Last night I gave you Children of Bodom shredding Vivaldi, via my Elder Son. Today you get this, via my son Buster. Listen to this man sing Nessun Dorma in this live recording! Holy crap! Goosebumps! Those high notes are supported from such a depth – yet sound so effortless – I have to think his testicles were holding them up! Astonishing! (H/T Buster) Read more
Children of Bodom playing…I’m not sure, is it Vivaldi? Awesome. (H/T Elder Son) Read more

George W. Obama: Jim Geraghty identifies what would be an Obama Bushism, if such things were being observed and tallied: “You know, it’s always a bad practice to say ‘always’ or ‘never.'” — Obama, speaking in Amman I know another: “Only a Sith speaks in absolutes.” But I never could stay awake through that movie. Hot Air finds another. The verbal gaffes must be because Obama is tired. I can accept that; traveling knocks the crap out of me, and... Read more
Just typing the header gave me a chuckle – it’s a brilliant premise. This piece by Confederate Yankee is pretty darn clever, and it signals to those comedy writers who doubted it that there is plenty of room for real satire involving both candidates in this campaign. Unfortunately, due to formatting, I can’t excerpt it here – you must go read it for yourself. Like I said – pretty clever. And cute, too, since these two can’t seem to get... Read more
So, apparently the New York Times, on the heels of this Rasmussen Report which suggests that the voting public is finding the press just a tad too “in the tank” for Sen. Obama, has rejected a John McCain op-ed meant to respond to Obama’s Times-featured op-ed from last week. Glenn says, “People are going to start to think the press is in the tank for Obama or something. Oops, too late!” Not only did the Op-Ed editor, David Shipley, a... Read more
Last week, in linking to Michael Totten’s piece on Kosovo and its affection for Bill & Hillary Clinton, there were some questions about whether Clinton’s legacy there was really a good thing, given the abuse the Orthodox Christians have suffered there (see comments section at that link). Totten begins to answer those questions in this first installment of a two-parter that continues looking at the region – and the religion question – The Bin Ladens of the Balkans, Part I:...

Two interesting science stories that make you go “hmmmmm….” First from Instapundit: Much of Earth’s oil reserves can be traced to a single volcanic eruption, scientists say. Second – and if this is real – it is both fascinating and and ethanol idea I can really get behind: a video about making fuel, even jet fuel from algea. Like I said, if it’s real…cooooooool. I still reject the “climate change” hysteria; but alternative energy ideas are always worth exploring. Read more
A long, long time ago, in answering a question from a reader about why we Catholics make such fusses about things I wrote of Advent and the Incarnation: God kisses the earth, and nothing has been the same since…But no, maybe that’s not quite it, maybe God doesn’t just kiss the earth, for a kiss cannot last. Rather, God comes, as bridegroom – the real bridegroom who weds himself to us, divinity to humanity -and shares with us that most... Read more
Now, I’m not going to take the cheap route, here, and jump all over Barack Obama (or compare him to Dan Quayle) just for suggesting that his time spent schmoozing world leaders is important because he expects to be “dealing with them over the next 8 to 10 years,”. Every schoolchild knows that – unless he’s expecting to repeal the 22nd amendment – no president will serve more than two four year terms. I’m sure Obama, who is a brilliant... Read more
