Yes, it’s Obama’s fault that you’re been so crabby lately, but I still think you need to rein it in a little. Also, not that this is really related: Read more

I’m very proud to be working for one of the first lay organizations to strike back against the HHS’s unconstitutional mandate. EWTN Files Suit to Block Contraception Mandate In my circles, the talk has been about nothing but this issue; but for anyone who’s interested, the USCCB has a good summation of why Catholics, and even secular citizens who have a clue about the Constitution, are so upset about the mandate.  I’m just copying the list here, but if you... Read more

I kept hoping that if I kept writing, this post would turn out to be about something.  Alas. Still, let’s see ’em make a canoe out of me now!* *This is such an insider joke that I’m not even sure I get it myself.  I just realized that I’ve fallen into the habit of poking my posts all over with a fork before anyone has a chance to comment. Read more

I just sent off an email notifying SUSAN DOW that she is the randomly chosen winner in the drawing for an autographed copy of the upcoming book, Style, Sex, and Substance: 10 Catholic Women Consider the Things That Really Matter!  Congratulations! I’m going to say that again, just in case Sue didn’t receive my email, since it had the words “winner” “randomly chosen” and “sex” in it, and I don’t know how strict her email filters are, what with all... Read more

For what?  I think I may also have inadvertently insulted the National Guard, which seems like a good way to start the week. In other news:  I’m horribly behind schedule today, but I will be announcing the winner for the book giveaway later today!  I see now that I said the contest would be open until Monday the 5th.  Since Monday was the 6th, I think it only fair that the next contest will be held on June 43rd, but... Read more

UPDATED:  Komen almost instantly caved in to pressure, and will reinstate funding to Planned Parenthood.  Well, that was the worst ten dollars I ever spent. This morning’s post, before the announcement: It ain’t because my I thought my dental floss looked better in Pepto pink. Read more

Dear Everyone, If you wrote to me using my [email protected] address any time from October 2011 on, there’s a good chance I never got your email.  Gmail was supposed to forward those emails to my personal inbox, but . . . it didn’t.  I have no idea why.  I just happened to check on a whim today, and discovered, to my horror, that there are nearly 400 emails that I never saw.  I’m so sorry!  Please be patient while I... Read more

I’d like to apologize for today’s post, because — well, I don’t know why, yet.  But I’m sure someone will let me know. Also, I couldn’t get my kids to leave me alone long enough so I could find the clip from South Park where they have to apologize to Jesse Jackson.  So, sorry about that. Read more

My friend Hallie Lord asked us to pray for her friend, whose marriage is in serious trouble.  The friend has a blog which I’m not familiar with, but when I went to check it out, I was bowled over by this post, A Blanket Apology, which I know will speak to many of you guys in its heartbreaking humility. The author, Kate, says in a post today:  “If you are moved to, please consider joining me in fasting and prayer... Read more
