Yay, a book post! And not a very carefully thought out one, either. Here are the books I’m recommending (kinda) in today’s post. As always, if you’re thinking of shopping through Amazon, I’d be grateful if you’d use the links in this post! I get small percentage of each sale, which I use to try to persuade my children that they’re having a happy childhood.

I can’t tell you how much I love this, except that I love it so much that I’m not even mad at... Read more

Today’s post would have been a lot more fun with the pictures right in the body, instead of via links, but I suddenly got all copyright-aware. But I did get to mention Eucharistic Prayer II and “Boola Boola” in the same paragraph, so it’s a good day. Read more
Some of you may have heard the radio conversation I had with Al Kresta and Monica Miller, about whether or not pro-lifers ought to publicly display graphic abortion images. (I don’t think it’s archived, but it was at around 5:00 on Friday, Feb. 1). I was not happy with the way that conversation went, but I know that I did my best, so I chalked it up to “Catholics be that way sometimes,” and figured I’d just move along. But... Read more
around 5:05, talking to Monica Migliorino Miller about the use of graphic abortion photos. I am not super great on the radio — I tend to pant — so a quick prayer is appreciated that it will be a fruitful and not-too-humiliating conversation. Read more
1. Mahoney relieved of remaining duties. Why is he not in sackcloth and ashes? Why is he not in prison?? 2. Environmentalists’ erstwhile darling Al “Hypnotoad” Gore finally gets a little comeuppance for his outrageous hypocrisy (and totally doesn’t get it when Jon Stewart calls him “Al” to rhyme with the “Al” in “Al Jazeera” — heh). 3. I washed the pants my husband was wearing when he had to get up at 2 a.m. and drive to the... Read more
