Scavenger

Posted on December 03, 2008
Craig Childs, in thisopinion piece in the Los Angeles Times, reflects on life as a scavenger -- always looking out for garbage that may be profitable. He wonders whether the economy will lead more people to adopt his hunter/gatherer habits. He starts his piece with a note about a couple in Colorado who opened their fields to gleaners...

Planned Parenthood Uncovered

Posted on December 03, 2008
Lila Rose, a UCLA student reporter, posed as a 13-year-old girl in a multi-state investigation of the abortion industry. Rose described her project, the Mona Lisa project, as demonstrating the routine lawlessness of abortion providers at Planned Parenthood ...

Mr. Goldberg Stands Firm for the Mormons

Posted on December 03, 2008

Mr. Dreher responds that religion is not, as Mr. Hart argues, "toxic to moderate, independent, suburban, young, and more inclusively, educated voters," and that religion in fact had nothing to do with the Republican

Continued Attacks on Religion

Posted on November 30, 2008
Why is religion still the arch-nemesis of intellectualism? The two are not zero-sum. But I realize the debate is as old as religion itself, and not likely to offer much insight. Case in point is this article about the morphing of the abortion debate to exclude a religious aspect and instead focus on just the plain old sanctity of life...

Unnecessary Excess Part II

Posted on November 28, 2008
A reader (??? - really - there's still a reader to this blog??) emailed me about my earlier post and asked "Well?" Well, I haven't seen any articles (mostly because I don't read many articles anymore - I just listen to the news in the background of ever-increasingly-loud children) but I have heard a little about the upcoming inaugural season of Pres-Elect Obama...
