I hate to sound like I’m just gratuitously picking on President Obama, but thanks in very large part to his incessant doomsaying and the very troubling sense that Tim Geithner seems clueless over at Treasury, consumer confidence hit a record low in February. Anyone surprised? No one wants to buy anything; no one wants to make a move, anywhere. Everyone is terrified and uncertain. Except, apparently, the chutzpah-filled Democrats, who are now pushing for another 400 Billion to keep the... Read more
An Epistle in a Picture, (H/T) And so, at the close of the rather distant and disappointing tenure of Cardinal Edward Egan, New York finally gets an Archbishop who might be called the “worthy successor” to the Mighty John Joseph O’ Connor, one Timothy Michael Dolan of Milwaukee I love this quote, highlighted by Deacon Greg: “I was at the vespers when he was installed as bishop.

But then my computer had problems and podcasting was out. I’d forgotten all about the idea of doing the rosary. But today – Feb 20 – all day, two things kept pounding in my head.
