The puny monster’s idiotic game edifies no one

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 8:48 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

The staggeringly untalented and adolescent Ted Rall has issued a challenge to the right-wing part of the blogosphere. Several Bushist blogger types have written to assert that there are as many violent and threatening remarks and insults coming from liberals online as there are from conservatives against liberals. I’ve spent many sadly-lost hours online, and I say: no way. So here’s my challenge: Please email your worst, most vicious examples of liberal/leftie blogger vitriol (with links, natch), and I’ll post... Read more

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 8:48 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

It is only a brief stay, but what an opening for the workings of grace!

Possibly tomorrow,... Read more

John Paul II: The Lion in Winter

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 8:48 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

You have to hand it to the old man. His mind, sadly encased in a disobedient body, is still hardy, and he still has something to say, no matter how the Secular Humanists of Europe and the American Left might not want to hear it, no matter how it might tick off people who are too busy reacting and kvelling to really hear what is being said, no matter how much it might offend the increasingly prickly and defensive media....

Astonishing photo of Lebanese taking it to the streets

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 8:48 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

You can see the photo here. Powerline also has a good link to get up to speed with the story. CUANAS also has the story and adds this thought: This “Independance Uprising” is a residual effect of America’s “cowboy-like” policies. Our “imperialism” has spread democracy to two countries already in the past two years, and now a third country is threatened with democracy. We live in frightening times, and we have Bushitler to thank for it. The hunger for freedom... Read more

Sanctimony thy name is MSM

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 8:48 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Says Sr. Mary Cyberspace, OSB: I’m laughing about the big brou-haha in the MSM about tapes and W possibly smoking a few when younger. More than anything else this is so pathetic. If he didn’t...
