Every day I make a \u201cto-do\u201d list<\/strong> and every single day I proudly put lines through what I\u2019ve managed to get done and frown over what is left, and too much gets left.<\/p>\n

I just discovered a list of people I needed to write thank you\u2019s to, for something. I wrote the list ages ago, and it got buried. Thankfully, it\u2019s never to late to express gratitude, but what a slob I\u2019ve been!<\/p>\n

For weeks now I have been meaning<\/strong> to wish a Happy Fifth Blogging Anniversary to Obi\u2019s Sister<\/strong><\/a>; I don\u2019t even get to go over there, anymore to read her \u2014 not because she\u2019s not interesting, but because some days I don\u2019t even get to read the headlines until\u2026well, about now. It\u2019s a big thing to run a blog for five years, and Ginny\u2019s a sweetie. Happy Anniversary, girl!<\/p>\n

More catching up \u2013 I\u2019m going to do an old-fashioned tab-bar clearance to get the weekend started:<\/p>\n

Over at Catholic Key<\/a>:<\/strong> Jack Smith is writing about the State Department\u2019s apparent dislike of Ambassador Doug Kmiec\u2019s thoughts and ways<\/strong><\/a>. I thought he was foolish to support Obama on the belief that, somehow, this Senator with a 100% approval rating from NARAL<\/strong><\/a> would magically turn out to be the president who reduced abortions; he\u2019s the president who will veto a bill that cuts funding to the nation\u2019s biggest abortion provider. But that said, it sounds to me like perhaps Kmiec is not getting a fair shake, here. <\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n

A look back at Jonah Goldberg\u2019s<\/strong> writings on abortion, euthanasia and Margaret Sanger<\/strong><\/a>. Offered in response to this vile little quote<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Vatican will be<\/strong> meeting with bloggers!<\/strong><\/a> We\u2019re coming up in the world! Rocco has the story<\/strong><\/a> and Miss Davis is feeling inspired<\/strong><\/a> to go to Rome! Somewhat related, today is the anniversary of John Paul II\u2019s funeral<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Msgr Charles Pope:<\/strong> Without the truth we are left only with power<\/strong><\/a>. A really good piece, looking at Pope Benedict\u2019s latest book.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Day the Earth Stood Still:<\/strong> You SciFi geeks kill me, usually, but I like Joseph Susanka\u2019s comparison<\/strong><\/a> of the old film and the remake.<\/p>\n

Pat Gohn:<\/strong> Makes a great analogy as to getting to confession<\/strong><\/a> and that other place you go where nobody else knows\u2026<\/p>\n

Via Lisa Graas<\/a>,<\/strong> who is a Passionist Oblate, news of a new novice<\/strong><\/a> and a lovely slideshow of the vestition<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The 6 Most Unexpected Converts<\/strong><\/a>. I love the Lourdes story, but was also every taken by the information that Buffalo Bill Cody and Sitting Bull!<\/p>\n

Hell is getting hot:<\/strong> with Intrigue!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Max Lindenman: Mummies, Miracles and Dry, Dry Bones<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Susannah Breslin:<\/strong> I love her name, but I love her smart columns even more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jennifer Fulwiler:<\/strong> A beautiful piece on the beautiful moon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Patrick Madrid:<\/strong> Mama\u2019s don\u2019t let your babies date non-Catholics<\/strong><\/a>. Don\u2019t know if I agree; my Elder Son wouldn\u2019t have met Kitty had we had that rule, but it\u2019s an interesting argument.<\/p>\n

A Court of Israel?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Anchor: If you\u2019re secure in it<\/a>,<\/strong> you don\u2019t mind where the wind takes you.<\/p>\n

Horrible story<\/strong><\/a>; I swear, looking at the Drudge headlines<\/strong><\/a> is enough to throw me back into wondering if the world is truly upside down<\/strong><\/a> and in the grip of a diabolical disorientation.<\/p>\n
