As Auntie Lillie used to say, \u201cwelladay!\u201d The technical difficulties are not wholly fixed, but we should be mostly readable\/usable for now. I thank you all for putting up with the ups and downs for the last two days.<\/p>\n

Thanks, too, to Ed Morrissey<\/a> for inviting me onto his radio broadcast. He was a heaven-sent distraction from all the techno-woes. He asked me on for \u201ca few minutes\u201d and we ended up doing an hour of live chat<\/a>; my first experience without a delay and an editor. Hopefully it\u2019s not too awful. If you hang in there until about minute 25, you get to hear me do my Roseanne Rosannadanna imitation.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve been rocky, here\u2019s what you may have missed:
\n
\nTalking about the controversial painting,<\/strong> The \u201cTruth\u201d<\/a>
\nThoughts on<\/strong> Grace and the Baggage of lives and nations<\/a>
\nMary Ann Glendon\u2019s withdrawal from the Notre Dame Commencement<\/a>, and what it means.
\nSome Mothers Day Gift Ideas<\/a> (what can I say, it\u2019s a gifting season!)<\/p>\n

Some of my friends advised me today to get onboard with Twitter, but I think\u2026no, I know myself so well, and I know it will be just one more distraction when I\u2019m already feeling like a mad squirrel looking spotting too many shiny objects.<\/p>\n

But\u2026if I were twittering today, while I could not blog, I would have said of the incredibly stupid idea<\/a> of flying an Air Force One and a fighter jet into lower Manhattan<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It shows an arrogant disconnect to the reality of people\u2019s lives & some \u201cgreen\u201d hypocrisy, too<\/a>. Some giant carbon footprint for a photo-op, by the same administration that tells us we cannot just drive our SUV\u2019s and keep our houses at comfortable temperatures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You see why I don\u2019t twitter. 140 characters? I can\u2019t. I need a lot more room to say \u201cstupid\u201d<\/a>, or dumb things.<\/p>\n

As to the rest, I know I am being spammed to death and a few other things are not quite right, just yet. Comments may be turned off for a little while until I can get things under control. Please bear with me! I appreciate your patience.<\/p>\n

Also, if you\u2019ve got me on a feedburner subscription<\/strong>, you may have to redo \u2013 the RSS feed is http:\/\/www.firstthings.com\/theanchoress\/?feed=rss2<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
