Sorry so quiet. The family event on Sunday left me knock-kneed tired and yesterday was putting the house back together and attending a wake. We’re reached middle age, now. Now, we’re done going to each other’s kid’s baptisms, communions and Sweet 16 parties, and we’re beginning to bury our parents. Soon, there will be college graduations and weddings. Life goes on. Taking a look at those headlines today? Pakistan, reassured by the friendliness of the new Administration and the utter... Read more

A couple of emails from Catholics expressing displeasure at the news that Nancy Pelosi is heading to Rome with a contingent of legislators and will take a meeting with His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI. Wrote a former marine who seem pretty angry: I am deeply concerned about this matter as I personally believe that Mrs. Pelosi should be excommunicated I understand where this fellow is coming from, but I am elated, rather than disturbed, that Mrs. Pelosi is meeting with... Read more

It feels more and more like the 1970’s in America, but with a 1984 chaser. Sen. Diane Feinstein spills classified information and tells the world that yes, we have drones based in Pakistan. Today A few days ago, in an apparently a clearly unrelated incident, and American UN worker was kidnapped in Pakistan! The kidnappers of an American U.N. workers seized in Pakistan have threatened to kill him within 72 hours unless more than 100 prisoners are released. The threat... Read more

My husband works for a company that is trying to sell their product to places like Lowe’s and Home Depot. I hear Obama say “BUILDING SPRAWL STOPS NOW!” and I think, there go 800,000 jobs. And along with those jobs, probably another 100,000 jobs in retail and business technologies. And there goes an awful lot of tax revenue. How we are supposed to pay for this beast of a bill without taxable earnings is something the great “I Won” –... Read more

Hey, $13 dollars is $13, I guess. In January that falls to $8. Here is our 800 billion dollar stimulus mostly-spending bill we must see passed, and we must gratefully accept as the only possible solution to our “catastrophic” problems and our growing malaise. The ONLY solution. This other one, over here, brought up by another Democrat? Ignored. Just ignored. I just have one thing to ask: What does Michelle Obama suggest we do – how we will stimulate the... Read more

He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury.

First the Rasmussen poll: 67% Say They Could Do A Better Job On The Economy Than Congress When it comes to the nation’s economic issues, 67% of U.S. voters have more confidence in their own judgment than they do in the average member of Congress. … Since they no longer control either the Senate or the House, it’s no surprise that a majority of Republicans (51%) say a group of people picked at random from the phone book would do... Read more

The Incorruptible Body of St. Bernadette Soubirous Fr. James Martin, author of My Life With the Saints – which I have mightily praised in these parts – has made a series of videos on some of his favorite saints, and today he gives us a very well-done look at St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes, who is one of my favorite saints, too.
