Poor Oprah has been the victim of a hate crime. Her recovery after this disheartening occurrance will naturally be very slow, and of course she will use the event to help in her crusade to inform and educate the public. Clearly her motive is the good of the public, not publicity or a program topic […]

Read this. If you are down on yourself, study it. If you are really hurting, bookmark it and read it again tomorrow. And if you think you can’t change things, make it your start page. Sometimes I think that demon he mentions is a real demon, a voice that talks so loud it interferes with […]

He notes the discrepancy between how Americans treat nutty stars and how they treat men who make sacrifices for God. Why, I wonder, do we even care what Michael Jackson’s verdict is, unless it is out of […]

These are the words of Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg, a Los Angeles Democrat who chairs the Assembly Education Committee. She was speaking of California Assembly Bill 756, which bans schools from purchasing textbooks of over 200 pages. I intended to write on this sooner, but I had to wait until I could catch my breath. While […]

Just when I thought I’d gotten used to the sort of Christians who hate Catholics for being too liberal, the Church gets a sideswipe from Secularists who hate Catholics for being too conservative. Specifically, the National Secular Society in Britain has begun a campaign to exclude Pope Benedict from the Live 8 concert. Pope Benedict, […]

With poverty, like with most problems, it’s a lot easier to pinpoint the problem than to solve it. The Anchoress has some strong and much needed words on the subject, and I urge all to read and reflect on them. I won’t say more, as she’s already said it, and better.
