The time has come again for me to take a breather from blogging for a while. Maybe a long while. I’ve been blogging on and off since August of 2003 and I’m burned out. Life has been working hard to keep me on my toes, I’ve got some personal goals that I need to work on [...]

Just when you think our enemies-turned-snuggle-buddies are domesticated, Russia goes and revives long-range bomber patrols.
After joint military exercises with my in-laws.
Hmmm. Wonder what their plans are.
I Don’t Like This One Bit

Just found this on the Federal Government’s (formerly) secret training program for clergy. Training for what, you ask?
A shocking KSLA news report has confirmed the story we first broke last year, that Clergy Response Teams are being trained by the federal government to “quell dissent” and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event [...]
A Charitable Confiscation (or why I loathe the USCCB)

So I’m in Church this morning and Ivan is screeching like a girl so I take him out to the narthex (A.K.A. the place where I spend most of my liturgical life these days.) While I’m standing there I notice a card on the bulletin board, entitled, “What is important to Catholic citizens?”
As I begin [...]

It’s real, and it teaches about the highest court in the land.
I don’t know about you, but considering that it teaches how the SCOTUS is supposed to work, I can think of a few people who should really get their hands on it.

American Jurisprudence: Abortion? Legal. Raw Milk…?

An interesting story came up today as one of the New York Times “most e-mailed” articles. It’s a piece about raw milk, and the lengths that people are going to to get it, despite government intervention to limit access to it or stop its consumption altogether.
In Virginia, the only way to get your hands on [...]

Check out this document from The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
It’s a look at the status of the old Mass through the lens of Summorum Pontificum, and there are quite a few telling statements in there. I’ll give you two (with my emphasis) and then you can, properly motivated, read and enjoy it for [...]
As Intellectual Property Law Develops…

…things like this are going to backfire.
Without a special license, owners of bars, clubs and restaurants could be sued for playing any one of 8 million recorded songs, even from their own CDs.
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) says that equates to performing copyrighted music without permission, and the group is going [...]
