Well, the blogosphere is all abuzz (even if the national, mainstream media seem not to be) about this alleged attack on a 20-year old McCain volunteer, which started out as a mugging, and – perhaps – became an assault and “branding.” Glenn Reynolds says: this is so serious that I predict it will get almost one-tenth as much national coverage as something some guy may have yelled at a Palin rally once. I did not jump on the story because... Read more
The truest satire I’ve yet seen. Funny and horrifying. As Jonah Goldberg says, “sadly funny” Read more
Alright. I have about eleventybillion people emailing this to me. I’ve linked to it several times. Now I’m embedding it. Please stop sending it to me; I’m already drowning in email I can’t get to! Read more
Unexpectedly called away and only just home. Very sorry for the lack of anything new to read; I had wanted to do Vespers, too, darn it – I’ll try to be a little interesting when you wake up in the morning! Read more
Let your daughter have first of all the book of Psalms for holiness of heart, and be instructed in the Proverbs of Solomon for her godly life. ~ St. Jerome The Podcast for today’s Morning Prayer may be found here. As ever, I’m using the breviary and guide featured below Read more

Just wanted to say that if you left a comment it may have been lost as I went to clear my spam filter and ended up deleting everything in it. Simple technology still defeats me at every turn. But then you knew that about me. Read more
A busy day and night with family planned. See you late Monday AM or so! Be Well! Read more
My impression: she’s a natural on camera; completely comfortable – no surprise. And clearly a good sport. The SNL cast, on the other hand, seemed a bit uncomfortable and stiff. Alec Baldwin’s a good sport, too. Josh Brolin’s monologue got some dead air when going after Bush. I think people have figured out that going after Bush is overdone, and completely playing-it-safe. Everyone bashes Bush; Bush doesn’t bash back, he doesn’t demand your suspension, he doesn’t go after your livelihood.... Read more
Big family doings through Sunday and part of Monday will have things quiet around here. Be well! Hey, do you think Obama and Ayers ran into each other, once in a while? Meanwhile, the press cannot be happy with the reality (and the anger) they have helped to create: From Iowahawk, who is pulling no punches: Politicians — Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, et al. — obviously have to put up with some rude, nasty shit, but it’s right there in...
