Tis a shame the Catholic blog search engine no longer works. Type something in and it retrieves the results - for about one nanosecond.
Wade Boggs could not only flat-out hit, but perhaps more importantly could flat-out drink.
Finally reading the book 1776, and McCullough writes about a Joseph Reed who left his family to accompany the charismatic George Washington, which reminds me of how crucial a personal relationship with Christ since that is what will cause someone to sacrifice something:
As Reed explained, Washington had "expressed himself to me in such terms that I thought myself bound by every tie of duty and honor to comply with his request to help him through the sea of difficulties."McCullough also mentions Washington's great-grandfather John Washington. My question to you is this: Everyone has four great-grandfathers. Why is it that in the history books only the paternal-paternal one gets ink when DNA is such that you or I could be partially a product of any of the four?
René Girard reviews Pope Benedict's book on Jesus (via Intelligam, thru the lens of Babelfish).
Interesting article concerning how the Christian church has struggled with what to do with the Old Testament.
A Cornerite posts about Sopranos...I feel out o' the loop. Never seen a Sopranos episode or American Idol, Desperate Housewives or Sex in the City. Never saw an episode of 24 until 2005 and Lost leaves me feeling lost.
I'm liking the Goldberg-Beinart NR video discussions about tv pundits. My impersonation of Cokie Roberts: "But does the candidate have ovaries?"..."Well the really important thing is that she is a she."....and "What a shame the French didn't elect the candidate with breasts". I know, I'm harsh.
I’m tempted to sing the Mary Poppins lyrics “I Love to Laugh” as “I Love to Write”. What a joy! I woke up still half in a dream and made my way to the Great White Way, i.e. the word processor, and the Bob Novak piece basically wrote itself. Novak is one of those rare individuals who is actually an individual. Old bloggers will recall the great KTC, “Kathy the Carmelite”, who likewise was an individual and who had a deep and abiding affection for Robert Novak. And it was nice that Eric Scheske linked it in NCR since those sorts of offerings are labors of love and thus are almost definitionally of limited appeal.
No too surprising since I'm not from Taxachusetts though I love Boston...via Dylan:
