I ain’t nuthin’ compared to Dr. Sanity when she gets going. And I have to say, her rage is pretty righteous. Stop the ACLU also points to a problem with the press. Unreal. Read more

Or, as Siggy says, so much for the torture flights. There is no evidence the US has used UK airspace for flights transferring terror suspects to countries where they could be tortured, the government says. Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram said it would be a diplomatic error for UK officials to board jets to investigate. That would involve an “assumption” the US was not “being honest with us”. Speaking to the joint parliamentary committee on human rights, he said: “Why... Read more
I didn’t know he’d written so much religious music – even a Mass? Who knew! Brubeck has said in interviews that he joined the Roman Catholic Church after writing the Mass “To Hope! A Celebration” in 1979. A priest who heard it asked him why he left out “Our Father.” Brubeck said he wasn’t told to include it, so he didn’t add the prayer to the piece. But he went on vacation with his family and on the second night... Read more
As predicted by many, the saga of Abdul Rahman, a Muslim who dared to convert to Christianity is ongoing. Michelle Malkin has the very distressing news (with rather intimidating photo) that some Muslims are already congregating to insure his death for being an apostate infidel. I wrote the other day whether this situation was not a cosmic gauntlet being thrown, meant to stir complacent Christians of every stripe – and specifically the churches – into action. It is not politically... Read more
Miss Kelly is distressed to find that some hymnals (including – sigh – the one in my church) features a change in the words to Amazing Grace. “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me…” Has been changed to reflect both the freedom that comes with salvation – which is very nice – and also the decree from some publishing house on high that we never, ever sing a lyric that might suggest a negative. “Amazing...

My poor, much put-upon husband. He’s always after me to do something about all the books all over the house. When he sees the mailbox full of review copies of books he just shakes his head and mutters, “at least they’re free…” These all look interesting. Don’t Waste Your Sorrows discusses the role of suffering in the Christian life, something this blog has explored a couple-dozen times. This is apparently a re-issue of a book that has been around for... Read more
While I would never claim to have the pristine mouth of an angel (I worked around stockbrokers too long for that…) I do not, no matter how provoked I might feel, take the Name of the Lord in vain – never. Buster will tell you this because one of the few times I ever reached out and whacked him upside the head like an Italian mother was when he did it. Which means that I – a New Yorker –... Read more

Was just checking out this thread – part of a forum commenting on this remebrance of the “falling man” of the WTC – at Lucianne.com. Reply #19 posted this. #22 gives you a direct link. It’s easy to forget, to lose sight of perspective and context, when you never see the reality of what happened to this nation in 2001. Osama bin Laden saw the weak horse. We cannot allow him – or his ilk – to see it again.... Read more
How do you like that. It was an accident. The economy has slipped into a sweet spot. If you say it like that, you don’t have to give anyone credit, do you? Another beaut from our unbiased media. The economy has slipped into a sweet spot of steady growth and low inflation, a seemingly perfect soft landing after a long housing boom, energy price shocks and devastating natural disasters. Economic growth looks set for a strong rebound in the first... Read more
