As a Catholic and a news junkie, I’d been keeping up with the goings on of the Church for a while. And the last several days have been exciting. Now that the Church has a new leader in Pope Francis (not Francis I, since there is no Francis II), we can sit back, relax and let things return to a sense of normalcy, right? Ha | Read More »
Let me start out by saying I am all for us going over the fiscal cliff, but only if we do so like Wile E. Coyote. Just keep walking until we realize the ground is gone, then fall in time with a slowly fading whistle until we hit the ground and leave a USA-shaped hole in the ground. Maybe there will be a trampoline at | Read More »
I just turned one of the most famous Greek battles into a verb. Let me just enjoy that accomplishment for a moment. Before I go on, full disclosure: my personal beliefs on abortion and gay marriage are not up for debate. I am very certain you and I disagree on some social issues, but as Mr. Erickson pointed out to me earlier today, the Republican | Read More »
I work at a newspaper that belongs to a media group who recently endorsed Mitt Romney and is running editorials saying such in all its papers.

I actually ended up doing one of these for both candidates. You can find the Obama speech at my blog, if you wish to read it. —————————————————————– Good evening Mr. Moderator, Mr. President and America.

So, here we are, fresh after debate number two. Twitter actually stopped me from tweeting. Apparently, I went too hardcore. It is clear to me that this debate was a tie, if only because both sides are trumpeting the victory of their candidate. I did hear a lot about how rude Romney was, but these same people were silent during Biden’s relentless interruptions, and Biden | Read More »
Turkey has authorized cross-border action against Syria if need be. This according to Al Jazeera. The mandate, valid for one year, was passed by 320 votes in the 550-seat Turkish parliament, the Anatolia news agency reported on Thursday. Besir Atalay, Turkey’s deputy prime minister, said authorising the use of force in Syria was not a declaration of war but was intended as a deterrent. The vote | Read More »
ADOS stands for “Attention Deficit… Ooh! Shiny!” and it’s a game being played in this presidential election. We’ve had so many distractions in this race I can hardly remember what the issues are. Luckily, we have the Inter-… …Nevermind. The Bain Capital attacks are always fun. The immigration issue caught a lot of us off guard. Obamacare? Another one. We have yet to sit in | Read More »
