Putting a human face on the fears of so many, Kim at Musing Minds -daughter of an older American and mother of a “special needs” American – writes to her representative about her concerns. It must be asked: will rationing and bottom lines usurp the primacy of love? Read more
Source <center Writes Allahpundit: “It’s practically a taunt.” Indeed, I find it breathtaking. The man is supposed to be the leader of the country, the president of ALL the people, not just the ones who agree with him, and he’s basically over half the nation to just shut up and fall in line. In fact, the president and his White House have been so irresponsible this week, what with their, “punch back twice as hard” nonsense (good going, there, chief)... Read more
So, Michelle Obama took the girls out for a hamburger, fries and shakes yesterday. I’ve had probably ten people email me saying, one way or another, “how nice that Michelle’s girls get to eat hamburgers while the country gets lectured about how it needs to eat better,” or “if they get blocked arteries, will Obamacare cover them or blame them for eating red meat?” I understand their points. Having the White House carry on about obesity in children and poor... Read more
Early yesterday evening, I wrote: You know who could put a stop to the bad feelings arising in this country? President Obama, who is supposed to be the leadership. Just as Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton backed off when they realized America was not into having their Healthcare taken over by the government, Obama could say, “you know, I’m moving kind of fast here, maybe we’ll shelve this for a while and concentrate more on putting people back to work,...

(H/T) Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House: “They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that…”. Kevin Aylward says of Pelosi’s assertion: What a CROCK! You’ll want to read it, and then take a look at the “nazi thugs that have Pelosi so worried. Barbara Boxer, D-CA: Townhall protesters are “too well dressed…” to be real. Repeat after me: The fascist is whoever is trying to shut you up, shut you down, dis-employ you, silence you, cripple you or marginalize you for... Read more
Some readers may have noticed the sky-blue box in the righthand sidebar (just above the Amazon search box) and are wondering what that’s about. In my ongoing effort to pay down the student loans/tuitions and keep the blog going, I’ve become an associate for Aquinas and More, a terrific online Catholic shop (Books, rosaries, DVD’s, Icons, etc) from whom I have ordered things for years, always with pleasing results. In fact, I recently purchased this votive candle holder (and these... Read more
Deacon Greg is mad about Madmen. Me, I’ve never seen the show, but making Madmen cartoons of ourselves was fun. Greg, at the NET-TV Studios, with is paper and his coffee (and it’s not very good coffee; I’ve had it): Me, sauntering in to talk about blogging, except here I indulge my love of red, which I never wear, not being slim. And I carry my superior-tasting Mystic Monk Coffee, natch. Plus, this is a fantasy whereby I have tallness,... Read more
Source I’ll say this for Life Under the Obama Regime, the inclusion of communist-inspired propaganda art has certainly upgraded and enlivened political expression. This is much more captivating (and substantive) than, for example, the played-out Bushian beheadings and vampires. (H/T) Then there is the spreading Joker, which apparently has been collecting new captions Art appreciation aside, does anyone remember the recent demonizing of corporate fellows who dared to take private jets to business meetings? Remember how they offended both the... Read more
Over at FT’s Icons and Curiosities, they’ve run a bit amok. Jody Bottum has been attempting to re-decorate Sally’s Thomas’ Homeschooling house while working with a very narrow theme. And here is where they’re at, now You’ll be surprised. The horror. Oh, the horror. If you have any further ideas, let them know! They need help. Much help.

Knowing that we’ve been musing about Evolution, Genesis, Science and Faith around here, Elder Son brought this video to my attention, remarking that he found the priest to be “insightful and charming.” Faith & Science from World Science Festival on Vimeo. Not a bad panel, eh? Proving once again that people with opposing views can still manage a good-faith debate with civility, and humor, and even admission of commonalities. As we celebrate the feastday of St. John Vianney, patron of... Read more
