War crimes are okay when Israelis commit them, just as they are okay when we commit them. Of course, this is being reported by people unapproved to enter Gaza by the Israelis, so it’s all a lie–and besides those civilians had it coming. Read more

This little film summarizes the gratitude I feel toward my wonderful readers: You have been generous and supportive and kind to us Sheas through the years and I think it should be said and acknowledged a lot more than I have done. I get snowed under with work and over-focused on the one or two people who turn up in the comboxes to be nasty and dumb. While I was in Dallas, I went to the Eucharistic chapel to pray... Read more

He writes: I’d appreciate it if you could ask your readers for prayers regarding my state of soon-to-be-unemployed-ness. Directing them to my blog and my Etsy store wouldn’t hurt, either. I’m always hopeful and optimistic, and I rest in the providence of God… but I’m still a bit apprehensive. I believe prayer works, and if they can just add this intention to their prayer list (along with a special intention for the healing of your blog format… heh) I’d be... Read more

Some people do not admit this and try to be just, wise, loving and good out of... Read more

Over at HuffPo, a spokesman for the Obama Administration defends the policy of funding and encouraging abortion by claiming that higher abortion rates have reduced crime and kept us all safer. Of course, no right-thinking American would so much as suggest that this is self-serving consequentialist BS from the Obama Minister of Propaganda. Oh! Wait! I’m sorry! I meant to write this: Over at NRO, a spokesman for the Bush Administration defends the policy of torturing and abusing prisoners by... Read more

A reader writes: Thank you for your prayers –about a month ago, I asked for them for an OB/GYN who was considering changing her practice to totally pro-life, non-contraceptive. She is doing it! The letter to her patients goes out soon. Please pray for her, because as you know the going will not be not easy, and in the eyes of the world, of course, her timing is ludicrous. (FOCA,anyone??!!) We must, must continue to pray for our physicians and... Read more

A reader writes: So I’m reading the usual Global warming hysterics on the NPR website and I click on the comment section to see a responsible, educated and environmentally conscious person of the left write the following: David Williams (DW_558) wrote:Even such a seemigly wise idea as population reduction, be it by mass suicide, mass genocide or “natural selection” is unlikely to be sufficient, given the runanaway population of humans on this planet. Even if a few BILLION people died,... Read more
