I got this in an email from a dear friend and it struck me as being one of the funnier things I’ve read in a very long time – funny in description and tone if not in subject matter: I like cats. Really like the ambience a litter box lends to the home. Actually we…

Fascinating article – basically a bunch of Catholic Members of Congress are appealing to the Catholic Bishops to get more involved in standing against the Iraq War. The lawmakers, all Democrats, wrote to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops asking for a meeting to discuss how Congress “and the clergy can work together to mobilize…

Jesus, many have said, didn’t come to usher in a new set of rules or a new set of morals. He came, John says in his Gospel, to “bring life and bring it in full.” So much of the world I see lacks life, lacks hope. But there are glimpses that we get – akin…

I read the comments and sometimes I smile, sometimes I am deeply moved, sometimes I cringe, and sometimes I am befuddled. Perhaps we should call a momentary truce – perhaps just till the end of July? Let’s try and engage each other without ever using the words “conservative” or “liberal”…and, while we are at it,…

While I am increasingly against “conservative” and “liberal” as terms because I think that they are increasingly meaningless, I was particularly struck by this post from PatientWitness. I don’t agree with every item and I don’t think it is fair to say that liberals deserve all the credit for things mentioned below. That being said,…

The Founders never intended us to have the professional political class we now have – heck, they didn’t intend for a two-party political system but that is another matter. So, after reading a wee bit more about my new favorite person Derek Fisher, I think he needs to be president. Here is an article from…

…how discouraging and depressing is virtually everything political these days? I say “virtually” instead of “totally” out of a wee bit of optimism. I look at Bush and Pelosi and Cheney and Reid and at virtually everyone else and I wonder if there is actually a leader to be found. Yuck. I hope that some…

My son has blue eyes. This isn’t necessarily a big deal – lots and lots of babies are born with blue eyes only to have them change later. His eyes may well stay blue – my mom’s eyes are blue, my wife’s dad’s eyes are blue, this wouldn’t be a stretch. What is funny is…

…and focusing on this – a man who gives up millions to be with his family in a time of crisis. It is easy to look at someone like this and think that isn’t a big deal – he’s made lots of money, he’s got to choose his family. But the lure of success and…

Following up on his piece last week on Ann Coulter, Darrell Bock writes: It is called truth in advertising. It means that when one reports about events that the remarks be accurate. Few places are more important that this be the case than in discussing politics. For misquotes inflame not only ideas, but feelings—and misquotations…
