Letterman's Lame Non-Apology -UPDATED

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Hey, David Letterman wasn’t making sexual jokes about the 14-year old! He was just branding the 18-year old who, after all, “did get knocked up” and should therefore be forever caricatured as a slut by a 62 year-old progressive looking for adolescent laughs! And their mother looks slutty, too! Haw-haw! They’re all sluts, haw-haw! So much for the progressive notions of “respect-for-women’s-choices” and the “tolerant” mantra that “teenagers-will-have-sex-so-what’s-the-big-deal.” I wonder how an “enlightened, progressive” sort like Letterman can reconcile those...

Off. Steven Tyrone Johns; Holocaust Hero – UPDATED

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Don Surber says it’s a bad day to be an American. Steven Tyrone Johns Let us pray tonight, for the soul and the family of 39 year-old Officer Steven Tyrone Johns who has lost his life while helping to prevent a bloodbath by an elderly, anti-semitic, anti-Catholic, 9/11 truthing, sick, sick mind. Surely when Officer Johns awoke this morning, he could not guess he would be the latest hero of the Holocaust, which we delude ourselves into thinking has ended.... Read more

Miranda Rights for Terrorists & President Opposite

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Over breakfast, my husband and I were discussing President Obama’s Cairo speech, wherein he lectured the West about the freedom of Muslim women to wear the hijab (Obama called it a hajib; is either correct?), but said nothing about Muslim nations giving them the freedom to not wear the covering, if they choose. “He speaks here about nations not having the right to tell other nations what to do,” my husband mused, “but does precisely the opposite with regards to...

Thank you for shopping Amazon

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Once again, I want to say thanks to all of you who enter Amazon via this site (either through product links or the Amazon search box on the right). When you enter Amazon through The Anchoress, you generate a bit of income for me, and I use some of it to supplement my own income, and donate a percentage of it to various charities; some months it is the hospice that helped my brother through his last, sometimes it is...

Lileks on Letterman on Palin – UPDATED

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

If you have missed it, the old rule that you don’t go after a politicians kids (which has been strongly, and correctly, in place under all Democrat presidents, and was even sometimes practiced about the Bush-twins) does not apply to Sarah Palin, and has never applied to Sarah Palin. You may get nagged at for observing that Michelle Obama looks like she is angry, but it’s “funny pop-culture-coolness” to suggest that Sarah Palin (who is a stoopit hick, afterall) looks...

Morning Prayer, June 10

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

This morning’s Podcast of Morning Prayer is a little different than usual; I added the first “Invitator” psalm, which I usually omit. The Invitatory is usually Psalm 95, the “invitation” to come praise the Lord. I recorded this in the wee small hours of the morning, with the window to my office open, so you may hear some birdsong in the background. Morning prayer as it is meant to be prayed, joining in with the re-awakening Creation! I love the... Read more

Hobbit Houses, Worship, Misogynists & more

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

I’m finding it very difficult to concentrate with a houseful today, so here are some quick-and-unrelated things you may have missed – stick with it, I know there are some things below which will inspire you: “Prime Minister, how much more clearly do we have to speak, before you understand us?” Wait for the reading of Dr. Seuss at the end. What we’re seeing in England is that huge government spending, high taxation and socialist policies don’t work. Why are... Read more

600,000 jobs "saved or created"

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 6:22 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

The intellectually incurious press is in full-obedience mode. If the president wants them to report – with straight faces – that Obama is going to snap his fingers and, using the same ideas he proposed before he took office, “create” 600,000 jobs, or save them, or something, well, that’s what they’ll do for him. Hmmm…now this doesn’t add up: If Obama was making these proposals before he took office, but he’s now claiming (as he does nearly every day) that... Read more
