Hyper tied up, today, but may I strongly recommend you take 20 minutes (I know, that’s long in blog-reading) to watch Dr. Helen explore the values and victimhoods of the modern feminist movement as it exists on college campuses. She speaks with a spokesperson for (NeW), the Network of ...

not know (as we have discussed for years) that
the Global Warming Hoax was/is, as we have always know it to be, a hoax . An effort to defraud nations and assist in the tireless (and creative) leftist international ...

Because I am a distracted and disorganized fool , I had not stopped by Julie’s website in a few days, and I missed the news that her father had passed away .
Julie’s father was a determined atheist who wanted no part of God, and in the past year she has written many moving posts ...

Charles Krauthammer explains in no uncertain terms why Eric Holder is basically lying (or purposely redefining what trials are in Obamaland) when he calls the KSM Showtrial in NYC a real trial.
So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the ...

“If I’ve learned anything yet about transparency is that it’s harder to practice transparency than it is to talk about transparency. It’s definitely not something for the faint of heart.”
Only the Obama Administration would be allowed to get away with that.

I don’t know what this organ piece is, but it’s joyful, exuberant and energy-pumping.
Rise and shine, and get jiggy with the habits in Rome!

I know I haven’t done them in a while , but this morning -up early and venturing into the splendid Office of Readings, (OOR) I thought I would share them with you. As we approach the end of the liturgical year, the readings are full of end-times scripture and prophecy, and the lessons are ...

Pianogirl sent this recipe to me a few years ago. I used it for one of Buster’s Eagle fund raisers, and people went berserk for it. With good reason. It’s incredibly delicious. I made it a few months ago, because we really love pumpkin around here, and one of my husband’s ...

Very entertaining talk on why the new film 2012 is not worth spending a dime on, at least from my perspective. Fr. Robert Barron calls it “anti-religious” and “anti-Catholic,” although among people of faith Buddhists are allowed to be good people who live (there you go, ...

Love Sarah Palin or not, one has to admit the press is so undone by her that they are both aggressive and passive-aggressive in their hate, and they betray themselves continually in all sorts of ways. They betray their snobbism; they betray their spitefulness, and most emphatically, they betray ...

In pop culture, Vampires are currently (again) all the rage, and Fr. Z makes the amusing and not so off-base observation that this icon of our dear friend, Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, looks a bit like a vampire slayer.
The Dominican Tertiary from Italy is actually shown holding his rosary ...

I was doing a little catalogue shopping , and thought, “before I order this stuff, let me see if any of it is on Amazon, and a bit cheaper.”
Turns out, quite a few things I was looking to buy were sold through Amazon, and in every case cheaper than the catalogue prices.
This, I ...

This is really very good. Head over to Pajamas Media and take a look at Ed Driscoll laying out how hap-hap-happy the NY Times has always been to celebrate the state, and statism.
I do love to see alternative media bite the ankles of the media establishment, particularly these days, when a ...

Her feast day was last Friday, November 13, but somehow I missed writing about the first American saint, a diminutive, iron-willed woman who left a rather wealthy family in Italy to work with the poor Italian immigrants in NYC: from Italy, St. Francis Xavier Cabrini .
Gaining her citizenship ...

At least it’s a good song! And cheerful.

I have written frequently about the great consumables and products offered by various monastic communities. This year, happily, there seem to be a number of news outlets taking the time to visit with communities to get the low-down on their wares, and in the process, we learn about more great ...
