Call it Climate-gate! And call Al Gore, Ahab. Call me Ishmael. I will be ashamed if my readers did not already know (as we have discussed for years) that the Global Warming Hoax was/is, as we have always know it to be, a hoax. An effort to defraud nations and assist in the tireless (and creative) leftist international movement Or, that seems to be the general trend of the news. One suspects this hacking had much to do with the... Read more
Because I am a distracted and disorganized fool, I had not stopped by Julie’s website in a few days, and I missed the news that her father had passed away. Julie’s father was a determined atheist who wanted no part of God, and in the past year she has written many moving posts about her prayers that his heart might be touched and turned. I urge you to read her “Family” category when you have some time to spend, to... Read more
Charles Krauthammer explains in no uncertain terms why Eric Holder is basically lying (or purposely redefining what trials are in Obamaland) when he calls the KSM Showtrial in NYC a real trial. So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the superiority of our system where the rule of law and the fair trial reign. Really? What happens if KSM (and his co-defendants) “do not get convicted,” asked Senate Judiciary Committee member Herb... Read more
“If I’ve learned anything yet about transparency is that it’s harder to practice transparency than it is to talk about transparency. It’s definitely not something for the faint of heart.” Yes, “showing your work” is difficult in a “just words” presidency. And only the Obama Administration would be allowed to get away with saying that. A Bush, or even a Clinton Administration would be raked over the coals and roundly mocked. Read more
This is adorable, particularly around the 1:20 mark. Cute cat; patient cop. No sound. Read more
I know I haven’t done them in a while, but this morning -up early and venturing into the splendid Office of Readings (OOR)- I thought I would share them with you. As we approach the end of the liturgical year, the readings are full of end-times scripture and prophecy, and the lessons are full of love, and warming us up for Advent. I can’t help but think they would be appealing to Catholics and Evangelicals, alike. Unfortunately, it turns out... Read more
I don’t know what this organ piece is, but it’s joyful, exuberant and energy-pumping. Rise and shine, and get jiggy with the habits in Rome! Read more
Pianogirl sent this recipe to me a few years ago. I used it for one of Buster’s Eagle fund raisers, and people went berserk for it. With good reason. It’s incredibly delicious. I made it a few months ago, because we really love pumpkin around here, and one of my husband’s friends made a pig of himself and insisted on having the recipe. Enjoy. Pianogirl’s Pumpkin Bread Pudding Note: This makes enough to fill a 9″ square pan…I always double... Read more
Very entertaining talk on why the new film 2012 is not worth spending a dime on, at least from my perspective. Fr. Robert Barron calls it “anti-religious” and “anti-Catholic,” although among people of faith Buddhists are allowed to be good people who live (there you go, Joseph, you’ll outlive me!). He has a good time tearing apart Roland Emmerich’s movie -where anyone who prays dies- and the irony he discusses at the end is particularly amusing. Enjoy Read more
Two women get into their cars, under the influence of alcohol. One of them is the wife of a powerful Republican senator. The other is the daughter of a powerful Democrat senator and former Candidate for the Office of the President. The wife of the Republican is named: Charlene Lugar, wife of Senate Foreign Relations ranking member Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), was arrested Wednesday night for drunken driving after a traffic accident in McLean, Va. The daughter of the Democrat senator... Read more
