…and points out some facts that we are constantly instructed to disregard concerning Global Warming/Climate Change/Global Climate Disruption. I particularly enjoyed this: But never fear: weather is not climate! (Except when it is: cf. Katrina, Irene, Texas drought, etc.) Yes. I’ve noticed that too. Whenever the weather is bad and warm (i.e., Katrina), we are instructed that this is proof of climate change. Whenever it is bad and cold, we are told “Weather is not climate”. Read more

Here’s a curious incident that telegraphs a lot. Frank Weathers reposted a fun little squib he wrote a while back about praying for Dracula. Not the fictional vampire, the real guy: Vlad Tsepes. His point was simply that part of the good news of being Catholic is that just because somebody’s dead or has a reputation for horrendous evil doesn’t mean we are helpless or have to despair for their soul. We can still pray for them. A perfectly Catholic... Read more

Just got word that the last of my wife’s parent’s generation died today. Norm Humiston, the twin brother of Neal Humiston (my father-in-law) died today down in Texas. My sweetie, Janet, who has a great big giant heart, is grieving at the loss and we would appreciate your prayers. I will be heading off to the All Souls Mass at Blessed Sacrament soon and will remember him before the altar there. Your prayers for him and for my sweetie would... Read more

has two fine offerings: 1. Some commentary on the Gay Brownshirts who choose to trample orphans in their more urgent haste to smash Catholic conscience (be sure to see the conversation with the Randian pagan styling himself “Sean the Sorcerer” writing from his mom’s basement in the comboxes); and 2. A short piece of fiction in honor of Halloween. Read more

We all appreciate it very much! Now I’m asking for you and your readers’ prayers for my health. I have neurological damage which effects my sensory nerves- I often feel tired, soreness, stiffness and pain throughout my feet and legs. My balance if also effected, and... Read more

…now wets itself in righteousness because somebody complains that Herman Cain made somebody feel uncomfortable once. I’ll never vote for the guy but… seriously? I’m supposed to believe the Dems have some burning sense of concern about this stuff after the Clinton Administration? Dems: Better put some ice on that. Read more

…the demons in charge of Aztec human sacrifice and the Communist butcheries of the 20th century have got to be crying in their beers and muttering, “So it’s come to this!” Read more

A reader writes: On Friday, my almost-three-year-old grandson, Jack, will have his fourth surgery. While the condition isn’t life-threatening, the stress on his parents as they worry about him, and the effect of so many surgeries on someone so young, is weighing heavily. We would appreciate prayers that he come through the operation and anesthesia well, and that the nurses and doctors be attentive to the need for a little guy to have his parents with him as soon as... Read more

So dedicated to the culture of death that he will go out of his way to punish and crush the Catholic Church, despite the fact that she helps the needy better than any other institution in the world. Don’t kid yourselves Obamaphiles. If you voted for this tyrant because you thought Dems care about the weak and vulnerable, you got sold a bill of goods. What these guys care about is imposing the sexual revolution at all costs and they... Read more
