I love Julie’s blog, Happy Catholic because Julie is not only a good and thoughtful writer with a different way of looking at things – she is also just so darn happy! She peppers her posts on politics, the church, television, her kids, and serious issues, with jokes, wry observations, witty repartee she’s gleaned from here and there and remembered…and she is generous in prayer, and with links, especially too blogs I otherwise may never see. Some of the funniest... Read more

Maureen Dowd has crafted a lovely tribute to her mother, Peggy, who sounds like a remarkable and memorable lady. Requiescat in pace, may the angels lead her into paradise. Read more
Rather she covers herself in something else. Michelle Malkin has the just-released (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) letter-of-apology from Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll to the family of Marine Sgt. Joseph Goodrich, whose funeral the Lt. Gov crashed before declaring “this (State of PA’s) government is against this war…” Michelle writes: …Knoll has no plans to make herself available for public comment about her obnoxious crashing of Sgt. Goodrich’s funeral. She will not hold a press conference. She will not take phone... Read more
UPDATE: Greg has informed me that his spot has been bumped to tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Greg Wallace of What Attitude Problem writes that he will be spotlighted in a feature – yes a feature – on the “gayification of NASCAR,” on tonight’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Sez Greg, who has permitted me to mention it: I guess it was one of those things where I didn’t want to wake up five years down the road and... Read more
UPDATE: This carrying on about other people’s religion is becoming a very bad habit. Here is Ted Kennedy “not talking” about Mitt Romney’s Mormonism. It would be all-too predictable if I were to go on a rant about this article by Jonathan Turley wherein he basically lets the cat out of the bag and reveals the position of the left on religion, specifically on those troublesome Catholics and other Christians, that is: It’s okay to be Catholic, as long as...

I just wanted to once again say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who generously contributed to help keep The Anchoress in bandwidth. I have tried to write individual thank yous, but I know that Amazon has not given me the names of all the donars, so I am at a loss as to how to thank you personally. To those of you who chose to contribute anonymously, please accept my sincere and heartfelt thanks. I cannot tell... Read more
As much as I read news, I can’t keep up! I never heard of what Mark Steyn talks about here WITH hindsight, the defining encounter of the age was not between Mohammed Atta’s jet and the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, but that between Mohammed Atta and Johnelle Bryant a year earlier. Bryant is an official with the US Department of Agriculture in Florida, and the late Atta had gone to see her about getting a $US650,000 government... Read more
If you are still unaware of what happens in Book 6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and you don’t want to know…DO NOT READ THIS. I’m not kidding, I plan on going into some detail, here, so if you want to read the book, and you get mad when people spoil the fun…DO NOT READ THIS! I have waited a whole week to comment on it, figuring it would be unfair to readers just nosing around to suddenly get... Read more
