Hopefully, this will take the edge off yesterday's picture.
Such Thrashing About! It's rather fun to watch socialist/lefties
throwing
themselves about Europe at even the whiff of Right Wing Wacko Le Pen in
their
lives. Some even fell into the streets to protest - as though that ever
accomplished anything. Warren Hoge in the NYTimes swings his keyboard around
Europe for
the hysterical reaction.
So There You Have It: The Washington Post says the chief of
Palestinian
security stepped out of the, by now, putrid bunker in Ramallah and blithely
informed the press that it was
"not my priority"
to stop attacks on Israel.
However,
the NYTimes has a story
saying
that the "militant" group that was
using female homicide bombers is going to cut back on attacks. Guess they
need
the girls to clean up.
Coming to Grim Grips With The Problem: Rod Dreher's excellent piece
on the
Catholic Church's gay problem was posted too late for mention yesterday
morning but
take the time to read it. Unless the good fathers gathered in
Rome let in the sunshine the church, as we know it, is doomed.
All In The Family: The LATimes revisits the ongoing family feud
between the
Nixon "girls" using the interesting coinage of "disgraced" when referring to
the late Richard Nixon. How soon will we see "impeached" attached to
mention
of Bill Clinton?
Interesting piece, nonetheless
. Insiders agree that it has been ginned up
by
Eddie Cox' meddling.
Striking A Blow For Freedom: We particularly liked this heartwarming
story
out of Louisville about a local comedian who woke telemarketers in their
hotel rooms at a convention. There is
some good advice on the thread
as well
as a few sales in the works for Radio Shack's zapping device.
Finally, Some Respect: With few people noticing, something has
happened in
the magazine world. The fusty-dusty yawn producing Atlantic Monthly has
sprung to life and is
the hot new must-read
. For those who are fans of Mike
Kelly's columns - he is the reason why. This piece in the Washington Post
highlights his changes. Check it out online or at your newsstand.
