I am very sorry to learn this sad news. I did not know Barnett but I admired his smart, witty writing immensely. Prayers for his family at this time… this is one of my favorites of his pieces: I am 37 years old and have cystic fibrosis. I’m at a stage in my life where finding a cure or control for CF is a matter of some urgency. Nonetheless, I do not support embryo cloning for stem-cell research. Creating life... Read more
Tito the Builder is cool. He’s a nice change from the O-supporting digital brownshirts, too. H/T An attitude of gratitude instead of entitlement. A patriot’s love of country. An individual’s understanding of personal exceptionalism. A guy who truly embodies the transformative power of genuine hope; the sparkle from the wheel. Some background on Tito Munez, the guy who came to America and said, “all I need is a chance.” You go, Tito! Related: Class Tells; Class Wars Do Not I... Read more
If this does not frighten you — regardless of your political affiliation — then you deserve what this man will deliver with both houses of Congress, a filibuster-proof Senate, and, to quote Senator Obama again, “a righteous wind at our backs.” That a man so clear in his understanding of the Constitution, and so opposed to the basic tenets it provides against tyranny and the abuse of power, can run for president of the United States is shameful enough. We’re... Read more
Cooking for and entertaining 20 or so people today for a 51st anniversary. The menu sounds light – an antepaste, a connsommé, a Caesar salad, a lovely garlic/mushroom chicken breast entree served with sausage stuffing, fried cauliflower, broccoli w/almonds and pumpkin bread (you know I had to make pumpkin something) and then an anniversary cake, Italian Rainbow Cookies and other goodies for dessert. With Mystic Monk Colombian Roast, decaf Hazelnut or Espresso to finish. So, why am I so exhausted?... Read more
I have written often and often about the dangers a nation faces when its press is not free: It’s so tiring, you almost don’t want to bother saying it. But we have to keep pointing it out, this mad descent of the press, and not grow weary or complacent. The only way to keep the press honest is to keep it accountable; that is our responsibility – yours and mine – a free press is an unencumbered, detached, open and... Read more
In my email, today, One Baby, One Vote: 49 Million American babies have been aborted since 1973; 25 million would have been old enough to vote in this election. Read on… I’m still on the mat but trying to get up. Check back through the day. I’ll try to at least amuse…as with this bit of zydeco. And, oh, yeah, did you read about the new cabinet-level offices planned under Obama? I may go buy a gun when I feel... Read more
This is adorable, courtesy of Deacon Greg Unbelievable McCain Vs. Obama Dance-Off – Watch more free videos I’m down and feeling a bit punk with the old ailment. Hopefully will be back on my game later tonight. Read more
Had a doctor’s appointment so I missed this when it broke. I’m so glad I followed my gut and didn’t buy into this story: How stupid and/or needy is this kid? Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter “B” in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker. Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an... Read more
Many of you have been kind enough to keep this gravely injured serviceman and his family in your prayers, and have asked for an update. Well, all I can say is I’m sort of clinging to the adage that “no news is good news.” I have not heard back from his family since the day of posting, when they asked me to release no details at all – not even the branch of service, sorry – due to the nature...
