… Rome and winter. Reuters, Alessandro Bianchi Reuters, Alessandro Bianchi Reuters, Alessandro Bianchi Vatican Web Cam. Here’s some more. When I was there last April & the first week of May the Romans were bundled in puffy ski coats and scarves for temperatures in the 50’s. I imagine this is hellish for them to endure. But it sure is pretty. Meanwhile, here in North Carolina, my Bradford Pear trees and daffodils have already started to bloom. I’ll have to start... Read more
… Interesting how this is considered wicked idolatry, but no one raises an eyebrow at this. Super Bowl side note; at least Madonna kept all her clothes on. And some dude marries a piece of bacon… why not, I guess. Yes, I’m still in a cranky mood. Read more
… Breaking News: Koman reverses decision on Planned Parenthood grants A short lived victory with an utterly disappointing and predictable end. Why, SGK Foundation, why? You should have stuck to your guns. You’ve lost all credibility now. Neither side will ever trust you again. It’s a shame, really. You did do legitimate good. Alas, no more.

Last night the website for the Susan G Komen Foundation was hacked by leftist Planned Parenthood supporters. PS- I predicted PP was going to use this “blow” to their financial advantage and begin raking in the pity contributions. Well, I was right. Mayor Bloomberg is quoted as saying “Politics have no place in health care”. I am sure the irony is utterly lost on him. All together every one … abortion is not health care. I’m also sure Cecile Richards... Read more
… I find the endless reactionary shrieks from liberals condemning Susan G Komen’s decision strangely ironic. Why the hell should they care whether Planned Parenthood loses funding from the Komen Foundation? The two organizations made strange bedfellows.
