News on the Pope’s Condition
ABC news is reporting right now that Pope John Paul II’s condition has worsened considerably this afternoon. The report, which comes from a very reputable news agency in Italy, says that the Pope is running a very high fever, possibly caused by a urinary infection. If I see or hear any more news, I’ll pass [...]
Terri Schaivo Dead
Terri Schaivo is dead. Spiritualist extremist and lawyer George Felos reported that her death was peaceful and serene. I pray that, despite all my misgivings and the reasonable doubt I have felt, that it was so. I am mostly saddened, though, that this entire story has given rise to some very shoddy reporting. Even today, [...]
Alaska or the Blues?
The funny things you find around the blogosphere. Llamabutcher Robert informs us that, if you haven’t picked up your party hats and noisemakers, you probably should because today is the 138th anniversary of Seward’s Folly. Yes, well that’s all okay and we’re all very proud of Mr. Seward for hooking us that huge beautiful patch [...]

Do you just like good, thoughtful writing, in a language you can understand? Then the guys at Q and O [...]

Death of a Chorus
My brother sent along this news article for comment and I’m not going to disappoint. Eastern High School has, for a couple of decades, had a very good and very prominent chorus. They’ve toured around the United States and internationally. They’ve recorded a couple CDs and have performed before the President. Their Director, Joyce Garrett, [...]
The Fringe and Me
Glenn Reynolds has a post today that sort of frustrates me. He opens thus: Hugh’s right that it’s hard to ascribe the Congressional legislation to “theocrats” when it was supported by Tom Harkin (and Ralph Nader!). There’s much more going on than that; this is a matter on which all sorts of people, of all [...]
