Can this marriage be saved? Dr.

Posted on March 01, 2010
Can this marriage be saved? Dr. Helen really does not like Suze Orman.  But you have to wonder about the wife in this story who would go on national television to complain about her husband who wants to go to law school in his 40s.

Down the Memory Hole This Classical

Posted on February 28, 2010
Down the Memory Hole This Classical Values post, and the video below, raise some good points about the disparate treatment of men in post-modern Western culture.  Add to this disproportionate differences in homelessness and suicide, the disproportionately greater expenditures on women's medical issues, and you have a sense that if these factoids didn't favor women, they would be considered a

Richard Dawkins discovers that his Fanboys are, in fact, socially autistic jerks This is announcement by the "King of Socially Autistic Jerks" is ironic beyond all recognition.  After Dawkins announced that he was redesigning his website to reduce the amount of "frivolous gossip," the Great Man found himself the subject of villification at the hands of his fanbase...

Civil Rights in the 21st Century Court

Posted on February 27, 2010
Civil Rights in the 21st Century Court holds that Zombies have free speech rights. I liked it better when our women didn't want to date sparkly vampires and we could put down Zombies without wondering if we were violating their Miranda rights.

Want to be an instant hero to the libertine Left? Live-tweet your abortion. Isn't it called the right of privacy for a reason? And in case the message about the culture of death isn't enough, listen to her video: Angie the Anti-theist says that "abortion is not that bad...

Language can be so Cool. As much of an American chauvinist as I am, I have to admit that Brit politicians are just so much better at dealing out clever put-downs than any American. Nigel Farage in this video levels the new EU president, while asking a very serious question...

Let's get into that Curling action! I did not know that women curlers - as in the Olympic Sport, not the appliance - were such, well, babes. This calendar makes me want to take an interest in this dynamic and nuanced sport, which will certainly approach the popularity of beach Volleyball in no time...

File under "Give your criminal defense lawyer a hug." Woman recants rape allegations that put man in jail for 3 years. The bad news is that she put this guy in jail for the most trivial of reason, which is pure evil. The good news is that she had enough of a conscience to finally do the right thing, which is good...

File under "Our Country is in the Best of Hands." Harry Reid offers a pernicious sexual stereotype - "I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand.

Posted on February 22, 2010
The Pius Wars - Round II The reviewer of "Did Pius XII Help the Jews" responded to my comment: Again, I hesitate to spend too much time on this unfortunate time in Catholic life. Why don't people write more about the great Catholics, famous and unknown, the priests who spend time helping the homeless, church members who help the poor and handicapped, nuns toiling in obscurity helping the aged

Alibis and Achievement "There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday...

Posted on February 18, 2010
Straws in the Wind Here is Mike Flynn's Thomistic critique of Intelligent Design and an atheist's critique of Darwinism. Flynn's post makes some wonderfully intersting points. For example: Also Darwin tried to explain species while denying the real existence of species which is rather problematical: "I look at the term species as one arbitrarily given, for the sake of convenience, to a set

The Pius Wars An Amazon review of Margherita Marcchione's "Did Pius Help the Jews?"  includes this farrago of historical urban legend masquerading as things that everyone knows: The case against Pius though looks compelling. He signed an agreement with the Nazi party which he never repudiated, oversaw the German Catholic Church as attacks on Jews turned from vandalism, harassment, loss of jobs

Maybe they should teach sex education to Yale law students and see if that works, before they start in on impressionable teen-agers.
