Statistician by Day, takes a look at the Comet Kohoutek of Pandemics. Sooner or later, this whole Boy Who Cried Wolf Schtick from Caesar and the Media is going to have to mobilize the people against a real threat, but they will have so shot their credibility with WMD panics, climate change hysteria and swine flu non-events that people will not listen. Read more

One of the standard patterns for which way too many Faithful Conservative Christians[tm] fall is the habit of being herded into cheering for toxic secularism on the grounds that it is opposed to Radical Islam. Recall the wisdom of uncle Screwtape: the devil always sends errors and evils into the world in pairs in the hope that, fleeing one, we will embrace the other.

has a fun talk called “Think Outside the Pill“. Jessica is whip smart gal who used to go to my parish and who lives in Colorado now. Smart money is on her becoming a terrific apostle for the gospel of life.
