Today’s the bank holiday popularly known as Presidents’ Day, but technically known as Washington’s Birthday. Peter Roff at US News & World Report finds this “a Ridiculous Insult to George Washington,” because we’re celebrating all the presidents, good and bad, rather than just George Washington. The result, he argues, was that the holiday caused George… Continue reading Happy Presidents’ Day?

The Best Football Bible Verses
I mentioned the controversy surrounding Tim Tebow’s upcoming Super Bowl ad earlier today. What I totally forgot to mention is that this is the same player who have Bible verses on his eye black. To keep the sun out of their eyes, lots of athletes put eye black underneath them (since it’s black, it absorbs… Continue reading The Best Football Bible Verses
The Tebow Message: Choose Life
The controversy over the upcoming Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad has been incredible. I. The AdThe exact content of the ad is still secret, but pretty widely understood to be the story of Tim Tebow’s own birth in 1987, probably told by his mother, Pam.

Rock Show Desecrates St. James Church in NYC
This is more than mildly offensive, which fortunately, even some indie rock voices seem to (sort of) get. A band played in the beautiful St. James Church in NYC, playing in the sanctuary, crowd-surfing down the aisles, with an open bar and lots of photo evidence. Let’s hope Abp. Dolan steps up to bat and… Continue reading Rock Show Desecrates St. James Church in NYC
Number 41
As I’m sure everyone (at least in the US) is well aware, Scott Brown just became the newest Senator from Massachusetts. His seat was opened when Sen.

The Cross is Steady
The catastrophe in Haiti was so shocking that I wasn’t really sure how to react here: what I could possibly provide to the dialogue. Fortunately, Matt from my Men’s Prayer Group sent me this e-mail, which sounds the perfect note: The Carthusian order of monks have a motto: Stat crux dum volvitur orbis, which in… Continue reading The Cross is Steady
This is NUTS
Apparently, you can promote Islam, but not mention Catholicism (or Christianity broadly) in the UK. The self-hating West is tearing its own culture down at a startling rate.
Baby News!
In other news, my niece, Amara, was born last night! She’s 8 lbs, 8 ounces, and was a whopping 21 and 3/4th inches long. My nephew, Jude, was born last year, and set the weight record for the month at the hospital. Amara, on the other hand, is really tall (long? I’m not sure how… Continue reading Baby News!
