One of the surefire ways to spot spam is by how much the spam bot sucks up to you and tells you how awesome you are. The problem is a lot of spambots are programmed by people for whom English is not exactly the strong suit. Case in point: “Glad to be 1 of several visitants on this awful site : D.” I’m confident that somebody will eventually inform my spammer of the subtle difference between “awful” and “awesome”. Meanwhile,... Read more

Yesterday we prayed for a friend of my daughter-in-law whose grandpa was being taken off a breather. She writes today: Three weeks after his 90th birthday, Grumps is still in the hospital but OFF life support and breathing on his own! He even yelled at my grandmother this evening 😉 Thank you all for your positive and comforting thoughts and support. Not sure what’s going to happen now, but I’m glad to have at least few more days with my... Read more

Meanwhile, other headlines in the Furor That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen include Archbishop: Obama Needs To Stop ‘Intruding Into Internal Life Of Church’… Catholic nun pleads with Biden to ‘fix’ contraception ruling… Top Republican... Read more

A reader writes: Pray for Alina and Simon to pass the interview for the post of Cadent Sergeant to be a policewomen and a policeman. Please pray for them to be the successful candidate among the others. Pray for them to be called to start the training. The interview is on the13/2/2012. Please... Read more

Hurray for Boehner! Every ally in this struggle is welcome. The sad thing, of course, is that the piece of legislation called the First Amendment is no longer sufficient to oppose this draconian tyranny from our Masters and Civilizers. Meanwhile, Obama is digging in and trying to get Dems in Congress to join him in the bunker. My hope is that vulnerable Dems will chicken out at the thought of gratuitously kicking their Catholic constituents in the face for the... Read more

Newsweek, of all places, talking about oppression of Christians in the Islamosphere. Cue Manning’s Corollary* in 3, 2, 1. *Manning’s Corollary to Godwin’s Law: In any online conversation about an incident of violence perpetrated by adherents of Islamic fundamentalism, the conversation will inevitably devolve into claims that Christians commit the same type and degree of violent acts, regardless of how demonstrably false that is; further, the claim will be made that past historical violence involving Christians means that present-day Christians... Read more
