This is rather surprising to me. Kokonutpundits write: It has come to my attention, quite shockingly, that the Pentagon has not yet given out Purple Hearts to the soldiers killed and wounded in the grenade and rifle attack at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait a few days before the start of the Iraq war on March 23, 2003. It has been three since the attack and family and service members are wondering why the Pentagon’s refusal to give out Purple Hearts?... Read more
But I’m trying, I’m trying. These are things I have wanted to link to and have not had time to, all day. I bet many of them you have not seen. Or, you know…I could be all wet. 421 AlQaeda fighters stopped before they reached the green zone? We need to pray to keep angels there. Ace reminds us of what President Bush always says: We need to be lucky every day…the bad guys only need to be lucky once.... Read more
He wants me to tell you that this album, with solos by B.B. King, the late, great Joe Williams (“Mom, this old dude ROCKED!”) and others, plus David Benoit and Chick Correa this a terrific and fun album of mostly jazz. And although he is not a fan of Kenny G’s – in fact, it is safe to say that Buster is a jazz-snob who looks down upon Kenny G with great disdain – he says this 1989 CD contains... Read more
Dear Lord; I’m feeling a little overwhelmed here. It’s bad enough that the Holy Spirit spurred me on last night into reading some of the most romantic and alluring poetry ever written, and it was in your scriptures, “I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick with love” and fulcite me floribus stipate me malis quia amore langueo! Amore langueo! Egad! Let me lean against the stout trunks,... Read more

And he has all these goodies for sale at his site. I like the “The Fashion it is not the nuclear rocket brain surgery” cup. I wonder what he’d say about my veil and capelet? Read more
Picked this up from Julie at Happy Catholic and I must say I really do agree with this assessment of the Latin Mass: I don’t think I’ll be making regular trips back. The distance, while inconvenient, isn’t a real factor. I wouldn’t mind making the drive once a month, or even more often, if I thought it necessary. But, I don’t. First of all, I am completely accustomed to the Novus Ordo, and my parish, for all its flaws, doesn’t... Read more
You have to check out Michael Totten’s great post. I found a seat next to an old man and ordered a glass of (what else?) Iraqi style tea. It’s hard to describe what happened next without sounding arrogant or full of myself. I don’t mean it that way. The same thing would likely have happened to you if we had switched places. Almost everyone in that tea shop – and it was a crowded place – gathered around me and... Read more
More and more evidence keeps surfacing that, in fact, the Jews have primacy and “rights” to Israel and Jerusalem. This time, we find a city perhaps the very city where Jesus performed his first miracle, Cana. In a rare find, remnants of an ancient Israelite city that dates back three thousand years have been uncovered during excavations in the Israeli Arab village of Kfar Kana in the Lower Galilee, Israel’s Antiquities Authority announced Monday. The area, located north of Nazareth,... Read more
