Why doesn’t the Latin Rite Church just start ordaining married men again? If men can’t or won’t stay celibate, then why force the issue? Well, I peeked into the future, when married priests are commonplace, and this is what I heard in the pews: “Well! I see the pastor’s wife is pregnant again! What is she trying to prove? Must be nice to pop ’em out year after year, while the parish has to support all those brats.” or: ... Read more
Seven Reasons Why Being Fat May Be the Right Choice For You . . . Today! 1. You are so comfortable for the kids to snuzzle up with, especially in the winter. As Mighty Mighty pointed out in the comments box of this post, kids always think bigger is better; and being nice and soft, with no bunchy muscles or anything, makes it even nicer. Not only for the kids, either. 2. Fashionwise, it’s a great time to be fat. ... Read more
Sorry for the silence, folks. I’m suffering from 80% disease: I have about six posts 80% written, and then I say, “Yeah, that’s pretty much it — I’ll just go back and finish it up tonight.” And then I dye my hair, change my social security number, and move to Canada so I don’t have to deal with it. In the mean time, I offer you this Loretta Lynn song that my mother sent me. I’ve never heard it before,... Read more

(cross-posted at Inside Catholic’s blog) My heart sank when I saw this picture on Creative Minority Report: The NAACP hid a prominent statue of George Washington inside a wooden box during a MLK Day rally, offering the terminally lame excuse that the box would make a more suitable backdrop for the rally’s speakers. The NAACP denies any intention of disrespect, but their narrow view of history is no secret: anyone who owned slaves is a racist, and anyone who... Read more
(This post originally appeared in my old blog a few years ago. I know it’s Wednesday, which is not a good day for a Thursday Throwback, but at the last minute [specifically, 2 a.m., when I was up getting my son some codeine for his throat], I decided that the post I had scheduled for today was too personal, to weird, too easily misconstrued, and above all too full of lady talk. So, you’re welcome! And yes, it is Wednesday.)... Read more
Ooh, doesn’t that sound like a good post? You can read it at Conversion Diary, where Jen Fulwiler has graciously lent me some space for a guest post today. It’s about something I just figured out: baby Jesus being born is a lot like a baby being born. No, really! If you don’t read Conversion Diary regularly, you’re nuts. Jen is a Catholic convert from atheism, now expecting her fifth child, and always has something unusual, insightful, or funny to... Read more
I have taken up being sick and angry as a full-time job this week. So this is what you get. –1– We got about as much snow as anyone did the other day, and now we can’t find our garbage cans. Usually my husband shovels, but when his back is out and the rest of us are half dead with our post-strep throat cold which we picked up in the hospital when my son got his tonsils out – –...

Well, I’m happy to see (through the surveillance device I’ve had installed on this blog) that many of you are checking out MousesHouses, the source of the picture of that nice little mouse doing the fan dance from the other day. Now, normally a blog subtitled “Pictures from my own private mouseland” would send me screaming in the other direction, but for some reason, I really like these mice. I am not a fan of cuteness in general, unless I... Read more
If, by chance, you should happen to wake up in the middle of the night and you realize you can see your breath, you may be out of heating oil. This may surprise you, since it was only a few weeks ago that you also woke up in the middle of the night and realized you could see your breath. Yes, it’s been cold, but that is an awfully fast time to burn through that much oil. And you were... Read more
