https://ottawaphotographer.com/3rh967ihzp0 It’s is time for the morning post-debate thoughts. Pardon me while I yawn! OK, formally Sen. Obama won. But he won only because Sen. McCain dipped so often into negative campaigning. Last night’s debate was a yawner that was exciting only during the part where Sen. McCain started to get through to Sen. Obama and […]

https://www.mdifitness.com/m532mmz The questions on foreign policy have gone on. However, both candidates have currently backed off from their attacks, and it looks as though Sen. Obama is calming down. In fact, like a couple of boxers, both are getting to the slightly punch-drunk stage. They are trying to maintain energy, but both are stumbling every so […]

And on to healthcare. Either Sen. Obama completely misunderstood the first question or has deliberately sidestepped it. It was a philosophical question. Should healthcare be a “commodity” on the free market or should it be a quasi-government approach. However, he answered about his health plan without responding to the economic philosophy that he has for […]
https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=hvyw2bwz The first Internet question is an excellent one. Sacrifices will have to be made. What sacrifices would you ask the American people to make? While Sen. McCain did have some good responses, again with the litany of what Sen. Obama has supposedly not done. Sen. Obama has harked back to President Kennedy’s days and called […]

After the typical polite introduction by the hosts, the first (and only) town hall debate. Not surprisingly the first question was on the economy and what the candidates would do. The first answer by Sen. Obama made better points. But on the follow-up about who should be the Treasury Secretary, Sen. McCain was able to […]

https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/d2h5yzjegab This series of posts began with a post from Caldonia Sun found here related to the autumn book club on mysticism. It triggered me to begin reflecting again on Holy Tradition, what it is, and what it means for our lives. But, behind it was also a whole set of discussions over a several year […]
From Fox News Sunday comes the following quote of a quote: “Congress is a system designed by a geniuses to be run by idiots.” Without fear of contradiction, I believe that I can safely say that there is broad agreement across all political stripes in this country that the above statement is fully true, fully […]
https://ottawaphotographer.com/b491f00f4z “When we fixate on the racist individual, we’re focused on the least interesting way that race works,†said Phillip Goff, a social psychologist at U.C.L.A. who focuses his research on “racism without racists.†“Most of the way race functions is without the need for racial animus.†That quote comes from the NYT and can be […]

https://hazenfoundation.org/4lnkjtny I was meandering the Internet when I ran across the blog of a Catholic deacon named Greg. To my utter surprise, he had the video below posted on his site. And, he had received it from someone else. It is a wonderful story of monastics who basically follow the old rules, but have come up […]
This will probably be the least satisfying posting, both for myself and for those reading this. Remember that it took decades for the Church to work out the four negatives (only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation) that define our Lord Jesus Christ. I have very little faith that […]
