In a post below, I noted a tweet from CBS’ Mark Knoller: Rejecting Jimmy Carter analysis, WH spksmn Gibbs says Pres. Obama does not blv that criticism of him comes based on the color of his skin. I twittered back: I believe this constant cry of racism is probably disheartening and distasteful to Obama. Perhaps he should say something. To which Knoller replied: i’m sure he would if asked since a former US pres made the comment. Whether a president... Read more
Over at Icons and Curiosities, Sally and Jody like to showcase the different, new, oddball or kitschy. I am surprised that Sally, who regularly looks at Catholic Goods on Ebay has missed this one: For the Little Catholic Boy who likes to play “Priest at Mass” Ornate lot of 8 very old miniature religious church vessels in silver color pewter lead castmetal that were most probably used as toys in the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. 2 – Church...

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, ‘WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!’” Do you think we could get Hillary to re-record that, and just change the words “not patriotic” to “a racist”? Meanwhile, here is Rep. Maxine Waters, who earlier this year got herself all worked up... Read more
My Mother-in-Law and my Father-in-Law are living saints. They are people who never have a bad word to say about anyone; they’re the first ones to go running to help someone in need, and usually, they’ll bring food when they do it. They’re Italian that way. They don’t hate anyone. Dad, especially, is incapable of hating anyone. He receives everyone with gentle (and gentlemanly) good grace and acceptance. He never raises his voice. He smiles sweetly and allows a person... Read more
Legal Insurrection: The increasingly hysterical use of the the race card by liberal columnists, bloggers and politicians reflects the last gasps of people who, being unable to win an argument on the merits, seek to end the argument. While the false accusation of racism is not a new tactic, it has been refined by Obama supporters into a toxic powder which is causing damage to the social fabric of the country by artificially injecting race into every political issue.. ....

Come, let us sing to the Lord and shout with joy to the Rock who saves us. Let us approach him with praise and thanksgiving and sing joyful songs to the Lord. Is that not a wonderful picture? Shamelessly cribbed from The Crescat (where Carolina Cannonball has a knack of finding great photos and works of art) – we see the child joyfully strewing the path with flowers by the handful and with abandon. She is fearless and self-possessed; the... Read more
Regular readers know I don’t ordinarily cover the big, sensationalist stories that go viral through the blogosphere, unless I feel I have something to contribute, so I haven’t said much of anything about these shocking videos of ACORN workers advising an undercover “pimp” and “ho” as to how they can get housing, evade taxes and -most repellent- traffic in underage prostitutes brought in from Latin America. I had incorrectly and naively assumed that given the nature of the relationship between... Read more
Nun News Network International Logo by reader Brian J Call this an addendum to my nun news roundup of a few weeks ago – a few loose ends. I’ve often mentioned that the religious communities who have embraced the internet are the ones scoring the highest number of vocations. Now Deacon Greg (does a day go by that I do not link to him?) has this interesting piece on the subject, via John Allen. The Dominican Men of St. Joseph... Read more
