From the editorial: Rewind to 1996, when Hillary headed her husband’s legal defense fund during his re-election bid....

I was struck to read this piece from Richard Cohen, a good writer who is by no means a “wingnut conservative,” passionately taking on the MoveOn.org ad from last week. The ad managed to smear Gen. David Petraeus, show us what a few presidential candidates are made of, and apparently give America its first hard look at an organization which pours enormous money into Democrat coffers, and for that reason nearly owns leading Democrats. Cohen writes and leaves a mark:... Read more
I’m looking for a piece the late – and much missed – Michael Kelly wrote for the New York Times Sunday Magazine May 23, 1993. It was entitled Saint Hillary, and was apparently much-remarked about, much written-about in its day. Can’t seem to come up with it on the search engines and it is not in Nexis-Lexis. While letters to the paper about the article may be found, it doesn’t seem to be in the NY Times archives, which is... Read more
I don’t get it. I’m watching the Yankees/Bosox game on ESPN. Derek Jeter hit a monster three-run homer – way over the wall, something you just don’t see enough in Fenway Park. So far ESPN has shown the homerun twice more…and both times, they showed the DUGOUT reaction, instead of the soaring home run every fan of baseball (well, except a Bosox fan) would want to see again. I can see doing that once. But twice? Showing the team cheering... Read more
Given the responses I got the last time I focused on this issue, I almost hate to bring it up…but here goes. I think Tony Snow is exactly right when he says here: “I deeply admire what [Mr. Bush] did on immigration and I think he’s right,” Mr. Snow said. “I think the policies the president outlined generally are the ones that eventually this country is going to adopt.” Let us hope so, because the alternative “solutions” out there –...

Driving today I heard a report on NPR that Norman Hsu was also a substantial donor to the Clinton Global Initiative. Yes, I was surprised to hear about it on NPR, too. Hsu also gave a hefty donation to the Clinton School of Public Service, which they are returning. But my! Hsu certainly spread it around all the little avenues of Clintonville very quickly – and thoroughly. From Instapundit: HSU LOVES YOU, BABY? When Bill Clinton received an award at... Read more
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; 34 and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is destined to be the rise and the fall of many in Israel, and a sign that is spoken against 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.” The Gospel According to Luke, Chapter 2 Today’s gospel reading at Mass...
